tekwoj Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) In other words the moment the pod has to look even slightly behind the image starts to shake. How to reproduce: 1. Lock area or point 2. Approach as if attacking 3. Turn away to avoid passing directly above the target It should be visible in at least one target in the attached track. Problem is from what I see each time I watch this track it shows me looking in different spots and some targets get destroyed others don't. tgp bug.trk Edited 17 hours ago by uboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Napillo Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 It uses the radar to stabilize, so if you point your radar away from the locked point, it will destabilize. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is (should) this also the case when you are within Range for Laser Ranging? Edited May 7 by BigBorner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes it semi-useless to use for laser guided bombs as you'll almost always have the target behind you in the final phase, risking the bomb to hit away from target.

Napillo Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 One thing I noticed, is that the tgp aligns for a while if you leave the radar off after takeoff, not sure if this is intended.

To be fair in case of rockets you would have to do a very sharp turn to put the target behind you before the rocket reaches it. With bombs it's a bit more visible because they are much slower.

tekwoj Posted May 19 Author Share Posted May 19 Did some moving target bombing runs today. The loss of stabilization is so bad that it will cause loss of track and you're lucky if you hit anything moving with a gbu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seconds before GBUs impact the pod will start shaking but this will not affect the bombs. i5-4690K CPU 3.50Ghz @ 4.10GHz; 32GB DDR3 1600MHz; GeForce GTX 1660 Super; LG IPS225@1920x1080; Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB; Windows 10 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekwoj Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 Point track currently is unusable in some scenarios. Just had the following situation: approach suspected sam site, observe missile launch, find rough area, put area track, avoid missile. Everything is fine at this point. Now second approach, tgp kept the target properly, find the sam vehicle, track it. Took some time so there's a launch from SAM, avoid missile, come back on course, tgp has lost the track, is currently looking at some random point in field. Another problem that started showing up is tgp slave not working 80% of the time. That was in MP so I have no track files but I'll try to reproduce that.

I am aware of this issue, but it is indeed difficult to reproduce. I have experienced the same problem before, but it cannot happen every time. The probability of me encountering this problem is relatively low, only about 10%. So I am currently confused about the reason. If you can create a relatively clean TRK files, it will help to find problems faster. Thanks~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
