Question about TPOD

I agree. The TPOD HUD Carrot not slaving to the INS designation is a PITA.... PITA PITA PITA ... and I don't mean the bread.

 

There is a somewhat bothersome workaround, and before any idiots start going crazy, I'm not asking for it to not be fixed, nor saying that it doesn't matter, I'm explaining a work-around. Take it, or leave it, I don't care, so don't tell me about how you don't like it, or how it's not a fix.

 

- Select EHSD on the left MPCD.

- Have your target-waypoint selected.

- Select DSGT (OSB 1) to box DSGT, which puts the diamond over the target-waypoint on the HUD.

- When you are within about 20 NM from the waypoint, press DATA (OSB 2), TDC is now slewing the diamond on the EHSD (which will not immediately be visible, bc it's in the air), but you should see your target-waypoint on the EHSD (circle with a dot in the center).

- Slew the diamond to over the circle until their dots are merged, and the diamond on the HUD will be exactly over the target-waypoint in the HUD.

- Press [DATA] (OSB 2) to un-box it.

 

Carry on your mission.

So your slewing tpod to diamond on moving map? That’s a good idea

:cry_2:

 

:furious:

 

:badmood:

 

But good work around.

 

:P

 

 

God, I feel so manipulated....

One other "put the thing on the thing" work around I use:

If you are approaching the target area, lets say 10-15 miles and you are high enough to "see" the target area. Use DESG to get the target designated in A/G mode (diamond on hud). then "fly" the TGP box onto/into the diamond, and slew the pod one direction a tiny bit, and you are basically locked dead on. This only works if there is no occlusion between you and the target, otherwise the pod locks onto whatever ground is in-between you and the waypoint.

TPOD Slave mode needs rework. I don't have enough time to do that at this moment since I am working on finishing the INS.

 

This is how developers communicate. They can state that something needs fixing, but they don't have time because they have other part to finish.

 

Doesn't show anything else than dedication and understandable priorities.

This is what I do. It's about as good as I can think of.

 

I don't know how the real plane works. I just find it difficult to understand how it's so unintuitive compared to the A-10C. I'm wary of complaining of something with no reference to the real thing, but something in me nags that there's so many issues with how the sensors work as if designed with no thought at all for usability that gets me suspicious that there's things not working as they should, in unreasonably complex or odd ways.

Hello fellow Harrier drivers,

 

A question, now it is possible to designate a waypoint as a target point, and when active, the DMT directly looks at this target point. Is it possible to do the same with the TPOD, to make it look directly to my target point when it's out of standby mode ?

 

SIMPLE NO IT IS NOT POSSIBLE. THE TPOD IS ONE BIG BUG HANGING UNDER YOUR PLANE.

Yes.

Press DSEG on the EHSD page.

No.

 

It's a bug, initially (STBY --> STBY) in Slave mode, the TPOD should slave to the designated target point, if one exists i.e. via EHSD, DMT-TV, DMT-LST, etc.

 

The TPOD can then 'sweeten' the target point i.e. TDC slew will update/move the target point, while the TPOD is slaved/linked to it.

 

In DCS, the correct TP co-ordinates appear, but the TPOD remains bore sighted rather than performing the initial slew to the target point.

 

The Slave bug has been reported and there's been some work done (it was reported as fixed) but it's obviously WIP as the TPOD fails to perform the initial sensor slew to the target point.
