HawgDawg4Life Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 China Hat Aft selecting LSS mode in TGP I posted this in another thread, which I will go find and delete, cuz I think its a bug, but the China Hat Aft switch, which is supposed to recenter the cursor in the TCP when you have it SOI, is toggling the LSS mode OBS. Doesnt matter if the TGP is on the left or right MFD. I cant recenter my TGP. HawgDawg4life of MSFlights.net [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgDawg4Life Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Some of the HOTAS commands have changed (check out the new manual in the A-10C_2 Docs folder). There is no more TGP boresight command, unless you turn the TGP to standby then back to A-G. Thank you, I will check.

Frederf Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 It's not supposed to center the TGP. It is supposed to engage LSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgDawg4Life Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 It's not supposed to center the TGP. It is supposed to engage LSS. Ok, but as a long time A-10C enthusist, historically speaking, this is how the TGP was re-caged and brought to center. If it was wrong up to now, I get that, but I have been searching for a way to re-center the cursor in the TGP in the manual, and cant seem to find one.

scopewizard Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I tend to agree with HawgDawg4 Life; why have they changed the way to recentre the TGP? Furthermore DutchJackal which standby are you referring to? In any case the manual should provide guidance on how to recentre the TGP. I am sure it will be included at next update!

scopewizard Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I tend to agree with HawgDawg4Life that we need a solution to recentre the TGP. I wonder why this has changed. What is meant by going stanby then AG on again? Hopefully the manual will be updated soon with a work around!:helpsmilie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted how we should be able to do it in another thread and it’s been reported internally. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4508377&postcount=40 It's "correct as is" for HOTAS commands but we should be able to boresight by pressing "B-S" (OSB 5) when in A-G or A-A modes but it isn't an option that ED has included in the TGP.

saa Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 In addition to STBY to A-G, A-A to A-G will also re-center the TGP with the additional benefit that the TGP will remain SOI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziptie Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 How do i reset the TGP to borsight/hud if i don't want it locked to a steerpoint or spi? :helpsmilie: There are numerous posts about this already. Currently you need to either cycle the TGP back to standby via OSB on TGP display and then back to AG - or cycle to AA and then back to TGP. This is correct behavior according to SME(s), however there will be a BS function incoming for the TGP display to re cage to bore sight.

Sr. Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) For anyone using the X-56 and the programming software. I made a macro to quickly set the TGP back to boresight. 1. assigned a KB key to Left MFCD OSB 2 & 3 (assuming you work with the TGP on the left MFCD) in my case I reassigned Q/W since I don't actually use those KB commands. 2. Assuming H is your KB stroke for HOTAS Coolie Switch Left 3.Open the Logitech app to programming, selected the throttle, chose button "E' on the throttle Create macro, W,Q H (assuming you START in TGP, AG mode and SOI), Set a quantize time of about 0.75 or use the delay to suit.

nessuno0505 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 If it's correct as is it's ok, I do not want fictional functions; if there's a mfcd osb to boresight the tgp in the real airplane, let's hope ED implement this as soon as possible.

Wrench Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I'll throw my two cents in and say that if that's how the real plane works I'm all for it. I'm not particularly against having it as an option, but it'll sit unused in my personal settings menu. Carrier Script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessuno0505 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 As Snoopy said, in the real airplane there's a mfcd osb with that function, currently not implemented in the simulation. It has been asked to add It, let's hope ED decides to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziptie Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Source, please. :) All it takes is searching the forum sir. But I’ll do the work for you, don’t worry.... Snoopy has informed mods, who have in turn, informed/reported devs - to the existence of a BS OSB function when the TGP is displayed, which will return the TGP to bore sight. As a matter of fact, just two pages prior to this, one to your post, you can find the information your are looking for - specifically referenced in post #58.

ac5 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 You don't need a special HOTAS command to boresigth the TGP. Do you want your TGP to look forward? easy, just look forward and press DMS right long. The TGP will look where you are looking. There you have it boresighted. I understand that after so many years it is hard to change muscle memory but in a few days you will see it is just better in every way. "just look forward and press DMS right long" This does NOTHING.....???

Ziptie Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) "just look forward and press DMS right long" This does NOTHING.....??? With HMCS SOI, it slaves the TGP to the HMCS LOS (make sure to CHAS with HMCS SOI prior to DMRL). Might even be possible to slave it to HMCS LOS without HMCS SOI, but I've never tried it that. EDIT - This will not actually "boresight" the TGP, it will focus the TGP at that point, and possible that once you've reached that area - the TGP will rotate to continue tracking that point in "space."
