ATFLIR keeps moving

[CBStu]

Flying a new campaign and learning the ATFLIR which is driving me crazy. Flying from one waypoint to the next, BALT on, ATFLIR on right DDI, and I am setting up weapons in the left DDI (MavFs in one mission and JSOWs in another mission). Then I look back at the ATFLIR image and see that I am now at 88*L and 23*down (or some other random #s). At first I thought it was me, that I was inadvertently pushing the slew button when all I wanted was to move it right, left, up, down. That of course chose a target and the ATFLIR locked onto it, and I had a TGT showing in the HUD. So I have been making sure I don't push it, and verifying I didn't push it by not seeing a TGT in the HUD. When the ATFLIR first comes on it is at 0deg, and to verify it is working, I usually move it down to 6-8deg so I see the ground rolling by vs a blank sky. In the MavF mission I have the Mav seeker image in the left DDI and it acts normally just flying along looking at the ground at a constant angle. The ATFLIR image in the right DDI is going crazy on it's own. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here?

Have had this experience and usually it comes down to the axis assigned to one of the TDC SLEW directions being un-calibrated and drifting or needing more of a Center Dead Zone.

Thanks Recluse, I will check into that. Makes more sense than my thought that I am simply using an incorrect mode or something.

i have the same with the slew keys since 1 week and did see more posts on this ???

 

starting to doubt its nulzone related ... or a bug

Check for multiple Key/axis binds.  Not saying you are wrong, but every time it has happened to me it turned out to be a misbehaving axis or input somewhere.
