TPOD Slaved to A-G Reticle


Go to solution Solved by Solo_Turk,

Was flying with a friend of mine and he managed to get the TPOD to slave to his A-G reticle. He was in A-G MM, took command of the HUD, took command of the HUD a second time and the TPOD slaved itself to the A0G pipper (center of the reticle). He was able to do this in CDIP or Auto mode. I was unable to duplicate this.

Is this an undocumented "thing"?

Yeah, figured it out...

Designating with the HUD: In A-G MM with no tgt designated (boat switch aft), ensure the TPOD is in slave mode (Auto Acq press with TPOD in command, ATRK/PTRK unboxed). Take command of the HUD (Castle Press Short and Castle Fwd Short).  If the "take command of the HUD" process is done a second time, the TPOD will automatically slew to the position of the velocity vector, and will remain slaved to the VV. PB17 on the TPOD will show SP RET. If the TDC button is pressed, as expected a tgt point will be created at the point of the pipper, however the TPOD will now remain locked onto that point, and the A-G radar will display a tgt point at that position. HUD cues will be for the release of the weapon to impact this point but will vary depending on if the system is in CDIP or AUTO mode. Auto Acq aft short with the HUD in command switches between the 2 release modes.
