Bit late to this party, but just started the campaign and am currently up to mission 4. Really enjoying it even though it is pretty challenging for me!

I have a question re the SA page, which hopefully is simple. In many of the videos I have seen when trying to place the TGP in the general direction of a bullseye call you simply use the SA page and the TDC cursor to get in the general area, switch to the TGP and then move the pod so the pod marker in the SA page is within the previously placed TDC cursor. The thing is as soon as I SCS right for example to make the TGP SOI on the right MFD the TDC cursors on the SA page disappear. This doesn't seem to happen in any of the videos I've seen. Is this new behaviour, a bug or just "user error"? Likewise I see no threat rings and the only waypoint that is numbered is Bullseye, have I missed some setup on the AMPCD?

Hey,

I think ED corrected the TDC beheaviour during the last few updates. The TDC cursor should appear only when the relevant display is selected with the SCS. That's why when you switch to the targeting pod the cursor in the SA page disappears. If you think about it is the same as when you select/deselect the radar DDI, the cursor appears and disappears. My way of doing it right now is by selecting the waypoint relevant to the bullseye, set the radial with the CRS switch and then move the pod at the close to correct distance. Then you fine tune with the targeting pod itself.

About the rings, same, I don't see any but I'm not sure if they are supposed to be seen. And if you mean the only waypoint with the big number is the bullseye yes, that is correct. The other waypoints are displayed as small circle with a dot inside once you select the WPT OBS and select the relevant one with the arrows.

Hope it helps!

Yeah, I guess it's one of the downsides of an EA product when referring to older videos. Happy that it works the way it does, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious. I guess they also removed the numbering of the selected WPT in the SA page in a more recent release too as that also appears in older videos.
