DCS got updated today and we finally have a TGP for the Hornet! It's not the ATFLIR, which is a more advanced pod, but it's the LITENING II. It's the same pod the A-10C uses, and what the Marines use on their Hornets. Only the Navy uses the ATFLIR.
It's not fully implemented, but it's implemented enough to target your own GPS and laser guided weapons, and lase for others. It can also spot track lasers from other jets (A-10's, Hornets and Harriers). It basically has all the most important functions and has the correct HOTAS mappings for FoV, black hot/white hot, TV/FLIR mode and zoom.
This is a really big day for the Hornet and moves it's capabilities forward light years. It's a complete and usable combat platform now. Still waiting on things like TWS and ground radar, but this to me is the last of the "must have" capabilities for the Hornet to be as combat effective as the A-10C.
