Using the IAT

[SharpeXB]

Mine sure doesn’t work like this

First question, how is his cursor so steady? Mine is zipping all over the place, it’s almost impossible to keep still. There doesn’t seem to be any stabilization on this thing. He doesn’t even need the LMC, that just makes my cursor go even crazier. 
Second, when I press the IAT switch nothing happens, I don’t get that gate tracking the target. Will it work tracking cars? Or is there something buggy going on?

I’m using Stable version

Wags was stationary in the video, that's why it seems so stable without LMC on. Cars are not considered targets so IAT doesn't track them (even though it should track anything with contrast). When using LMC it's a good idea to lase for a couple seconds that way the system knows how far away you're looking so it can then adjust the LMC slew speed based on the range and FOV of the TADS. Also it's better to just keep the laser on while using LMC so there's a constant update in range for the computer. You can also turn MAN RANGE to Auto and it will update the computer similar to lasing, or if you plan on keeping the TADS in the general area of a target point/waypoint you could also just use nav range by selecting it as an acquisition source.

Do you have a video or track file? I'm not sure what you are seeing.

Aha ok so the cars aren’t targets, that’s what I was wondering. And I wasn’t hovering or using the laser.

DCS seems to not let you track cilivi traffic. not realistic but, im fine with that
