EvanWeeks Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Will we be able to get slant-range (while firing the laser) and weapons time-to-impact information on the TGP at some point? Also, will we get a north pointer / meter-stick option to measure distance on the ground for gauging ripple-distances on weapons, etc? One other thing I noticed in the video, isn't the laser supposed to fire to measure the slant-range constantly while the weapons-release button is held? *shrug* I could be wrong about that one. I know it's early access and such, I'm just curious what to expect. :) Thanks! Evan "Preacher" Weeks - Dad. Programmer. Virtual Fighter Pilot. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
greenmamba Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 We should also expect auto-lase function that can be set up through the dedicated DED page. But is early access, but I am very impressed with how many features this early access module comes with. Impressive !!
Deano87 Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Don't expect any TGP changes before release compared to what is shown in the video. We will undoubtably get all of those things you mention but further down the line.

EvanWeeks Posted October 2, 2019 Author Posted October 2, 2019 Hey, just to chime in here, I'm by no means knocking the fact that we actually HAVE the TGP in its current form. Happy to have it and cheering for it. I was just curious about those bits of useful functionality I didn't see. You may consider me perpetually happy about having an official DCS F-16, no matter its state. I've been hoping and wishing for one since I first heard about DCS as a simulation product, so just being here, with it going into early access tomorrow, is a dream come true.

ED Team cofcorpse Posted October 4, 2019 ED Team Posted October 4, 2019 Yes, these and others items will be added to improve TGP use later in EA.
VDV Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 TGP is great, but I noticed that slew is moving too fast, and its very difficult to put it into the target. Maybe wip still?
ED Team cofcorpse Posted October 4, 2019 ED Team Posted October 4, 2019 TGP is great, but I noticed that slew is moving too fast, and its very difficult to put it into the target. Maybe wip still? Are you using axis controls or keyboard?
VDV Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) Are you using axis controls or keyboard? I assigned four keys (for up, down, left and right) from my T.16000M FCS HOTAS for that. Or I need to use axis? Edited October 4, 2019 by VDV
ebabil Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 should we use an axis to zoom in and out with the tgp? can't it be made by buttons?

Ziramond Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I've had issues getting it to point/area track anything. Am i doing something wrong?
Deadpoetic6 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I've had issues getting it to point/area track anything. Am i doing something wrong? are you doing TMS up/down with TGP is SOI?
Ziramond Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 are you doing TMS up/down with TGP is SOI? Indeed.
