Help needed: Dropping JDAMs in TOO using WPDSG

[av8orDave]

I'm sure there is a healthy amount of user-error involved here, but here is what I am trying to figure out:

- I have multiple JDAMs on the jet, as well as an ATFLIR pod

- I put all JDAMs in TOO mode and wait for them to align

- I use WPDSG to slew the ATFLIR to the first target which is pretty much aligned with waypoint 5 in this instance, then sweeten the solution by slewing the pod over the target and designate

- I drop successfully on that target

- I try to slew to the next waypoint, in this case waypoint 6, and the pod still goes to waypoint 5. I even use the undesignate/NWS button to undesignate the first target, then try to use WPDSG to slew to waypoint 6, but it still slews to waypoint 5. 

What am I doing wrong? THANKS!

When you go to undesignate, make sure the pod is not in track.

Try stowing the camera first to box VVSLV which should make the camera slew to where the nose is pointed (stowed) and then you box WPDSG on waypoint six the camera should slew to it?

I don't think i've ever had this happen before. Can you post a track demonstrating the TGP slaving to the wrong waypoint?

Are you sure you do not have the same cordinates as waypoint 5 inputed to waypoint 6? That is the only way what you are describing would happen.

This seems to be the trick. If I’m in track when I undesignate, it redesignates back to the same spot. Thx for the help.

You should use point track mode only for moving targets. for waypoints the best would be INS mode.
