 There are thus 4 submodes in the MARK page. To toggle between the submodes use DCS SEQ. The system defaults to a specific subpage according to master mode and Sensor of Interest (SOI) and may enable automatic markpoint recording (automatic markpoint are only made in the Air to Air mode)<br />
 Markpoints are created with TMS forward (TMS up) and are visible on the HSD page once created as a cyan cross.<br />

 :*The fourth line is the elevation of the steerpoint (the altitude at which you are supposed to overfly the steerpoint according to your INS flight plan). This is different from the real jet that has the ground spot height for steerpoint in this field (it is quite relevant to TGP mechanisation and finding the target).
 :*The fifth line is the TOS (Time Over Steerpoint) which gives you the local time the steerpoint will be reached, if you are following the route of flight as planned.

 The FLIR page is only available when both LANTIRN pods are loaded on the chin pylons of compatible F-16s (Block 25/30/32/40 EAF/42/52+, KF-16 & F-16I).Obviously chin hardpoints must be powered up for the FLIR to be operational. The FLIR needs between 8 and 15 minutes to cool down before use so start the process as soon as possible. The FLIR will be ready to operate as soon as the NOT TIMED OUT message disappears from the MFD.<br />
 OSB #18 places the FLIR in standby. OSB #20 places the FLIR in operational mode (OPER). Once operational the FLIR page will display the infrared view in front of the pod.<br /> The image can be repeated on the HUD by rotating the BRT ICP wheel upwards. The FLIR level can be changed with the ICP up and down FLIR arrows. The current gain and level values are displayed on the top left corner of the FLIR MFD.<br />

 OSB #10 is the boresight option. The boresight is used to better match the image in the HUD with the image from the FLIR camera at a certain range.<br />
 Depress OSB#10 and the BSGT mnemonic highlights. The HUD FLIR image can then be slewed with the cursors. Do not boresight on close objects. It is advised to boresight in flight on large objects such as the edge of a mountain or a road for instance. Once both images are superimposed correctly depress OSB#10 again and the BSGT mnemonic will return to its initial state.<br />

 When EDR mode is mode selected a speed caret is placed on the HUD tape to give a reference speed for best endurance at this altitude. This is very useful for holding patterns or maximum endurance cruise for instance. Further information given is time to bingo, optimum Mach number and wind direction and speed.

 The TIME page allows the pilot to set a HACK timer and a DELTA TOS for ROLEX calls. The first line gives the current system time. The second line is the hack timer. As the arrows indicate, pressing the ICP NEXT rocker button will start/freeze/resume the timer and ICP PREVIOUS rocker button will reset the hack timer to zero. When the HACK timer is running it is also visible on the CNI page.<br />

+The Cruise page provides information for navigation, time and fuel while cruising. It has 4 submodes: TOS, RNG, HOME and EDR<br />
 Each submode '''MUST BE''' mode selected to become active and supply accurate information and cues.(HUD carrets mainly) Remember mode-selecting is done with the M-SEL 0 button and when active highlights the area.<br />
 The submodes of the CRUS page are accessed sequentially with DCS SEQ.<br />

 The BINGO page is where you input your briefed Joker/Bingo settings. It is made up of two lines: the first one is where you enter your Joker or Bingo setting and the second line is the total fuel remaining on board. It is good practice as a mission begins to input the Joker value. You can then reset it to the briefed Bingo value once Joker fuel is reached.<br />
