Going from point track (pod) to INR after following a moving target, incorrectly slews the pod back


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Acquire a point track with the pod over a moving target 

2. Wait some time (with the target moving and the point track lock maintained)

3. Press TMS aft short to go back to INR mode

 

What should happen:

The pod should stop following the target, and it should be left pointing at its current position in INR mode.

 

What happens instead:

The pod stops following the target (good!) but it slews backs to the initial position at which you started tracking that target on step 1.

 

This is specially annoying when dealing with convoys moving at speed, for instance in missions like the rolling SMRs one, where there's a lot of tracking of moving targets.

 

Track file attached.

Video of this happening (same mission than trackfile):

DCS version: 2.7.2 (Steam version)

Tested on single-player only, on all the maps.

 

Sorry if this was already reported! Did a quick search and couldn't find any similar reported issue.

When selecting TGP (on left MFD) as SOI, The track point will drift every time when TMS down is pressed. It's slaved on a fixed steerpoint, so unless this is supposed to happen after the update, otherwise I think this would be a bug. We cannot percisely throw the GPS guided bomb on target anymore because of the drift if TGP is used(which should be in many cases).

I think BN have misunderstood about our issue. The track replay here show case everytime I press TMS aft on TGP which looking at a fixed steerpoint, the SPI shift! This result in GPS guided bomb become inpercise. It has nothing to do with point track nor moving target.
