TGP not working correctly in A2G mode, looses track, cant be slewed

[prof_laser]

Latest open beta, no mods.

 

Trackfile attached.

 

In NAV mode, I can select the TGP on the right display, make it SOI, and slew it around using my slew-button of my TM Warthog HOTAS. Once I call up A2G mode, the area track is lost, and even when the TGP is SOI, I can't slew it anymore. It is now fixed relative to the aircraft.

Addendum: works correctly when selecting CCRP after switching to A2G mode. Track attached.

Hi Prof,

 

For slewing the pod around, you must be CCRP.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the quick response! If this is not documented (couldn't find it in the guide), then there is a bug in the documentation. (It's not obvious to me that this requires CCRP, and won't work in CCIP).

Actually, I talk about this in the video I did.

 

Thanks

[prof_laser]

Then my bad. Thanks for your great support!

I just went through the transcript of the TGP video. Couldn't find it. You just select CCRP, but you do not mention that it won't work in CCIP. (AFAICS)

Yeah, bunch of people confused by that, me included.

 

Read the manual (page 115), watched Wags' video multiple times and only figured it out today when reading forum.

 

The issue is the manual, really. It only mentions it at the very end in the laser chapter.

 

But this information should be provided on page 115 in the A2G chapter.
