Acquisition by CP/G - How does it work?

[vctpil]

Hi,

Following this video from Casmo : 

He explained from 1:45 how the CP/G may find ans store a target.

I tried with the Apache, but I cannot understand how it is working.

From the CP/G seat, I can't select the acquisition on CPG. If I want the TADS to follow the HMD, the NVS MODE must be in normal. And I can't slave anything on target.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Vincent

With NVS MODE in NORM, the TADS is unavailable for use as a sight, so that's your problem. (In NVS, the TADS is being used as a 'Sensor', not a 'Sight').

Put the NVS switch to OFF, sight select TADS, and then ACQ Source to GHS. Now press the slave button and the TADS will follow the HMD.

Does George store targets now? It didn't work when I tried it last time but it was months ago. He says "locked and stored" but does not actually save target location in Coordinates (COORD) Sub-Page of TSD.

No, and target store doesn't work in multiplayer if you switch seats to CPG slot

But Store does work in MP if you have a human PLT and human CPG.  At least, it did for us last night...

Hence "if you switch seats to CPG slot" part.
