Include a training lesson on the TGP ( with Gbu's.)

[nuxil]

Hi.
I like to see some official dedicated training lesson/mission on howto use the tgp, "along with guided bombs (ccrp)".
I been flying the A10C(2) for a while and desided to try do some guided bombing with the F16.
Oh man... how do you git gud with the TGP in the F16?

How do you have sistuation awarness, how do you even know where the damn ting is pointing,
how do you set a spi where its pointing etc etc.

I dont know. maybe the tpod and the system on the A10C & C(2) is just soo much better.
or maybe im expecting to much or maybe i just dont know what i am pressing. probably a combo of all.

In meanwhile. could anyone reccomend a good YT tutorial on the subject.

I agree that Viper needs some tutorial missions,

Type in Youtube search box "DCS F-16 TGP" and you will get a list of video tutorials on the matter,

The manual of the aircraft explains it well. Its not much different than any other TGP, A-10 or F-18.

The training mission should wait until auto lasing (and IR pointer, which it also has) is done, currently we're missing a rather important chunk of functionality on the DED page for the laser. TGP training is also the best place to talk about LGBs. The TGP itself would also have to be finished, since it's still missing a lot of functionality.

best place  is  as  said  above   utube  type  in  what  your  searching  there will be  a ton  of  utubes  out  there

Unfortunately the automatic LOS slaving in the F-16 isn't working perfectly right now. Namely slewing SPI with HUD/FCR should automatically break TGP track and cause it to slave to this SPI but it doesn't. You need to trick the TGP into updating its LOS to the SPI by cycling the sighting point.

Is this an already reported bug then ?
