maxTRX Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 No problem handing off a mover from GMT track to IrMav. No reason Tpod can't do the same:no_sad: Hopefully soon?
Tholozor Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 So what's the bug supposed to be here? If I make a Fixed Target Track designation on the radar the TGP follows it just fine for me.

Jak525 Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 The bug is that the designation currently won't move in FLIR Point Track. As such the Maverick is not slaved to its constantly updated line of sight.
Tholozor Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 I believe that was already reported: https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/english/digital-combat-simulator/dcs-f-a-18c-hornet/bugs-aa/7136807-already-reported-ptrk-does-not-update-target-position REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/

I just wanted to share the this short clip here since I was nicely surprised with the radar handoff... just in case some folks missed it.
Harker Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 Yep, FTT works nicely right now and the designation updates correctly. I've even been able to lock up and track a low and slow helicopter (I knew it was there, otherwise it's almost impossible to tell apart from the terrain. Just wanted to test it out). As for the PTRK updating the designation, how will that work with respect to returning to the original designation point? Now, exiting from PTRK back to INS returns the pod to the designation. Is there some other Cursor Zero type of logic or will we have to always undesignate and use WPDSG to slave to a WP or MK? The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs.

I know, we don't have the GMT mode yet but the target was moving. I'm not familiar with the Litening pod but judging by ED implementation, whether it's correct or not... it sucks;)
Recluse Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 So, when you have an FTT TRK, you can switch to FLIR and watch the target being tracked, but the symbology is only the DIAMOND track not the POINT TRACK. When you move to the MAV-F page, you can see RDR in the HUD indicating that is what the MAV-F is slaved to. Despite the fact that the TPOD is also tracking the Designated Target, the MAV handoff is via RADAR in this case. True we do not have GMT or SEA mode which will break out the MOVERS, for targetting, but we can get the FTT track if a MOVER gets selected with SCS RIGHT on the radar. I have only managed to do this with ships or boats as I have not been able to break out small moving targets with the RADAR in MAP or EXP modes. As posted in the similar BUG thread, I could get a good handoff from FTT on a boat to MAV, but the MAV-F had a great deal of trouble actually locking, but it did track once off the rails.
