sidekick65 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Is there a way to cue the TPOD to a mark point once it has been created by radar - without having to go back and select it on the radar screen? I'd like to set up a series of targets on the radar and then cycle through them on the TPOD without having to use the radar screen Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvroLanc Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Sure, type the waypoint number 'M1' etc into the UFC scratchpad (you'll need to use the SHF key) and then press PB#17 on the TGP page. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoYo Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 And a slightly different question. How to move between several Targets on TPOD (indicated as T1, T2, T3) or Stempoints? In the case of Sterpoints (NAV CUE mode), I noticed that the points come to an end and that's it, they do not return to the cycle again. So 1-2-3 end (I have to back to Snowplow mode to do it again), not 1-2-3-1-2-3-1...etc. I operate Coolie switch or PB17.

You have answered your own question: Pressing PB17 on the TPOD page cycles through the steerpoints, but it's one way only. To get back to a previous steerpoint you need to manually enter the steerpoint on PB17. 1 Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

I had CUE > NAV on MPD, on UFC I typed in a digit and it started flashing, it didn't skip (flashing means something was wrong for sure). Did I turn Snowplow (so kind of reset) mode before? I have to try it again. TY!

I can’t imagine it is - feels clunky not to have the steer points cycle back to 1 like most other aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, in radar mode A2G we can jump by Coolie switch UP and it has a cycle all around.

I tried to put in a sp into ufc scratchpad and hit thr pb17 and nothing happened. Abd couldn't figure out how to go back to 1. So how do you turn on sp? Forward acq? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that it works just fine: 54 minutes ago, OldFlyer said: Would be good to know if this is the intended operation. @KlarSnow @Notso Any of you guys able to confirm this (pressing PB17 repeatedly cycles steerpoints till last one, but does not cycle back to SP1)?

Mark point is a good option for JTAC, although I have not yet figured out if you can enter the coordinates for TPOD and direct it to the right place according message with coordinates from JTAC as it's with A-10C, e.g. Webmaster of http://www.yoyosims.pl Win 10 64, i9-13900 KF, RTX 4090 24Gb OC, RAM 64Gb Corsair Vengeance LED OC@3600MHz,, 3xSSD+3xSSD M.2 NVMe, Predator XB271HU res.2560x1440 27'' G-sync, Sound Blaster Z + 5.1, TiR5, [MSFS, P3Dv5, DCS, RoF, Condor2, IL-2 CoD/BoX] VR fly only: Meta Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
