China Hat Forward Long TGP slaving to Steerpoint?

[bunraku]

Hi

 

I notice in the training bombing missions that I am being told to CHFL to slave the TGP to SPI. I haven't even got a SPI yet, as i've to designate a SPI from the range which is a Steerpoint The TGP slaves to the steerpoint. Now CHAL is Slave to Steerpoint not forward. So in the absence of a designated SPI is the TGP taking my Steerpoint as a SPI instead?

 

So if the above doesn't make sense the condensed version is why is CHFL slaving to a steerpoint?

 

Thanx

China Fwd long isn't slaving to a steer point, it's slaving to your SPI as the training mission says.

 

You always have a SPI/SPI generator. By default your SPI generator is the active steer point until you change it and TMS aft long set the SPI generator back to the active steer point again.

Thanks Eddie. Appreciated.

Bunraku, you can always check your current SPI by looking at the HUD lower left corner as STPT, TGP, TAD, TDC, IFFCC & MAV (haven't tried MAV as SPI but expect it can be done).

 

Cheers
