Slew TGP to HMD target

[sirrah]

So sorry if mentioned or asked before. Still having issues with the forum search function here.

 

Is it possible yet to automatically slew my tgp to the designated point in my HMD? Or is this part still WIP?

 

If possible, what's the correct procedure (or hotas control)?

It's possible, you just need to have your tgp on one mfd, go SCS up to assign SOI to hud/jhmcs and then go tdc depress on any location and the tgp will be slaved to that point.

Its important to make sure hud/hmd are SOI which you will know if you see a point inside the VV on the hud or a reticle on your jhmcs.

Where I had problems latest patch and its maybe a bug are with successive designation after the first one, I think in principle weapon undesignate should cancel the designation and let you designate another one, but sometimes it does not work correctly if you have some weapon selected like a jdam (my experience)

Note: forgot to explain that after the designation I think is necessary to assign SOI to the tgp and designate again to ground stabilize otherwise last time I check the target started to drift away with your maneuvers, maybe it is corrected on latest patch

I tried this today, but couldn't get it to work.

 

What I did (due to mission requirements- Raven One mission 10):

1. Activated topd
2. Slewed tpod to target
3. Received another task in the mission
4. Activated hmcs
5. Made hmcs SOI
6. Slewed the cursor in my hmcs over the target and did tdc depress
7. (My tgp didn't respond and was still pointing to my initial target)
8. Made tgp SOI and did tdc depress
9. (no change )

 

Also tried undesignate in hmcs and depress over target

(result: target designation cursor appeared in hud, but tgp still didn't respond)

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

 

(by the way, I also noticed that at some point my hmcs was designating points in the sky. But I think I saw a bug report about that already)

Try undesignating before step 6. Also ensure the pod is not in ATRK or PTRK modes.
