Target Base axis?

[Skligmund]

Been fiddling around with the controls, saw "Target Base" as a programmable axis for the Mig-29A. What is this? Nobody seems to know, and I haven't been able to figure it out.

 

Thanks!

Isn't it how big the expected target ('s return) is ?

I see keyboard commands for "Target Specified Size" increase and decrease, not sure if that is the same?

Thanks!

If you are referring to "Target Specified Size: Increase/Decrease" (RAlt+- or =), that is the same as Expected Target Distance when using missiles. The difference is that Expected Target Distance increases/ decreases in units of 5 whereas the former increases/decreases in units of 1.

 

Target Specified Size, however, should actually set the expected target size. EDIT: That is what it does when you select the gun funnel. THe funnel width expands and contracts. Wider for large size targets, narrower for small.

Okay, thank you!

 

I just confirmed the programmable axis "Target Base" is the same as "Target Specified Size"

 

I guess it is just the difference in naming convention that started the confusion. I have an extra slider on my TekCreations F-16 ICP that I programmed to Target Base, works great!
