razorseal Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I'm having a hard time with the TGP going back to boresight. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I make sure I undesignate and see the NAV on the hud. make hud SOI by seeing IN CMD on hud... then quickly after i make the HUD SOI, i press castle in and forward again... I can never get it to work if I've been using the TPOD and did a few bombing runs. however during start of missions before I have done designating etc, I can get it to work perfect. is there a trick to it? I've changed it back to SP from waypoint before trying and that doesn't work either. it's driving me nuts lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should get it to snowplough which ought to be fairly close to boresight. Edited July 27, 2023 by bfr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think (I’m not at PC right now so can’t check) you need to have a weapon selected in order for it to work. Try it - I might be wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undesignate with Boat SW AFT and try again. I believe you ALSO need to have your bombs in auto mode to do this. 1 Saitek X52 | 4770k@4.3GHz | MSI 1080GTX Armor OC | TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaylw314 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 IIRC the TGP also cannot be in a tracking mode, e.g. PTRK or ATRK boxed. Ugh, I can't remember the pilot command, I think it's Auto-Acq press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to work. Some things are very logical in this jet and some things are not. Bringing up a2g guns is a pain in the butt (unselected pylons, go to hud cmd, acq aft) lol. Or boxing the tracking box in tpod. Why csnt we use the tms buttons for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razorseal Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 Yeah I tried anfew times and I csnt replicate it now. Either I pressed combo of magical buttons, or it was a bug I can't replicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
