Rate of slewing HUD TDC vs RDR TDC

[Razor18]

Hi Guys,

 

My TDC slew (axis) is assigned to the Warthog Throttle mini joystick axis.

 

I just fiddled with the AUTO bombing training, where after designating the target with the chain-and-ball, you are suppose to fine adjust your TGT designator diamond on the HUD. But the TDC rate of slew is so huge, no matter how smooth you try, the diamond will jump all over the place on the HUD.

 

But if I reduce axis curve saturation to 20 where HUD TGT diamond slew is manageable, then it is way to slow for the A/A radar cursor.

 

Any setting where I can define rate of slew individually for HUD and for the attack RDR? They are now on totally opposing ends of the scale...

 

Thx

Great post. I've thought this since day one. TDC on ddi is perfect... HUD? WAY, out of control, too fast.

Agreed, ED really need to fix this. It's been around forever and is just plain frustrating.

One way to solve this is use two different controls. I use that funny little nub on the TM Warthog throttle for slew on the radar attack screen. I use a hat on my VKB stick to slew Maverick Fs. I have not tried to slew anything on the HUD though.

I find the issue is the "nipple cursor" on the Warthog. After upgrading that mechanism I have zero issues with fine and precise movement.

I upgraded it as well (Deltasim slew), but the HUD is definitely still twitchy. It's much better than before, but compared to the same function on the F-16 for example, it's very sensitive.

The A10C has a slew rate option. I wonder why the Hornet never got one.

It's not about precision, it is about totally different slew rates on two displays using the same control. Did you have better results when you tried to slew TDC both on HUD and then on RDR?

Totally true, but in the A-10C there is not so dramatic difference between the two deafult slew rate either. It is not like one is "ten times" faster than the other...

Which upgrade? Just curious...

Replaces the Warthog's mini-stick on the throttle. It's pretty easy to install and honestly, it's such an improvement. I just don't understand why the Warthog doesn't come with something like that by default.

it's well worth upgrading @Razor18

Excellent upgrade. Well worth it.
