reported TGP does not want to track moving train

[darkman222]

As title says. The Targeting Pod does not want to point track or laser track a moving train.

Even worse, the closer you get while trying to get a track the TGP even jumps off by 1000 - 3000 ft. But the jump could also be a separate bug as I think I remember seeing it with "trackable" objects too.

See track file attached.

Note: This is not a civilian traffic train. This one has been created with the mission editor and is assigned to move along waypoints. So its destruction could be a viable mssion goal.

Edit: Uploaded a new trackfile without mods ( Had a mod vehicle to observe the train)

Hi i reported a couple of issues today with trains not deactivating correctly also not being destroyed correctly by destroy group and destroy unit .

Issue is " reported " but could be related somehow to your problem heres the threads.

I was trying to play your track, out of curiosity, to see if it happens in my DCS as well, but you're apparently using a mod: Civilian Asset Pack, is that it?

Mods can have/create problems as DCS evolves...

Have you tried without the mod?
