User manual GAMES PC F-16-MULTIROLE FIGHTER (LANTIRN TUTORIAL)

[. . . ] LANTIRN TUTORIAL For use with F-16 Multirole Fighter by NovaLogic One of the more complex elements of the F-16 is the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting InfraRed for Night system. [. . . ] Slew the LANTIRN's targeting head using the Joystick Hatswitch while holding down on the SHIFT Key. When the "S" appears in the bottom of the screen, use the Keypad /, *, -, + to slew the Targeting Pod left, right, up, and down respectively. Since the targeting crosshairs begin looking straight down, you may have to slew it up if you want it to appear on your HUD. The LANTIRN has a 180° slew, which means it can only rise to a little more than half way up your HUD. For quick reorientation, press the HOME key to bring the LANTIRN Targeting system to center position (30° down from the F-16's attitude). 3 Using LANTIRN with GBU Laser Guided Bombs GBUs are Laser Guided Bombs, this means the LANTIRN must "lase" or laser target a ground object for the bomb to be able to find it. Since the bombs guidance system relies solely on the LANTIRN pod, you will not be able to acquire another target with the LANTIRN until the bomb has impacted on its target. A small "L" will appear in the lower right corner of the screen when it is turned on. Next you must manually slew the targeting head and keep the crosshairs over the ground object you wish to bomb. [. . . ] Once a LANTIRN lock is established, the targeting system is no longer bound by the 180° field of view. 5 [. . . ]
