track ir is slaving to the tdc in the a10 c when using HMCS

 track ir is slaving to the tdc in the a10 c when using HMCS and when i press the slew it also follows my head tracking...should it be this way??? shouldn't it only follow my tdc input and not where i look?? as it is now  my head movement is being in-puted which has consequences and can throw the targeting off by mistake.

I'm afraid you'll have to rephrase that question.

The TDC is the cursor you get in the HUD with the HUD as SOI. It doesn't have anything to do with the HMCS though.

You say TrackIR is slaving to something, but you then describe the opposite, which is something being slaved to your TrackIR. What do you mean by "pressing the slew"? The slew control on the throttle has a push or "Z-axis" command, but that doesn't do anything in our A-10C. Do you simply mean "slewing the HDC using the slew control"?

It depends on a few factors.

  • Which sensor is your SOI?
  • Did you hook anything in the HMCS?
  • What's your SPI?

Generally speaking, when you have set the HMCS as SOI, the slew control will move the HDC around. The HDC is ground stabilized. But the HDC can only be slewed inside the HMCS' field of view. So if you look at a certain point you can slew the HDC around, and if you look away and then look back, the HDC will still be where you left it. But as soon as you tap the slew control, the HDC will reappear inside the HMCS' field of view.

So if you have a crappy slew control that maybe sends small inputs all the time, the HDC would appear to follow where you look all the time. This problem could be eliminated with a center deadzone for the 2 slew control axes (or with better hardware 😉).

But maybe I'm misunderstanding the issue you're having, in which case it would help if you could stick to the module's terminology quite precisely. A short track might also help explain the issue a little better.
