cannot reproduce and missing track file TGP/LSS - Unable to 'lock' ground target aquired by LSS, SPI stays on steerpoint instead of target

[Kappi]

Hey folks,

 

just want some help on the following problem:

 

Situation:

- village (STP 5) with an enemy tank that is being constantly lased by a Reaper drone

 

Problem:

I put the TGP in LSS mode and the target is aquired. But when I try pressing TMS UP or RIGHT I can't enter Point track or Area track. Additionally the SPI stays on STP5 and not the tank, so it's messing up the CCRP drop. In the Hornet however you can stay in LSS mode and move the SPI by pressing TDC DEPRESS.

 

Workaround:

After aquiring the target via LSS you have to exit LSS and track the target via POINT or AREA track.

 

This can't be the way it should be working, right? I mean it's the same pod as in the Hornet and yet the Viper has to exit LSS to get a valid CCRP solution?

 

Any help or input is appreciated.

 

Regards,

I'm experiencing exactly the same as the OP, discovered this while trying to drop some CBUs at night trying to follow JTAC lase.

 

I created a small track demonstrating it: the SPI is moved ONLY when i exit LSS and manually slew the TGP width the TDC.

 

Honestly i don't know if it's the expected behavior, if it is it's just odd.

 

Thanks.
