correct as is TPOD Waypoint Designate Not Slewing Over Target

[tmansteve]

Using JDAMS and Tpod, Waypoint Designate, the Tpod slews over target OK in test mission (not in multiplayer). Test mission in Multiplayer and the Tpod slews but is way off the target. So I need to undesignate and slew manually.

Is there a problem with the Tpod in multiplayer?

Did you set the correct waypoint elevation?

[tmansteve]

Yes, but I will check it out again. I always check by hovering the mouse over the area to make sure. Then input the elevation to the waypoint in ME.

If you set the altitude to zero in the ME for the waypoint, it will automatically set it to ground level.

Hey Fruitbat

Yes, I set it to Zero and notice that it then sets itself to the altitude. Its strange why it worked in testing, but was a few hundred metres off. So I had to slew and TDC depress. I am going to test later on and see what happens.

Always check the calibration/center of the axis you use for TDC slew. At the times where my TPOD was OFF or not stable it was traced to a wandering axis.

Thanks Recluse. I found the problem. After going back into the ME, I noticed that the 1st target elevation had changed, from 7 to 404ft. So no wonder it was off. After setting the Elevation to 0, I might have done something to alter it. Anyway, after rechecking my mission, all works great.

Many thanks for the input to jog my memory

Cheers
