What Happened to the New TPOD HOTAS controls?

[Jetguy06]

Anyone else notice this? I've been jumping back into the Harrier for the first time since the Razbam incident started, and I can't get the TPOD to work as it should. All the videos I've pulled up on YouTube show different controls via the Sensor Select Switch... one direction goes to IR, another zooms, etc. And one essentially makes the pod SOI. None of these are working for me.

 

With the pod pulled up and in AG master mode, up does nothing, left centers/decenters the EHSD map and cycles the RWR, aft cycles between TV and LST for the DMT, and right brings up the NAVFLIR.

 

Im up-to-date on all patches (except the one today, 12/24/24, I'm downloading it as I type this). Is this a bug that has crept back in from the Razbam situation or am I missing something?

 

Thanks!!

Have you used SSS depress "double tap" to switch to HTS mode prior to trying to control the TPOD ?

It sounds as if you are still in the default SSS mode and haven't selected the HTS mode ?

This post has Sensor Select Switch diagrams explaining the two sensor modes.

I've tried the double pressing SSS down. Maybe I wasn't pressing it quickly enough.

It looks like I'm not in HTS mode, but I'm not sure how to enter HTS. Is that done with the double tap of SSS Down?

Edit: I see now on the chart. Double pressing SSS Down enters HTS Mode. I'll give it a try later and see what happens.

@RamsayThat was it!! Apparently when I was button mashing, trying to figure out what to do to get the pod working, I thought I was double pressing SSS down, but wasn't dping it quickly enough. Now everything is working. Thanks for the help!!
