Just practice with the TPOD. You can move it around in area mode and track targets that way. It's tough, but possible. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Have a weapon selected view the ACP or on the MFD in AG mode Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

It gives you all the options on the ACP except on the ODU instead. Keeps you from being SO heads down. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

That's the Engine Fast Deceleration Solenoid, pretty sure it's not modeled yet. So you wouldn't hear it as the engine won't decelerate fast enough anyway. 2.3.1.3 Engine Fast Deceleration Solenoid To avoid aircraft bounce on vertical landing,DECS incorporates a fast deceleration solenoid that is armed for 1 second by the weight on wheels (WOW) switch. A rapid throttle chop will activate the fast deceleration system and immediately reduce fuel flow. For aircraft with IPPC--227 incorporated, the engine fast deceleration solenoid is disabled.

BoxxMann's Tips - Adjust Seat/Eyepoint with VR

Question Friend, Does this save between program launches? Or just the time you're in the sim and you save it? -

Hmmm... Well if you're the ball, someone has removed you needing to be the wind. Then then you need to be the wind, you don't need to be the ball. Boom. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Anyone else having problems with release intervals?

Haha. I didn't get it either. But maybe, if I line up just right, I can bomb those two buildings 1.5 miles away from each other Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -

Have you tested your theory? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -
Your ground track does not change whether it is referenced in true or magnetic headings. You are going towards where you are going (batumi tacan in the picture). The only thing that changes is the heading on a compass. Ramsay said that picture is taken with no wind, his ground track is not pointing to the tacan. So the ground track indicator is not indicating his ground track. That's the problem. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

That's not true. Just look at the armament control panel. The digits are multipled by 10 Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk -
I hear you, you are mistaken on how you think this works. I'll let the manual speak then. 23.9.34 TRUE Pushbutton (TAV--8B with H4.0 and Radar and Night Attack Aircraft) When selected the system uses true heading to compute the orientation of the compass rose, aircraft symbol, ground track pointer, map heading and bearing to waypoint, offset or TACAN station. The selection of true or magnetic also affects the display of TACAN, waypoint, and markpoint offset bearing, targetpoint terminal heading and pattern heading, and radar BRAA (bearing, range, altitude, aspect) and cursor data block displays. A T legend appears in place of lubber line and also a Tappears above heading display onHUDto indicate true heading display.WhenTRUE legend is boxed true heading is enabled, else magnetic heading is enabled. Selection of TRUE is NOT independent for each MAPM. Selecting TRUE on any MAPM affects all displays. 23.9.26 EHSI Pushbutton (TAV--8B with H4.0 and Radar and Night Attack Aircraft) Selecting map menu (MAPM) on the centered or decentered EHSD display, any DATA display, or the EWM (with H4.0) display enables the EHSI pushbutton legend. Selection of EHSI is independent for eachMAPM. Pressing this pushbutton on the Center, Decenter, or EW MAPM enables display of the compass rose, lubber line and T legend, ground track pointer, waypoint and waypoint offset, TACAN and TACAN offset and target (with H4.0) bearing pointers on the Center, Decenter and EWpage. Pressing this pushbutton on the WYPT or TCNDataMAPMenables display of the compass rose, lubber line and T legend, and aircraft symbol on the WYPT and TCN Data pages. Pressing this pushbutton on the A/C DataMAPMenables display of the compass rose, and lubber line and T legend on the A/C Data pages. When enabled the EHSI legend is boxed. 23.9.7 Ground Track (Digital Readout) and Ground Track Pointer This pointer indicates the aircraft true ground track. On Radar and Night Attack aircraft ground track is also a digital readout. Trainer aircraft with H4.0 have a digital readout of ground track as well. Works the same way as this: Should be familiar to you.

Ok, so you're missing what I'm saying. NATOPS manuals use specific terms for specific things. "True ground track" does not mean the same as "degrees true." "True ground track" means your "[actual] ground track" I will call your attention to the word track also. Which references the actual path over the ground. (Notice how track and tracking are used here) What is the use for this? Two simple examples: "Blazer 222, turn left heading 270" Here you turn until your magnetic heading is 270, regardless of your ground track. In this instance the control will make any corrections for cross track error. Such as in a precision approach radar approach, or under positive radar control. "Blazer 222, proceed direct the Demming VORTAC" In this instance the control wants you to track directly to the VORTAC, not home it, track it. While this can admittedly be done with magnetic headings and the needle, the ground track indicator gives you a direct indication of how to do that. In this case you place your ground track indicator directly underneath the tacan triangle on the EHSD. Further, the system allows you to change the reference heading system in the press of two buttons, in which case all headings are displayed in true. What changes there is the heading on the compass, not your ground track. Ask yourself, what is more useful information to the pilot, a conversion to degrees true, or his actual ground track? The purpose of the video I linked was to show why you'd have both indications on the display. I'm not asking if the system is incorrect. I know it's not. I can further explain should I need to.

Negative. "True ground track" does not mean down in degrees true. It means where the aircraft is actually flying. Meaning of I'm flying in no wind, and my jet isn't bent, I will be pointing 090* and tracking 090* both magnetic. If I've got a stuff crosswind I could be pointing 090* and flying 085* both magnetic. The point of this gets to homing vs tracking. Watch this it explains it Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

You are correct there, haha I 100% agree with you I'll try it out and report back. Thanks, something like that is exactly what I was hoping for!
