gdotts Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Need to get the target designation keystroke (keyboard) not the coolie hat stroke. I can through TGP move point around, zoom in and out but can't designate a target when found. Please advise Thanks
Dagger71 Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) TMS FWD long. It is Set/Create SPI (Sensor Point of Interest). It is similar to target designate but can do so much more and all systems can be slaved to this point. You should really read up on SOI and SPI as everything in the A10C evolves around this concept (Chuck's guide or manual). SOI is the sensor, and SPI is the point it creates.

gdotts Posted April 28, 2020 Author Posted April 28, 2020 So no keystrokes from the keyboard like: TGP slew up...: TGP slew down... . TGP slew left... , TGP slew right... / TGP zoom in... HOME TGP zoom out… END TGP target designate... ??? What if my HOTAS is a Thrustmaster T.FLIGHT HOTAS X ...No collie hat as in a Warthog stick & throttle. Therefore my need for keystroke for designate target. Any ideas??

Therefore my need for keystroke for designate target. Any ideas?? Look under TMS FWD LONG in the keymapper. I don't know how many 4 way switches there are on the T Flight but use modifiers to create more using the same switch. I did this back when I first started out with the 3D pro. You should really invest some time into trying to map out these 4 way buttons: TMS, DMS, Coolie. There are some good A10C Graphical HOTAS config charts to help. Each of the way way swiches could be either short or long and will vary their command depending on what sensor is SOI. Ex: TMS FWD short could either be Hook (TAD), Area/Pnt (TGP), Stabilize (HUD), Scan (aim9), Track (Mav) TMS FWD LONG however will always be Set SPI regardless of what is SOI. It seems very daunting at first but it is key to using the A10C effectively. Edited April 29, 2020 by Dagger71
Dagger71 Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 Chuck's guide page 4,5 and pages 45-50 will give you a good rundown of how the HOTAS works in the A10C. This is not an easy module. But one of the best once you get some of the basics down. Even after a flying it for a couple of years you will still learn some of the nuances of the systems.
