dmatsch Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 Lately I've been seeing issues with the TGP on the F16. my loadout is with guided munitions, however in the mission, the TPG never really "activates". I get the full TGP display with just a black screen. None of the MFD buttons work. before I post a bug, is anyone else seeing this, or what am I doing wrong? FYI: I'm using auto-startup procedures.
_SteelFalcon_ Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) does it say STBY instead of A-G or A-A? if so, press the OSB next to the STBY and unstow the pod by clicking the OSB next to A-G or A-A, depending on your master mode Edited May 4, 2023 by _SteelFalcon_ 1
ED Team Lord Vader Posted May 5, 2023 ED Team Posted May 5, 2023 Hey @dmatsch As a rule, whenever you're trying to explain a bug you encounter, try to create a short track demonstrating the issue and steps to reproduce it. Even with auto-start, like @_SteelFalcon_said make sure your Targeting Pod is powered up, not stowed and in AG mode (in this case) for operation. The TPOD also needs to go through a power on/BIT cycle of about 2 minutes prior to use. Esquadra 701 - DCS Portugal - Discord
dmatsch Posted May 5, 2023 Author Posted May 5, 2023 thanks for your help everyone. I wanted to make sure it wasn't me first
Solution Rogue_JP Posted September 19, 2023 Solution Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) The reason this happens is because you didn't turn on the TGP while on ground. However, you can correct this in mid-air. Once TGP has been powered on and gone through it's startup cycle (no longer says "NOT TIMED OUT"), If the screen is black with all the options but no video, simply hit the standby button on the MFD while on TGP mode. then hit the A/G button in the TGP MFD page. It should now show video. Edited September 19, 2023 by Rogue_JP 2
