Your a legend Redkite. Because of folks like you who take the time to do tutorials you make it so much easier to understand, frequently visit and enjoy your greatly appreciated work. Thanks so much.
Thank you for not falling for the letterbox format that so many ‘How to’ videos seem to be shifting to. It’s refreshing to be able to see what I’m being taught.
RUclips's compression and low bitrate are the primary reason I prefer to do closeups! otherwise it's so easy for things to blur away, especially with lots of motion.
Thanks for the tutorial, I found the hornet TGP is confusing, and harder to use than the A-10C TGP. The TGP on the A-10 is so intuitive. This tutorial helped me a lot, thanks!
This is such a good video. There's the normal stuff that's in most tutorials then there's the 10000IQ shit like the A/A flir usage or that HARM TOO interaction. Thanks a ton, man. This was really helpful.
As a newer Hornet driver, I greatly appreciate this like the others have said! Have shared this on our discord channel under hornet training. Thanks much!
Many Thanks. I was so frustrated when after a long time in VR I couldn't get along with the Hornet because of the pot. I'm training that right away and give thumbs up for this calm and very good tutorial. Thy vm ^^
I've been waiting for a video like this. The TGP in the hornet has gone through so many changes and revisions that the official videos are rather worthless. I will also say that I really appreciate your no-frills, no-bullshit style of video. Very well done.
Holy crap, wow, that was very impressive. Thank you so much for putting in the effort for this video, i'll be using it as a reference for a long time to come!
This is really good and welcome stuff. A brilliant roundup of all the features of one specific system. This is the sort of tutorial that is worth watching over and over to remain ‘current’ and get refreshed. Because whatever the case, you tend to forget stuff. Thanks for your work Redkite. It is very much appreciated!👌
Incredible informative video. I personally never thought of using the MPCD with the TGP for greyscale. Super useful as that green overload can really take its toll on your eyes after a while. Again, great job.
This is so good, I realize now just how much I leave on the table. Time to get out there in the sandbox and put some of these new techniques to the test!
This must be the updated video I was asking about in the laser guided bomb tutorial from 2 years ago. *Gets out pen and paper. No, I'm going to bed. I'll save this for tomorrow :)
We've all been anxiously waiting for this one for quite some time and you haven't disappointed. Exceptional work ... as usual! Thank you Mr Kite. Now if I only had a Display Port connected directly to my brain I could download all these into permanent memory. 😉
WOW! What a load of information, will definitely give these a go tonight. As is with any training, you will only memorize it if you do it. Thank you RedKite :)
Hey Redkite, just bought the Hornet and Supercarrier in the Christmas sales and just getting to them now. Thank you so much for these! You should make a training campaign for the hornet mate. I'd buy it tomorrow :)
Impeccable as always. I've only ever signed up for one Patreon, this one, because how can you not? The results clearly come from the effort put in. Thanks as ever.
Youre a boss mate. What an anazing teacher you are. Having taught a hands on trade online this year I can really appreciate the amount of planning and time that this has taken you. Thankyou for your efforts and I hope you are being well rewarded for your hard work. Take care, all the way from Australia! Tom
07:12 great video, I'm pretty sure only the horizontal lines can be used as metersticks. Confirmed page 469 of the manual. Once again great video thank you sir
@@noisytwit It did for me. But I keep trying to be smart and use the pod to avoid the awkward Mav slewing, which requires the TDC to be depressed for some reason. Problem was I couldn't see shit and was fumbling with the mouse because I didn't fully know the Hotas controls.
@@starfleethastanks you can disable realistic slew in the special page in settings under the F18 and you should be able to slew the MAV then without holding TDC depress. Taking out the Grisha for me wasn't too bad. Taking out the fastboats with the rocket showever was a pain, could not see those at all! Though I did do the mission the other night whilst we had the white NVG so with green it may be easier to see them.
At 7:15: The meter stick can not be "any" leg, only one of the two horizontals can be used for any distance measuring according to the meter number on the screen. The vertical ones in the TGP always show different distances, depending on how steep or shallow the TGP is looking at that moment. Similar to the flashlight effect. You can also see the reason for difference, if you look at the North direction cross top right corner, which is represented paralell to the ground in the display, in kinda 3D. Look at it at 6:45, the South-North arrow seems to be much longer, because you see it broadsided, the East-West arrow seems much shorter, but is is the same size, only tilted. Also see A-10C DCS manual page 337: "This numeric, when visible, displays the relative ground distance covered by the right half of the crosshair"
Very nice Red! Can you please elaborate more on the topic about the offset? I am not so sure that real life pods have troubles maintaining locks on low contrast areas. We all have seen pods locking perfectly during the gulf war where there are a lot of content available.
In most cases the pod won't have issues, sometimes sunrise/sunset can also upset the IR camera tracks! I couldn't say how much this method is used over just using INS ground stabilised or area/point but it serves as a useful a fall back mode.
yep i editing with openshot yout YT, and step by step, with the summery i make tuto "in french" on word with comment and images^^ ,so i'm french , but i inderstand step by step all the updates ^_ ^ There is everything for the Tpod on your YT tutorial, Thank's very much !!

Hi, so do I. I am from Russia and I can understand him easily
Isn't that awesome!! I know the feeling when only native speakers can understand....

