PaulSummer Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 Sorry very new to DCS have looked but could not find an answer so I apologise if this has been asked before. I have set up a steer point to a target , and I would like to know how I get my TGP to lock onto that steer point so it gives me a rough location of where i am searching for targets - Many thanks
razo+r Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 It should slave to the steerpoint automatically if you have selected it and have not slewed it around before. If you did, press CZ and it should go back to the steerpoint. 1

MadKreator Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) Also if all else fails pressing the CZ (cursor zero) button on the tgp mfd on the right, will reset it to current spi and zero out any unwanted offsets from slaving the tgp off initial target point. edit: didn’t read post well enough , CZ already mentioned, but it is still an important function to be aware of. Especially if you are slaving the pod around to various targets in an area, then you move on to the next steerpoint/ target location, its always good to use the CZ function after selecting a new steerpoint/ markpoint.

When I started the mission, TGP was looking where it needed to be, but after launching, HARM for some reason crawled away and I couldn't get it back. I thought it was a bug.

This is an unknown error, if possible you should provide the .trk file, which will help us with further guidance, or read the manual first!
