TGP Tracking Issues


Mirage2425

Recommended Posts

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!

The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.

Put a dead zone into your tdc control. 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.

Except in my case the FCR (& 65s) cursor wasn't drifting. 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.

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.
