Hi,
I am struggling with the nav mode currently. After full INS alignment, ie quality of 10 and switching to Nav. before I start the alignment I do enter the Long Lat and Elevation on the INS DED page and hit Enter, I cant get the waypoint distance to show on the HUD and on the mini HSI I continue to see the red ribbons in NAV (they disappear in Tacan)
I repeated this several times and repeated startup procedures to the letter. Is this an issue with the latest beta? or am I doing something wrong?

Well yes there is. As of 2.7.1 "TDC cursor added for EXP mode." So you still have the issue of the two cursors that would be competing.
Disregard. I just test for my self.
I now understand what you are saying, however I think it's reasonable that there is a TDC cursor missing in the selected EXP mode for search. I highly highly doubt that there's no TDC cursor there as you can't to anything with the format now until you designate or undesignate something. You would expect the same logic to carry through.
It could be that the logic really is correct as ED has tagged, but is still missing a TDC cursor for that sub-mode.
I will start my own thread specifically with this inquiry and see what response I get.

I am glad you got our point now. Thanks!

It is impossible. This A/G radar format does not act like any of the others. Did you read my previous post? Here, I'll simplify it for you. The A/G radar has two cursors. All the other formats have one. With realistic TDC slew you are required to depress the TDC and then slew, to change the position of that same cursor. Now, with realistic TDC slew disabled you can still move the yellow TDC cursor on the attack format.(do I have that right?)
But to access the radar acquisition cursor you must hold TDC depress so the system knows that you want to change the position of cursor two. It's impossible for the system/sim to know which you want to slew so it requires you to tell it.

I hope you are serious and you are not trolling. I will try to answer one more time.
The AG radar cursor in MAP/GMT/SEA AG modes works FINE with Warthog if the realstic box is unchecked. So I do not know what you are talking about. What does not work is the the trapezoidal area in EXP mode. That's all! There is absolutely no reason that the cursor moves in MAP/GMT/SEA AG modes but NOT in EXPx modes.

It is NOT impossible. All the other implementation are working exactly like that. Example slewing the Mac, AA radar, TGP... It is mind boggling how you can't understand basic language! You don't have to reply to post if you don't understand. It's as easy as that, it avoids you embarrassmentNo I don't have the hardware, but I have the same limitation. Not being able to depress the TDC and slew it at the same time. There's a reason I don't use the "proper" TDC depress location on the slew stick.

Read the thread and you will see people including me explaining that there is a hardware limitation known by ED. In fact Wags did a video about it and showed the new realistic tdc slew control Option that can be disabled so people who won Warthog throttles can slew the radar, the mavs, and all other cursors. This feature works for everything except for the EXP modes. ED should fix that. I don't know what's your problem with this request !No where was a hardware limitation mentioned here. Can you not just bind depress to something else? You can bind multiple controls to the same function. Just add an additional depress option for TDC depress for the times you want to use the A/G radar for now. It's not that it's unusable, it's just that the TDC behavior requirement doesn't match the setting. You can still use the A/G radar if you try.

Seriously? There must be something wrong with your understanding. If you use warthog, you CANT depress the the tdc nipple and slew it. It is a hardware limitation ! That's why ED added the unrealistic behavior possibility which work for everything EXCEPT the EXP modes. If you can't understand plain text, I'm afraid I can't do anything for you.

Would you have the courtesy to read before you post?You can use the A/G radar if you try...
If you can't slew it with the way you bound your controls and want to use that feature, you should change it. You're making it sound like the A/G radar is broken for Whathog users, which is not true. I'll need to adapt my setup when/if we get the rest of the HOTAS functions where SCS depress is used at a modifier for the castle switch. Yes, ED should make the realistic TDC behavior toggle-able for the A/G radar too, but it's not like you physical can not use it, it just that it's a slight inconvenience.

The issue is not with the AG radar in map mode. It is with EXP1 2 and 3 modes. Test it and you will see that the EXP area DOESNT NOT move as intended if you have the realistic behavior unchecked! Jesus!

The issue has not been fixed. I dont understand why we dont get any communication from ED about this...

