Mirage2425 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Has anyone experienced issues with the TGP in area track not in point track. If I fly straight and level perpendicular to the target with the target to my right I end up having the crosshairs drift quite a bit to the left. The pod is never obscured, even though it shouldn't matter in area track.. Even a steerpoint does, entered manually. I don't think the steerpoint or TGP track is accurate from the beginning even though the crosshairs are directly on the target. As a result, I miss or have a near miss when I approach the target at low altitude and loft the JDAM. This behavior shouldn't be happening. Am I doing something wrong or is something wrong with the TGP? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florence201 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Put a dead zone into your tdc control. Had a friend experience something similar and a dead zone helped 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a friend experience something similar and a dead zone helped I fly with the TWCS throttle and it tends to drift, so putting in a dead zone is a must. You can check this by looking at your regular radar and if the cursor tends to move, it's your throttle. 492nd Squadron CO (F-15E): JTF-111 - Discord Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time a drift occurred was in when TGP went SOI. Took me several days of trying to solve it. Definitely didn't present itself as a cursor drift issue as only TGP drifted.

Machalot Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Check that your steerpoint altitude is correct. Otherwise your TGP will track a point in space (or under ground) while the ground apparently translates due to parallax. 1 "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic. And reentry from space, well, that's like Mach a lot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage2425 Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) I should have been using INR mode, not area track. It's working as it should now. Thanks everyone for the assistance! Edited June 23, 2021 by Mirage2425 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
