falcon_120 Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Hello all, Some doubts from my limited time testing the F15e that I have not been able to clarify with RTFM. Markpoints with TPOD: Putting the TPOD into MARK submode is a great way of quickly creating markpoints from the targeting points on those pesky tanks and Surface to air sams, however once they are created I cannot find a way to select them to slew my TPOD to them. When i create 4 Markpoints, i can manage to see their coordinate in the UFC panel (eg. M2 and hitting PB1 in the UFC display the coordiantes) but the TPOD only slew to the latest one, so Markpoint 3 in a sequence of 4. How do i slave the TPOD to mark point 1 or 2? Or how is the easiest way in general to slave the TPOD or radar to a stored Markpoint? Cycling sequence points in the TPOD via Hotas: So going coolie hat up cycle through available steerpoints when the TPOD is SOI but stops in the latest one. So for example if you have 3 steerpoints it goes: STP1 > STP2 > STP3 and stops there. When doing the same from the radar it goes back to STP1, so: STP1 > STP2 > STP3 > STP1 > ... which seems correct. Is it correct behaviour that radar cycles again to the first in a sequence but not from the TPOD/NAV? 1

Flapjacks Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 I'm having the same problem. I put the mark point number on the pb button but the tpod doesn't slew to any of them. Pressing that button is also suppose to cycle through them I think but doesn't.

Are you entering the markpoint like "M0" ? eg. shift-5 for M, and then the point number?
