Gnabbla Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 As the title says, TGP keeps track of moving target even when shadowed or outside gimbal limits. Once you regain visual again, it still is tracking fine. And I don't speak about a disruption of maybe a few second which might be plausible. More about like flying a complete 180 turn quite slowly (20 seconds plus) where the tgp is shadowed the whole time.
Harker Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 The TGP is capable of INR tracking, meaning it'll extrapolate the position of the target and "track it", even when it's masked. As long as the target keeps moving along the same direction, with the same speed, the TGP should be able to keep tracking it, even after some time.

Gnabbla Posted January 28, 2020 Author Posted January 28, 2020 Watch the attached track. I'm pretty sure it can't do that. In the beginning it takes some time for me to get a point track. maybe due to the range. Then I'm going to turn back to obscure the TGP FoV. After turning back it still tracks the moving tank quite well.tgp_obscured_tracking.trk

INR refers to the pod being able to remain more or less ground stabilized when masked, not extrapolating a moving target.

It should be able to kinda guess, but not perfectly. @Santi871 OK for the INR term, but can't the pod perform any kind of path extrapolation? I think this has been a thing in the Warthog as well, unless I'm mistaken. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted January 30, 2020 ED Team Posted January 30, 2020 Hi If the target is on the same track and speed the TPOD will try and maintain the lock. Thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?
