[LATER IN POD DEVELOPMENT] how can you slave the TGP to a steerpoint?

[nickos86]

Thanks

I'm guessing it's not implemented yet, but this is my work around for the moment.

 

Select your waypoint

Designate your waypoint as target "WPDSG" (so you can see the diamond on the hud)

With your TGP boresighted, move your velocity vector over the diamond (Cage/uncage button to boresight TGP)

Press TDC depress so your TGP look in that general area

Thanks, so the TGP is tied to the velocity vector, I was not sure of that. On the other hand, and I know it might not be implemented yet, but what is the quickest way to recenter the TGP? Anyone found a HOTAS Press for that?

Cage/uncage button on your hotas boresights TGP

Thanks a million! I've watched Wags video several times, thinking I missed something.

Are you for certain that slaving the pod to a steerpoint is still in development?

 

The work around is good though. Much appreciated.

which button i need to press to bring the coords in left DDI in TOO mode, like Wags do it in tutorial. As i heard, its a TDC down button, but when I press it, nothning happens, except I losing target.

Use TDC Depress

Easiest way I found how to slave to waypoint is once WP is WPDSG is to match the numbers IE if WP is -25 match TGP to that number and how many degrees off nose IE 20 off your course match the numbers, bit of a pain having no tgt designation on the HUD, unless I',m missing something

Heh, we used to do this in a certain other sim to use the HTS pod to line up Maverick shots on things that didn't justify using a HARM.

FYI, the FLIR SENSOR option is now implemented on the SA page. It displays the location the TPOD is pointing at as a box. So you can slew it around and you'll see where it points, on the map.

Since your designated TGT waypoint also shows on the map, you can get the TPOD reliably close this way and then fine tune.

Good point. I forgot to mention this.

 

Thanks
