FalcoGer Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 Is there an option to ground stabilize the TADS? I have the thumb force controller bound to my joystick axis because I don't have anything else that makes sense and I have to deflect it really hard, like 70% just to keep the TADS stable on target. it's a bit hard on the wrist. Is there something I can press to ground stabilize the thing? Target lase and store works but it's not exactly accurate enough to shoot a missile at.
Zarma Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 Use the linear motion compensator. But no real ground stabilisation. i9 9900k, 64 Go RAM, RTX 4090, Warthog HOTAS Throttle & Stick, Virpil AH64 collective, TPR rudder, MFD Cougar, Trackir 5 Pro, Multipurpose UFC, Alain Dufour's TEDAC and Oculus Rift S (when I want some VR), http://www.twitch.tv/zarma4074 / https://www.youtube.com/user/Zarma4074
FalcoGer Posted March 18, 2022 Author Posted March 18, 2022 Will that be a future function? Right now it's just plain hard to keep track on a target unless the pilot is really good at a stable flight and even then it's a bit of a strain. I still don't know what IAT (image auto track) is supposed to do. From what I gather from the name i Imagine it's some kind of point/auto track, as known from the A10/Hornet. I don't see why such a really useful and software only upgrade should not be available to the ah64.
Fromthedeep Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 The Apache's TADS is closer to the sighting system of a Bradley or Abrams. It's not a direct counterpart of fighter jet targeting pods, the entire aircraft's interface and design decisions reflect this distinction. There will be a contrast lock with the IAT feature but it's not a TGP that's meant to stare at the ground at a general area, it's a sight meant to be actively used against suitable targets.
FalcoGer Posted March 18, 2022 Author Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Even tank sights have stabilization though. And tank commanders and gunners use their sights to stare at a general area and look for targets (while also slewing left and right to scan a larger area). Of course they also use them for engagement, at least the gunner sight. Edited March 18, 2022 by FalcoGer 1
jibfreeekout Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 The LMC (Linear Motion Compensator) button works in the game currently. It lets you hold the TADS sight on a specific point, as well as lets you "throw" the TADS in a specific direction and it maintains that motion (useful for tracking a moving a target). Wags has a good video on this works (link includes a timestamp to the specific discussion of LMC on TADS)
FalcoGer Posted March 18, 2022 Author Posted March 18, 2022 I'm aware of that. The issue is that it's not working in multicrew right now. I was hoping for something less manual anyway.
