[FIXED, CHECK FIRST MESSAGE FOR SOLUTION] TPOD NOT TRACKING MOVING TARGETS

[Drangoll]

EDIT : Found the issue thanks to the guys on Razbam Discord Server

My TDC Axis with no deadzone were apparently wiggling imperceptibly constatly changing the position of the pod.

Now with TDC Controls mapped to a POV Switch everything works fine.

EDIT 2 : APPLYING A BIT OF DEADZONE ON THE TDC AXIS CONTROLS ALSO WORKED FOR ME

 

Hi guys,

recently started learning the Harrier.
Today I wanted to try and drop a gbu-12 on a moving target using the TPOD.

I created a simple mission in the ME with an airstarted AV8B.

When in the aircraft I go to the EHSD page to designate the waypoint (defined through the mission editor) and press "DESG".
I then go to the right MPCD and select the TPOD page , finding the lightning correctly slaved to the waypoint.

I press "Sensor Select Down" twice to go in TPODdes mode and then select MT mode.

I start slewing the TPOD on the target but I immediately recognize its not picking up the moving target.

 

Any idea why this is happening ? Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I've attached the miz mission file If you want to try it out yourself (syria map)

Set the master ARM mode on, the TPOD from SAFE to ARMED mode, and TRNL mode (training) to LSR (laser mode) then switch the tpod track mode with SENSOR Switch Down to "MT" mode (Moving Target), track mode will be displayed on the left down corner.

i find that locking mooving target way more sensible/difficult with the Harrier compare to the A10C.

In the A10C, you put the TDC over the moving target and it locks very easy, whatever is the level of zoom of the TPOD.

In the Harrier i have to do multiple attents to lock a target. I've found the best result is when the zoom est high....Against fast moving target it's nearly impossible to lock. I have to fly multiple pass over the target to have a solid lock = very frustrating and a loss a time tacticaly speaking.

Thx for your replies
