twistking Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Hello, this is a tricky one, because i don't know if this is still WIP, or if i simply missed something or if the real aircraft behaves this way. Let me explain and maybe the devs can double check it, or someone else can correct me. The F-16C does not "need" SPI indication, because a sensor that is SOI, also generates the SPI. However that is not always the case. There are situations f.e. where the TGP pod can be slewed freely and therefore is SOI, but does not generate a SPI. This is for example in HARM POS mode, where SPI is always Steerpoint. Another situation is TGP SOI but slaved to steerpoint. There is no indication that tells you that TGP is slaved to Steerpoint. TGP symbology is identical to TGP in InertiaTrack (TMS aft). If you target is on Mark- or Steerpoint and the TGP is obscured by clouds, it is therefore not possible to know if SPI is Steerpoint, or if you maybe have slewed the TGP a bit off and TGP is generating SPI. Only solution is to slew away and CZ to make sure. I would assume that there must be some indication in TGP that tells you, if TGP is generating SPI, or if it is just slaved to Steerpoint, or if it just looking somewhere without doing anything (HARM POS)... I understand that TGP in AREA Track or Point Track has different symbology to "slaved" TGP. InertiaTrack TGP has same symbology as slaved TGP though...
