jimmywa3 Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 Has anyone figured out how to get the TGP to track a JTAC lased target? I read in another thread to use the uncage button while the TGP is soi. I am in NAV mode, with the TGP in area track in the general area where the lased target is, hit the uncage button, nothing, no indication that the TGP has picked up the lased target, or even looking for it, the JTAC is lasing on 1688, and my TGP screen says 1688 LSS.
EvanWeeks Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 I, too, am interested in this one. I haven't gotten it to work. Evan "Preacher" Weeks - Dad. Programmer. Virtual Fighter Pilot. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
KidCharlemagne Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 Sounds like you have the procedure correct. Slew the TGP toward where you think the laser should be and uncage the TGP. You'll know it's searching because the TGP screen will freeze but a white dot will be circling the indicator, showing the azimuth on which the TGP is searching for the laser. Once it finds it, you'll see the TGP screen update with the designated target in view.
jimmywa3 Posted November 5, 2019 Author Posted November 5, 2019 Thanks for the replies guys, anyone else out there having any luck getting it to work?
ViKe Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 We tried it and the person hosting the server catches the laser. The ones connecting cant grab the laser.

Thanks for testing it. Did you guys submit a bug report? New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

jimmywa3 Posted November 6, 2019 Author Posted November 6, 2019 My initial question at the top of the thread, single player, JTAC lasing...still can't the the TGP to lock up on a lased target. My LGB's hit the lased target no problem there, just can't the TGP to recognize a lased target.
ED Team Raptor9 Posted November 6, 2019 ED Team Posted November 6, 2019 I've had no issues with singleplayer LSS cueing to a JTAC laser designation, but I've only ever done it in air-to-ground mode. SOI to TGP, uncage button, TGP video freezes while LSS is boxed on screen and the TGP dot scans left and right within a 180 degree arc from where the TGP was pointed when the uncage button was pressed. It takes a few moments, then the dot will deviate from it's arc, stop, and 1 or 2 seconds later the TGP video unfreezes and the TGP is locked on to a point with a giant crosshair superimposed on the entire TGP video screen. Press uncage again to return to manual track, sweeten the aimpoint, engage. Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man. DCS Rotor-Head
jimmywa3 Posted November 6, 2019 Author Posted November 6, 2019 Thank you Raptor9, yes, that was it, I had to be in AG mode for the TGP to scan for and pick up the JTAC designated laser, it will not do it if you are in NAV mode.
Makempay Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Here I did a video tutorial for TGP LSS Hope you guys enjoy.
jimmywa3 Posted November 7, 2019 Author Posted November 7, 2019 Thanks Makempay, outstanding video, much appreciate that.
