cannot reproduce Designating a static target with HMD

[demon702]

 for some time i have noticed that when designating a ground non moving target with the HMD ,as soon as you look away from it the designation diamond will not stay locked on it and will be miles away. you must quickly move the senser of priority to the flir

It needs to be a short track please, not a full mission.

not just static targets but any target on the ground, water, moving or parked . the HMD TARGET DIAMOND does not stay locked on it if you have used the HMD.

Idk what kind of "half" state you've got the jet in but it shouldn't even be allowing a designation to happen from the helmet if there is no sugmented ring in the HMD (which denotes that the system is in A2G master mode and that the helmet is selected as SOI). There is something else going on here that i'm not able to re-produce on my own, but in your track all it takes is recycling the master mode or recycling your SOI out and back to the helmet to get it working properly again.

Hi, @demon702. See my track.

Fly the instant action for the Hornet called "Weapons Practice" in Caucasus map.

Turn JHMCS knob to 'on' -> Set A-G mode -> Open a FLIR page -> Look outside and SCS Forward -> Segmented Ring Apear -> TDC Depress (Throttle Designator Controller) -> Flir will lock onto the area you designated perfectly. To move the flir you have to press SCS to the FLIR screen direction, example: FLIR is set on the Right DDI = SCS Right.

If I look away, the Flir stays where it was designated.

Only the ATFLIR updates live the diamond designation as you slew it, afaik. The one on this track is the Litening.

jst in case, the helmet designator is only designed to get you close to the target area before you SOI to the FLIR. If you try to fine tune it while the HMD is SOI, you're going to be in a fast slew mode and its ultra sensitive.

i have the same problem this night in multiplayer, i undesignate my target to look a sam site, put the diamond with the HSD (point and circle and press tdc) and when i put my flir in SOI the flir go 20nm in the air.

Did you previously have a target designated?  You may need to undesignate it and VVSLV your pod to get it to slew to the new target.  You need to do that with the A-G radar for example.

[Mavkruger]

yes, i undesignate before looking for new zone.

yes, i undesignate before looking for new zone.

I haven't watched the trk, but is it possible you're dbl undesignating? Iirc that commands vvslav
