WH Solution for F-18C AGM65F Slew

[Davee]

Here is a method I am using with my WH Throttle to enable one finger slewing of the AGM-65F - NOT having to hold a second TDC button to enable it.

 

I have essentially built the TDC press into the slew control using a modal rocker switch.

 

This is using TARGET SCRIPT.

 

First, I enabled the thumb rocker modal switch Down/Back so it selects AG mode and the built-in slew/TDC control for the MAV only works in this mode. If you switch the rocker to Middle it reverts to NAV and UP/Forward gives you A/A mode regular RADAR slew wherein you have to press your already programmed TDC to lock a radar target.

//BOATSWITCH//

MapKey(&Throttle, BSF, PULSE+'1'); //AA Master Mode

MapKeyR(&Throttle, BSF, PULSE+'1'); //NAV Mode

//MapKey(&Throttle, BSM, PULSE+'c'); //Not Assigned

MapKey(&Throttle, BSB, PULSE+'2'); //AG Master Mode

MapKeyR(&Throttle, BSB, PULSE+'2'); //NAV Mode

I use the CSU index finger hat on the throttle for slewing

//RADAR MANAGEMENT CURSER with auto TDC Press for AGM-65F//

MapKeyUMD(&Throttle, CSU, ';', ';', CHAIN(ENT, ';')); //Cursor Up plus TDC on

MapKeyRUMD(&Throttle, CSU, 0, 0, ENT); //TDC Release

MapKeyUMD(&Throttle, CSD, '.', '.', CHAIN(ENT, '.')); //Cursor Dn plus TDC on

MapKeyRUMD(&Throttle, CSD, 0, 0, ENT); //TDC Release

MapKeyUMD(&Throttle, CSL, ',', ',', CHAIN(ENT, ',')); //Cursor Left plus TDC on

MapKeyRUMD(&Throttle, CSL, 0, 0, ENT); //TDC Release

MapKeyUMD(&Throttle, CSR, '/', '/', CHAIN(ENT, '/')); //Cursor Right plus TDC on

MapKeyRUMD(&Throttle, CSR, 0, 0, ENT); //TDC Release

 

 

I already have my TDC mapped to the Throttle SC button. (I use the button only on the SC for RADAR tgt lock). I find it easy to use my left index finger for slewing and my left middle finger for lock/unlocking the RADAR target.

 

//TARGET LOCK TDC//

MapKey(&Throttle, SC, ENT); //Radar Lock/Unlock

 

For me, it has been working flawlessly and very easy to become familiar with.

I hope it works for someone else using TM Target Script.
