Nealius Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, whether this is a Hornet-ism (and normal) or if something is broken, but the radar scan--let's say 20degrees for example--used to follow the TDC cursor so you could focus radar scans to the left or right. This behavior is also true on the Viper (yes, I know, different radar). On my system the scan is permanently boresighted in RWS and TWS modes, so I cannot focus any searches to the left or right of my nose. Wag's video at 2:10 shows azimuth scan following TDC in TWS mode, yet this does not occur for me. I attached a track. User error or something else?

Hulkbust44 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 As standard, the radar scan volume does not follow the TDC, not that would you want it to in the Hornet. The Hornet TDC can be used to select almost all OSBs on the MSI displays, so you don't want your scan volume to follow your cursor if you are going to bump the azimuth. To recenter the scan volume just TDC depress somewhere on the attack format or AZ/EL where there's not a track file. To make your scan volume follow the TDC you can use spot. Enter via TDC depress long.All the TDC commands will become much more useful once the slew rate is fixed.Mobius708 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did they fix that? Also, OP if you really want to have the TDC follow your cursor you can use SPOT mode (hold TDC Depress for >1 second on RWS mode) Virtual CVW-8 - The mission of Virtual Carrier Air Wing EIGHT is to provide its members with an organization committed to presenting an authentic representation of U.S. Navy Carrier Air Wing operations in training and combat environments based on the real world experience of its real fighter pilots, air intercept controllers, airbosses, and many others.

Tholozor Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) SPOT mode is discussed here: SPOT mode is also azimuth-stabilized, so it can be used to keep the scan volume on a particular direction in space, even through turns.

Nealius Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Okay, I see. Depressing TDC focuses the azimuth scan on the spot where TDC was depressed, but doesn't actively follow the TDC like in the Viper. I'm too babied by the Viper's automated systems and HOTAS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, SPOT mode is cursor-following and azimuth-stabilized when the TDC is not moving.

jvandemark Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 In ED video with Wags, he simply switches from RWS to TWS and shows the radar sweep following the TDC. DOES not work as shown. why? Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
