TGP on random server

[Bisch]

Hi, I failed to drop the GBUs in CCRP 3 times on random servers although watching several videos. They were mostly dumbfired or not released at all. Also, I never could use the CCCRP Pipper in HUD when SOId to HUD. Often enough even the falling line didn’t move when slewing the TGP.

Then I tried the original SP AG mission for the F16 and it instantly worked.

Are there (still) issues like „WP needed“ it sth like this?

 

Also, would you recommend using the default Warthog profile? I just remapped the Stick Pinkie because I always use it as a modifier. Just want to know if I miss out sth important this way. (TDC is modded)

Currently, you still need a waypoint for CCRP releases. It will still slew around as you slew the TGP. There's a newer issue where if you switch to another WP while in A/G CCRP mode, that next WP will merge with the TGP point, so with the previous WP; you can't switch WPs and have the TGP jump to each location. It's a reported bug.

Other than that, make sure that you turned on your laser and are firing it with the 1st trigger detent on the stick.

As for the pinky switch, it's used to toggle the FOV of the TGP and the Maverick between zoom and normal and toggle the FCR and HSD between normal and EXP (zoomed) view. In GM mode of the FCR, it'll also go through DBS1 and DBS2, after EXP. I guess you can bind it to something else, it's not critical to have quick access to, it's just so you can easily manipulate the displays without taking your hands off the stick.

Thank you very much Harker! Yes, I mapped the FOV to the throttle pinkie which was unused afaik.

 

DonI need to set a WP in my F16 then or is it required to be done by mission maker? I thought the slewed TGP Piper generates a WP. At least I have seen in a Video that it overwrites existing WPs

[Harker]

It can overwrite existing WPs, but it still needs at least one WP to exist to start with. The mission maker needs to place one.

Thanks for clarification! So I know why I wasted so many hours.

I give it up for now and will finally learn the viggen which is in my hangar for sooo long.

It always works in the Nevada GBU instant action mission but on no MP server. I was on several and they all had WPs. Most of the time I couldn’t mover the piper after SOIing to HUD. I even had more strange moments: once I even couldn’t fire in even ccip only. When pressing weapon release I got a falling line in HUD but no bomb was dropped. At the same time I instantly dropped bombs when I was in CCRP. However, several times I had a lock via MFD but no gbu was released when Counter went to zero and weapon release was pressed. In all cases I checked master arm, laser, Hard Point Energy.

 

I don’t get it as others seem to almost have no problems
