Hello,
I have only a few flight hours in DCS A10 and while following the training courses, I also set up a misson with static targets (trucks and containers) to practice weapons delivery.
However, I have sometimes problems with TGP when I want to set the SPI.
My first question would be : How can I be sure that TMS up long did work and that my SPI is correctly designated? Some times I think it is locked (I am using Point track), but when I am close to the target, the TGP tracks behind the target...
I think I understand the difference between area and point track mode, but what I don't understand is in what cases is area mode used? Am I right to think that for my containers and trucks point track mode is the best?
About point track mode, what is the exact symbology I would have to wait for to set the SPI. Some times I only have crosses, sometimes there is a box in the crosses and sometimes the box is flashing. What is the meaning of this symbology? And does the little M stand for? Is it for "masked". If I am right, why is it masked when I can clearly see the target on the TGP?
It is a lot of questions but I really want to understand. I do not find find clear answers in the manual.
Thanks and best regards,
Pierre