Realistic TDC slew checked or unchecked?
Your last statement is confusing.
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
Sorry for the confusion. But the point is whether you check it or uncheck it, it has no effect on the behavior of the TDC in EXP modes. It works well though for MAVs, TGP, AA and AG Radar (other than in EXP modes)

For the A/G radar you use SCS in the direction of the display for designation/locking GMT/SEA targets rather than TDC depress.

I think you misunderstood. it is not about how to lock, it is about how to move the EXP1 2 and 3 areas. It doesnt work if you have the unrealistic behavior checked.

Thanks Bignewy. Should pressing AUTO select the first waypoint in a sequence or should it increment from the current manually selected waypoint?
Thanks!
-
Will the auto waypoint be corrected with the new CPL mode? The bug was present since the Auto function was introduced 3 years ago.
Here is how you activate the bug:
Method 1
1. Use Auto mode for some waypoints, example from 0 to 2
2. Switch back to manual incrementation and increment a few points, example from 2 to 4
3. Go back to auto mode, you would think that the auto mode will take over and increment from 4 to 5 to 6 etc... Unfortunately, it will increment from 2 where the auto left off
Method 2
1. Increment manually to any way point other than initial
2. enable Auto, you would expect that it starts increment from the current way point, but it doesn't
Thanks!

If it is working correctly then they should change the text to “Realistic maverick tdc slew” as it only covers that one specific thing. Pretty bad user experience if that’s the case in my opinion.
no, it obviously doesnt work as it should but it is sad that they dont even care to answer and acknowledge it.
-
@BIGNEWYany feedback on this issue? Could you guys acknowledge that this is an issue?

Bignewy responded to the old thread for all that care, Still not much of a solution but at least they are apparently looking into it!
He never said they are looking at it. All what they do is to mark the thread as correct as is. Very frustrating...

I have checked again today, all seems to behave as it should for me. I have asked other testers to check also.
What? How? Did you uncheck the realistic cursor option and you got it to work? For me and many others it just doesnt. I wish I would use the realistic moode, but Warthog throttle just cant do it, you cant slew and press. That's is why back in the days you added the option to not have to press to slew the cursor. It works with the TGP, with Air to Air Radar, with Ground Radar except in EXP modes...
Please fix it.

Hello , until last update I was often [ not always] able to deliver 3 to 4 AGM 65-Fs on 4 moving targets in good and bad weather in one run ,using slewing in PTRK ,when using AGM 65-E I had to lase during the hole flighttime for that weapon but when lasing was not correct folowing the target I was able to slew the laser back on that target,only one AGM 65-E per run, this kind of operation was only possible because I was able to use slewing in ATRK and PTRK with automatic Lockon on moving targets when in range and in picture contrast and designated.The last Update gave us precise target position ,target range and attitude info in screen but Hopefully that slewing in PTRK comes back ASAP!
This is a valid complaint. Please report it to Boeing. Indeed, it could be better implemented...
-
This is what I was doing as a work around last night. If I have it in a track mode and cant slew, rather than have to undesignate and find the same area again, just SCS right a couple of times and it seems to come out of the track mode and let you slew again.
it is not a workaround, it looks like that's how it works in the real life.

Dear Tom,
You are quite correct. This is the rather coarse MAP (real beam mapping) mode. Later, EXP1, EX2, and EXP3 sub-modes will be added with increasing beam resolution.
For MAP mode, it is useful for large geographic features.
Thank you and kind regards,
Matt
thanks Wags!

In such a state it is nothing exciting, it is not suitable for anything. Only such a novelty that something is already there. But this is undoubtedly a step forward. It is a pity that TWS still has so many problems.
step by step man. Before we get the advanced targeting stuff, we have to get this Mapping functionality. They could have kept it in the oven until they get the EXPx modes, but that would be a pity.
I am happy to have this map function. it gives me confidence that in the comming weeks or months, we can see the ground radar complete.
-
In the movies I see A / G radar, but I don't see any targets on the radar, ship or anything else.
before we get EXP1 and EXP2 the radar is only for mapping. you wont see any target with it.
-
huge update! I havent been excited about an update since the TWS introduction!
-
What about TDC box? Isn't it part of the TGP completion. There was no word about it in the last mini update.
Nav mode not properly working after full INS alignment

found the issue. the confirmation of the initial coordinates must be done AFTER the INS alignment starts, not before
