dresoccer4 Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 I haven't flown the JF-17 in probably 8 months. I fired it back up today and am trying to lock a target with my targeting pod following Chuck's Guide. However the target reticle is constantly drifting and when I do attempt to lock a ground target, it unlocks about a second later and keeps drifting. Has there been a change that wasn't recorded in the Chuck Guide that requires extra steps now?

Dr_Pavelheer Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 How far out are you? Targeting pod in JF-17 has limit of ~20 nm, outside of that range you can't get area or point track
Napillo Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 You should also turn on your radar so that the tpod is stabilized. 1

uboats Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 If too far, wmd7 cannot stab on ground or lock. It has around 20nm limitation to lock 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My DCS Mods, Skins, Utilities and Scripts | Windows 10 | i7-4790K | GTX 980Ti Hybrid | 32GB RAM | 3TB SSD | | TM Warthog Stick | CH Pro Throttle + Pro Pedal | TIR5 Pro | TM MFD Cougar | Gun Camera: PrtScn |
dresoccer4 Posted October 25, 2023 Author Posted October 25, 2023 thanks for reply guys. my target was about 12nm out. could not get target to stay locked (BMT). and it would then just drift away and I'd lose the target. i don't remember it doing this a while back. hmmm On 10/22/2023 at 5:13 AM, Napillo said: You should also turn on your radar so that the tpod is stabilized. is this a new step? i dont see it in Chuck's guide Acer Predator Triton 700 || i7-7700HQ || 512GB SSD || 32GB RAM || GTX1080 Max-Q || FFB II and Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle || All DCS Modules
