How to create target point (TGT) without using targeting pod?

[VDV]

Hi, i cant figure out how to create a targeting point, like it was in F-18. In Hornet its just need to press TGT on the HSI and waypoint now is target point and its pointed via diamond on the HUD. Its very useful when u carry unguided weapons, like dumb bombs and rockets and u dont carry targeting pod, because u know where are the target area. But i  cant find how to do it in the Viper. pls help, thanks!

The steerpoint selected is automatically also your TOI (target of interest aka TGT in hornet terms).

where is the TOI key?

It's automatic. You don't have or need a TOI key. A steerpoint is automatically a target point for weapons.

TOI? You mean SPI? (Sensor-Point of Interest)

[razo+r]

Ah yes, forgot that TOI is for airborne targets, while SPI is for ground. But it's pretty much the same thing, in both cases a sensor is looking at it and a weapon will go there.

Then go to the steerpoint page on the DED and confirm that the altitude has been set to ground level.

mark points can be created with many of the sensors too.
