can not reproduce TGP broken in F-16C

[shadegreyhorn]

I cannot track an area or point target, or at times even get the TGP to slew/uncage as SOI. Makes the A-G capabilities almost useless. Still great A-A, but coming from a warthog to this I expected more. Please fix! Will proved pictures/videos later.

Maybe you should re-check if you are doing something wrong. I did not understand exactly what problem you are facing. Maybe you can read some tutorials, watch videos and check button assignments.

Working fine here please include a short track replay example so we can check your issue. 

thanks

I added a short video. Seems it doesn't matter if I'm pointed at an IR target or ground. It constantly changes between "INR AREA" and "INR GROUND" with me not being able to select the mode whatsoever.

After watching your video, do you have a deadzone set for your cursor axis? You need a resonable deadzone so the cursor doesn’t see any jitter in you axis and constantly think it moving.

I tried adjusting the deadzone because when I held the small joystick I use for RDR slew slightly right on the x axis, I was able to switch in between modes and have no jitter. However, when I adjusted the deadzone the pod wouldn't fix to a point like when I was holding slightly right. I messed with the settings for hours and achieved no adequate result. It seems to be a sensitivity issue on behalf of the programming? I use an x-56 right now and the joystick just doesn't seem capable of the parameters required. Note: this doesn't happen whatsoever in the A-10C or A-10C II; no issue at all with the TGP slew stability using the same joystick.

I have same joy as You and I don't have any issues in Viper and never had. As @BIGNEWY wrote without track its only a guessing.

Hi.

Better try seting the dead zone in the ingame setup. Ihave a frankenstein joy for the TGP and it often drifts away, so I have to frequently adjust the Dead zone, and I do it in the options /controls tab

Saludos.

The A-10C has a preset deadzone for the cursor control if you click on the binding and then check the “axis tune” settings in the DCS controls. Try and replicate those settings on the same control bindings in the F-16 and see how you get on.
