Pyrocumulous Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 (edited) I've had this occur several times in combat: EGI fails and yet the TGP is still able to point the way home and I'll continue to get a diamond on the HUD showing the SPI. See attached track and MIZ as example. After failure of EGI (and most other systems), I put in a flat spin, get as lost as possible, then select the nearest divert airfield on the CDU and the TGP directs me in.

Pyrocumulous Posted January 22, 2024 Author Posted January 22, 2024 I have no knowledge of how any actual TGP behaves. If it has an independent geolocation system that includes X.Y, and Z-axes, and it was able to pass this information back to the HUD, then I would speculate that this would be the correct and expected behavior.

The TGP gets it's location from the EGI. if the GPS portion fails the TGP will still be usable but will get less accurate as the INS drifts and the delta between where the targeting pod actually is, and where it thinks it is gets worse. If the INS is also out to lunch then the targeting pod will no have reference whatsoever. I doubt you'd even be able to slave the pod to anything, but I'd bet a lot of money that the one place it wont point to and stay stabilized on is the intended target/steerpoint/SPI.
ED Team Lord Vader Posted January 23, 2024 ED Team Posted January 23, 2024 When EGI fails, the TPOD is indeed reverting to pure INS information provided by the last updated data. If anyone has any publicly available information or documentation stating otherwise, please PM @BIGNEWYabout it and we'll have a look. 2 Esquadra 701 - DCS Portugal - Discord
