CP/G ground stab

[Cik]

Hi Friends,

 

Is there a way (currently) to perform a ground stab (or anything like it?) currently keeping a cursor on a target with a human backseat pilot is pretty tricky, especially if they are not an extremely practiced helicopter pilot, as the ride will be pretty far from stable.

Is there ANY method that will help with dealing with the left/right or up/down drift of the TADS while the aircraft is in motion?

Assign TADS tracker to buttons (In example: 4 way hat) find target and press LMC, after that do not press tracker in any way. It will be stabilased on ground spot.

If you want to move tracker again, click LMC and move. To lock it again somewhere, press LMC and don't move cross

Almost, but not quite. I've been trying it out, and it doesn't stabilise to a spot on the ground. Instead it appears to be more of an angular stabilisation. It keeps the TADS aligned to the same azimuth and pitch, compensating for the pitch and yaw of the aircraft.

If you want to test it yourself then jump onto the TADS with George flying in a hover. Find spot to follow and turn on the LMC. Now using George's H-B controls get him to slide left and right. You'll see the TADS will slide in the same direction as the aircraft.

In short, it locks the TADS to a direction rather than a fixed point.

I did even more, I've found spot few km away on 9 or 3 o'clock, Goerge was flying with 120kts, TADS was moving as expected following aircraft movement. But when I hit LMC it was locked on ground spot.

You can either use LMC within it's constraint or LASE - STORE - ACQ T01 / whatever the Target number - SLAVE and TADS will remain stabilize and will move back on target when out of gimbal.
