[CORRECT AS IS] TGP boresight

[mlb406]

Hi, loving the upgraded A-10.

 

Just been on a training mission to try out the new stuff and found that whereas previously I could recage my TGP to boresight with China Hat Aft Short when TGP is SOI, this now operates the LSS function - I think this has changed since the previous version, although I could just be getting my muscle memory confused :huh:

 

Many thanks

[CORRECT AS IS] TGP boresight

 

I seem to not be able to recenter my tgp, it use to be chin hat aft. but now it seems to be laser search. anyone else having that issue?

Same problem !

[llOPPOTATOll]

The Hotas commands have changed China switch aft is no longer boresight TGP

The hotas commands have change and china hat aft is no longer boresight tgp.

hopefully it's an oversight. as a workaround you can reset the TGP by switching it to STBY mode

Its not an oversight its written in the DCS manual and the A-10C-1 manual.

So how do you boresight it now?

[NineLine]

There is no bore sight command based on our docs. Thanks.

Did this change for the regular A-10C too? Neat.

TGP not resetting with China Hat Aft

 

As per title, China Hat Aft short is not resetting the TGP, instead it starts LSS.

 

Steps to reproduce:

1- Make sure China Hat Aft is mapped in the controls

2- Move the TGP around

3- Press China Hat Aft Short

 

expected: TGP should reset to boresight mode

actual: TGP goes in LSS mode

There is no boresight mode, no bug.

They recieved feedback from an SME that this is not a thing in the real aircraft. Its not a bug, its a feature.

STBY then back to AG set it in boresight.

[NineLine]

STBY then back to AG set it in boresight.

 

Correct, as there is no HOTAS function now

Mark points chinahat

 

if I create several markpoints A, B, C, D I cannot enslave the TGP in these mark with chinahat aft long. How does it work now?

No, it's the same as it was for old A-10C.

Hi

 

Please take a look at Wags video he explains the markpoints

 

 

 

thanks

So to clarify, to put the TGP back to boresight, you need to set the TGP back to standby and then back to A/G mode. Correct? Seems cumbersome compared to prior, but if it's accurate that is all that really matters.

On the previous version of A-10C the boresight function of TGP was mainly used to reset Gimbal Roll. On this new version it seems that the Gimbal Roll is reseted automatically. I made some quick test and when you lock a target the TGP come back to a centered position before locking SPI. May be I'm wrong but this is what I noticed. In this case reset TGP to boresight is less important.

I will do more test tomorrow...

Funny how the F-18 wants to always boresight (having to undesignate) for most things, and now the A-10 doesn't want to *facepalm*

TGP boresight

 

how to bring the tgp back to center. like in the A10C which is china hat aft short?

[Zarma]

STBY back to AG. China hat aft short is LSS now.

The Viper says hold my beer and watch this.

Yeah I've found no way to put the TGP back to boresight after ground stabilizing it / slewing it. Really not a big deal, as I don't think putting it back to boresight is really a super useful tool - just muscle memory at this point, and now that muscle memory takes you to a laser spot search.
