Hi guys,
Since the introduction of the TPOD i've noticed, along with some other people i've flew with since its release that the radar in an air to air environment is having difficulty.
You find the target on the radar, slew the TDC over it and press. This does what I call the stage 1 lock. Now before the TPOD release you had to depress again to get a hard lock and fire your weapons. Pretty standard stuff that all hornet players know right?
Since the update though this seems to be temperamental now. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. You can do the stage 1 lock ok but when you hit the TDC button again the lock is lost totally and you have to try again. Sometimes it takes 3/4 attempts, sometimes it works straight away. It can even fail all together and you're merged andh having to use the boresight etc to lock a target.
You can see this occuring at 1min in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nUtX-vHzNA&list=PLVBfEDII8LeDvqeUaG5cBkQ2_LxwoT43G&index=9
