Dscross Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I cannot, for the life of me, get the F-16 TGP to enter INR mode, Area track, or Point track. Now, before everyone jumps in and tells me which controls to use, I know. I've read the Chucks Guide, the DCS Early release manual. I've watched Wags videos, and TMS Up simple won't do anything on my TGP in the F-16. But... TMS up does work for locking radar targets, mavericks, etc. I've remapped the controls twice. I've changed which button I map TMS too. (I'm using a Winwing Orion F-18 Stick and Hotas.) I've even tried completely uninstalling the F-16 and wiping it from my system. (including all the bindings) Then reinstalling clean and remapping everything. No joy, the damn TGP won't go to AT/ INR/ PT. This is getting frustrating to the point where it's not worth flying the F-16 with weapons which use the TGP. This is very frustrating because I do enjoy the jet, but not being able to use half the the functions is terrible. (FYI, I've also tried using the default keyboard keys, those won't move the TGP into AT/ PT/ INR mode either.) I know other people can use their F-16 TGP just fine, so I'm thinking this is either something about the Winwing HOTAS I'm using, or I'm missing some basic step that isn't in the Chuck's Guide, the DCS Manual, the GR videos, or the WAGS videos. (unlikely but possible?) I've had two good F-16 pilots try and help me figure this out, they couldn't figure out why my TGP wouldn't work either. Now, I'm doing a bug report after I've ruled everything else out. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice41 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Do you use an axis for TGP slew? If that is the case, try adding a deadzone to the slew axis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backsoon Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Hi DCSRoss I have exactly the same problem with my Cougar Throttle. It works fine in BMS but I can't get AT/ PT/ INR. Also tried re-mapping and all that jazz - no joy. So I need help too .... Regards BOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Dscross Posted January 5, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted January 5, 2022 Update PROBLEM FIXED. I use a Wingwin Orion HOTAS, as it turns out the TDC slew is overly sensitive. "Backsoon" seemed to have had the same problem with the Warthog. So, if you use a HOTAS with a bunch of features, and you can't get your TGP to go into, and stay in Point Track, Set a dead zone. It doesn't need to be much, I think I solved the problem with a dead zone of like 3. It just needs to keep the TDC centered when you aren't actively moving it. Thanks to everyone for the pointers and tips. THe F-16 is noew much, much more enjoyable to fly and use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
