F-16 TGP pod not powering on?

Not sure if the next hot patch fixes this (DCS currently giving Error 500).

Power on TGP as part of pre-flight.

Get into the air, activate the JDAM 2k Penetrator.

Toggle on TGP and OFF screen.

Only way I seem to get it back is to power the pylon off and on, wait.  Eventually get some soft of Not SOI screen.  Eventually get enough of a menu to select AG and get the TGP to work.

If you rearmed on the ground you need to set RIGHT HDPT to OFF and then ON again, then wait for TGP to power up.

Hi thanks for chiming in but this happens even in a new jet.  Something has changed in the TPOD start up process and it takes a very long  time now.

Can you post a short track? Cause I don't have a problem in new jet.

I've intermittently had this same problem. Toggling power in the air gets it going.

Yes, it happens to me every time.  It seems to take 5-6 minutes to finally power on.

Hopefully they fix this soon.
