88’s arent really video capable though are they?
It’s the same interface wiring iirc.
AFAIK they’re used to communicate with the SMS and provide the feed you see on your MFD when selecting them.

Falcon had me so mad today. I cant get the TGP to stay still no point or area track. I could therefore not get my MAVs away

I must admit … I haven’t really even started looking at the viper yet …also getting old so can only remember so many different controls at one time …

I can viper pretty well, but I havent touched the TPOD since a first look when it was just released. Something about negative training.
Y’all think hornet and viper are going to receive the same helmet pointed TGP the hog has now? Because that’d be effin rad.

Yup.
Would be nice, but I’m not sure. In any case, it won’t display as much information.

I think the Tank Killer Hog simulates the Scorpion Helmet whereas Viper and Bug simulate JHMCS.
Not sure if the latter have or will get the ability to slave the TPOD to the HMD. I don’t even know whether there is such a capability in real life for these systems.
I dont need no info, all I want is DMS right long.
Been a while but I seem to remember the pilot slewing his pod with his helmet in the Raven One book.
Think the Viper and Hornet will get JHMCS. It will take a while, but we will get there. Then it will really be like Star Wars.
Welp, guess that answers that then

Called it!
Im having a hard time at Mavericks in the Falcon. The TGP is near useless. In Pre mode I cant get it to do anything. First in will not move. Then when I get it to slew it just walks and will not stop. There is no point or area Mode. I have resorted to using Visual and Bore mode.
Im watching videos on Mav ripples but can’t emulate that at all.

Need a little help here. I am trying to ripple Mavs and im so frustrated 
. When im in Pre mode the TGP does not slew. It does not change to area using TMS Rt or Point using TMS Up. All I can do is set it to waypoint.
This took a very long time. I am not proud of how long it took to learn this. In the end I am getting Mavs off the rail a lot better. I did some training this week and it finally came together last night. Still I am not confident in what I am doing.
I gave up on Pre mode. In Pre mode I cant move the TGP. I cant slew the MAV either. I really cant come to grips with it.
Visual mode is my favorite at the moment. Here is what I understand. I can TMS down to put the TGP on target. I then make the MAV SOI and TMS down then Up to get the circle. This is where the MAV is looking. Once I got the MAV circle close to the square(TGP) I can search the MPD for targets. When I rifle, I must again set TGP to target, Make MAV SOI, then TMS Down then Up and the circle appears. Find target and rifle. Seems like the Falcon is a real PITA when it comes to MAVs.
What I don’t understand is why I need to move the TMS Down and Up to get the MAV symbiology
