TAD Ground Stabalize?

Any way to ground-stabilize the TAD screen? I can pan, shoot laser, and zoom in and out, however the camera does not keep it's position on the ground. Which button is pressed to Gound-stabilize the camera? Thanks

Use the Linear Motion Compensation on the LHG. It's not ground stabilisation as such, but it's close to it. It basically zeros out the motion of the helicopter as best it can.

I slew to a target or area, hit the LMC and the TADS stays quite stable. I then turn it off before slewing to a new target. If you leave it on and start to slew it will just keep slewing with the same direction and speed (good for following vehicles). You either have to try to slew in the opposite direction accurately to slow it to a stop or just turn it off. Turning it off and on again once I've got a new target is easier.

BTW, you can tell if you have LMC engaged by looking at the target crosshair on the TADS. Normally it will just be 4 lines, but when LMC is active there will be small perpendicular larks at the outside tips of those lines. If your TADS seems to go haywire and keep slewing when you don't expect it to then it usually means you've forgotten to turn it off.
