TDC Action/Not Action - does it do anything??

[bkthunder]

Hi, I am starting to get back to the Harrier as hopefully a few of the big bugs seem to have been improved. 

One thing I noticed is that the TDC Action/No action doesn't seem to do anythign at all. Shouldn't it change the slew rate of the DTM/TGP to "sweeten the lock"? I have tried both with the toggle button "TDC Action/no action toggle" and with the regular "TDC down (Action Position)", as well as both option turned on and off in the Special config tab. No luck. 

Is it bugged or am I missign something? 

I remember early on some years ago it used to work. 

 

 

Thanks

Anyone?

I'll have to double check this..

Here's a video explaining how it works.

By the way, I don't think it changes a lot, and I keep flying with that tdc action/no action disabled on my harrier special options...

So basically it doesn't work the way it's supposed to work. Can't say I'm surprised, lol.

tdc action should move the camera faster with dmt and help with ground stabilization.

 

with tgp it should only ground stabilize while holding, no movement plus or minus

Hey @bkthunder,

The action/no action modes of the slewing system works the following way :

No action : you slew without keeping the TDC depressed, as usual, regular slew rate, the designated point moves with the TPOD 

Action : you slew with the TDC depressed, the slew rate is higher, the designated point is not moving , only the TPOD. (I'm not 100% sure about that  last thing, i'll ask the devs for more precision)

For people without depressable tdc, the action/no action toggle enables one or the other mode at a toggle, without having to maintain the tdc down.

I'll come back here if i have more intel on this.

Cheers, 

Alpha

Yes that's how it should work, but in DCS the slew rate is always the same, pressed or not. Hence my question

Sorry to jump in here, but I think there are some misconceptions with how this was added in and it's functionality (whether it's even needed), but mainly with the communication provided with this feature.

From you're description of why it was added, "for the people with no TDC down", isn't exactly right. Those same people still need a button/switch/something to assign TDC down/action so the TDC action/no action toggle offers no help to them.

What TDC action/no action does - is makes it easier for EVERYONE to use added functionality.

What it also does is highlight the total miscommunication that's happened here.

Regardless of TDC action/no action toggle being added, what should have been put across more was that there is newTDC functionality that was not known, that being, being able to hold down the TDC button to slew without designating a target.

TDC action/no action toggle was just added to make using that functionality easier.

@bthunder: - try it with the DMT, there is definite speed change (not at home  so cannot confirm with T-POd)
