There is a "CNTRL" option OSB button, there you can set the "margin set by pilot"

 

Attached is a quick and dirty picture how i understand TA mode:

- the 200ft "clean zone" is always there(from your plane downwards ) -> if the radar detects ground in that zone it will be rendered yellow on the radar -> if the radar detects that the ground extends above that 200ft zone it will be rendered red

- with the "margin set by pilot" you can "push" that "200ft zone" down between 0ft - 300ft for extra safety margin -> if you want for example atleast 50ft clearance to the ground you set the pilot margin to 50ft

 

I hope the quick paint picture is more understandable as my words above, also i attached a YT video(should be 1440p after YT processing) showing the "pilot margin" setting, you can see that setting also in the OP post by uboats. I also used 2 pictures from uboats for my picture, if there is a problem with that by uboats/Deka or if my understanding/explanation of the TA mode is wrong please let me know and i will remove it. Also i had no time to check the TA mode, i literally only spend 2 minutes in DCS to test it, short of time right now.

 

 

 

 

really good explanation, much better than mine

Hi @uboats,

i had a little time this morning to play a little with the TA mode and i like it so far, thanks for the good work Deka team!

 

I have a question regarding TA mode. I noticed that it reports terrain reliable as set up and expected but TA mode is not affected by trees and buildings.

Is this working like intended/WIP/DCS engine limitation/Compromise for performance optimisation? I understand that i can always set up the pilot margin(set to 0ft in the screenshots) to get my safety clearance but i'm just curious what to expect from the TA mode(operational limits) for the future.

 

Attached for clarification what i mean are a super embarrassing picture and two screenshots from the game:

not consider tree and building yet.

I'll take that as a - will come later -, that's fine for me.