A-10C II and RedKite video in the same day? This is great!
As always, amazing tutorial, no bullshit and straight to the point! Much appreciated and keep it up!
laughs in grim reapers doing nothing but handing out wrong tutorials

RUclips's compression and low bitrate are the primary reason I prefer to do closeups! otherwise it's so easy for things to blur away, especially with lots of motion.
The letterbox format is a result of recording a widescreen display which has a different aspect ratio to non-widescreen displays
THis guys videos are the BEST tutorials he doesn't do a lot of other talk around no joking just straight to the point. I friggin LOVE his videos.
Appreciate guys like you and ralfidude stepping up with these detailed tutorials of late.
Thanks for the tutorial, I found the hornet TGP is confusing, and harder to use than the A-10C TGP. The TGP on the A-10 is so intuitive. This tutorial helped me a lot, thanks!
Agree! And I find the green screen vastly inferior to the black/white version.
@@terryboyer1342 True! I find it so hard to find targets with green scale.

Thy vm ^^
Got my pen and paper ready, can’t wait!
The reasoning for the offset had puzzled me, thanks for explaining what it is for.
I'm 400. You make very good tutorials. You speak slowly, clearly and calmly - this is important for people with poor English :)
14:13' VVSLV I did use it a lot, until the HMD A2G capabilities came out :) Great Video! And yeah, I'm taking notes :)
An excellent video for a hornet driver returning after a long break (and perfectly timed, to boot), thanks!

So many informations. It's quite impressive.
If only I could watch these videos while flying in VR
Holy crap, wow, that was very impressive. Thank you so much for putting in the effort for this video, i'll be using it as a reference for a long time to come!
Core systems deserve the time and effort to present properly! Wouldn't want to teach someone badly.
This is amazing, good to have it all in one place.
It's nice to be able to cover a (mostly) complete feature too!
This is really good and welcome stuff. A brilliant roundup of all the features of one specific system. This is the sort of tutorial that is worth watching over and over to remain ‘current’ and get refreshed. Because whatever the case, you tend to forget stuff. Thanks for your work Redkite.

Coming back to this after a year (and noob on DCS at that time) has great value!
Thanks again, great video..
Glad to help!
Your tutorials are one of the best sources the community has to offer!
Thanks GeFlixes! glad they're appreciated.
For sure best video on the pod I've seen. Very nice job! The timelines also were every helpful.
God your videos have the best clarity, organization, and flow..... you make these modules worth really digging into
Incredible informative video. I personally never thought of using the MPCD with the TGP for greyscale. Super useful as that green overload can really take its toll on your eyes after a while. Again, great job.
Can also be easier to discern and identify objects sometimes.
Thank you! It was hard to find videos since so much has changed over time
Without you it would be impossible for me to learn DCS F/A-18.
Thank you so much.
A veritable firehose of information, all good stuff. I know how I'm spending the next three days.
This is so good, I realize now just how much I leave on the table. Time to get out there in the sandbox and put some of these new techniques to the test!
Red Kite this is just BRILLIANT Thank you! flaming well done mate, I don't know how you do it! 10. Out. Of. 10.
Thanks kindly!
I am watching every of your tutorials. I don't even have DCS, it's just so well done that I like watch it :D
Thanks for the kind words! (DCS does have a fair bit of it for free, with the simplified Su-25T being available if you want to try it out though!)
Very informative bro, I'm still coming back to this video while trying to master the tpod
Great video, you're detail and calm explanation helps a lot
I wish I found this one earlier... Thx a bunch for a spot on tutorial. Very informative and easy to understand.
The bomb fall line on the TGP I was not aware of. This is a game changer!
That little indicator packs quite a bit in! Took me by surprise.
This must be the updated video I was asking about in the laser guided bomb tutorial from 2 years ago. *Gets out pen and paper. No, I'm going to bed. I'll save this for tomorrow :)
Best Hornet Litening pod tutorial ever, amazing work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great Tutorial, well done. Thanks for your time and explaining the pod. I didnt know several points I found very useful.
We've all been anxiously waiting for this one for quite some time and you haven't disappointed. Exceptional work ... as usual! Thank you Mr Kite. Now if I only had a Display Port connected directly to my brain I could download all these into permanent memory. 😉
Haha i'd settle for not forgetting why I walked into a room!
Best tutorial for the TGP, ever! Clear and detailed. 👍👍👍
WOW! What a load of information, will definitely give these a go tonight. As is with any training, you will only memorize it if you do it. Thank you RedKite :)
I like your videos so much, I watched this even though I’ve already learned the pod. You sound happy!
Hah It's nice to be covering a (mostly) complete system!
Hey Redkite, just bought the Hornet and Supercarrier in the Christmas sales and just getting to them now. Thank you so much for these!

Great tutorial Red!
Raven One Mission 8 has been giving me trouble. After this video, that Grisha's hosed!
Go get 'em!
I was sure the default load out didn't give us a FLIR on M8?
@@noisytwit It did for me. But I keep trying to be smart and use the pod to avoid the awkward Mav slewing, which requires the TDC to be depressed for some reason. Problem was I couldn't see shit and was fumbling with the mouse because I didn't fully know the Hotas controls.
