baton_bb Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Hello! I have a two questions for You pilots (maybe stupid questions ...) about VIPER? 1. How to increased and decreased zoom in the Targeting pod (TGP) using the keyboard (which keys)? 2. How to fire the laser after bomb is away using the keyboard (which key)? I can`t do this and it`s make me crazy. Please help. Bets regards.
delevero Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 I only use the joystick 1). You have to search for the "pinky switch" this will zoom fast in/out when you press the button. Find it in the menu, and look what keyboard command to press on keyboard. 2). search for "gun" and you see two options. 1st detend gun trigger 2nd detend gun trigger In the settings you can to the left of the above read the keyboard command, and I am pretty sure its 1nd detend gun trigger and its keybaord SPACE button. ( its on the buttons try ;-) )

=OPS=Slider Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Yes it does. Arm the laser, TGP to SOI, then try to fire it. The "L" on the TGP screen should be flashing when firing. Btw, why didn't you ask on "our" forum, if you know what I mean. I believe you are registered there. P.S. Don't forget the TGP has to be in AREA/POINT TRACK. Edited October 5, 2019 by =OPS=Slider1709

Don't forget the TGP has to be in AREA/POINT TRACK. Thanks for help. I can get it now. I assigned a bad key for the "1st detend gun trigger" ("TAB"). When I have assigned "`" everything is working correctly. Yes indeed and sorry :) Yes I`m registered there :). Next time I firstly ask on "our" forum. Best regards.
Zohardv Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Actually, pinky switch only changes the FOV from WIDE to NARROW. The correct implementation of zoom is done with the ANT ELEV wheel (rotate it CW/CCW to zoom in/out), which I don't believe is modeled in DCS yet. Haven't tried it though, maybe try to bind keys to RADAR ANTENNA ELEVATION and use it to zoom in and out.

Haven't tried it though, maybe try to bind keys to RADAR ANTENNA ELEVATION and use it to zoom in and out. IIRC TGP zoom it's controlled by MAN RNG CW/CCW on throttle, not Antena Elevation. You can map CW and CCW on push buttons, works fine.
