douca Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago Pressing S2 to return the slewed TGP back to the selected waypoint no longer works From what I've understood, and from my experience in the JF-17, if you slew the TGP away from a waypoint and then hit S2_Press, the TGP will re-slave to the selected waypoint. This is no longer the case, if you slew the TGP away from an area track and then hit S2_Press, the TGP will return to the location of area track, not the selected waypoint. Steps to recreate: Enter AG master mode Select WMD-7 TGP on one MFCD (middle on in my case) Ensure TGP is in "SLAV" mode (should be default) Slew around and press "T5_Press" to enter area track on locations within 21NM (can be point track aswell) (Optional) Slew further from this area track but don't press "T5_Press" Press "S2_Press" and see the TGP slew to the location of the area track established in step 4. I've added step 5, as without step 5 the TGP will just slew to the same place it's already looking. Step 5 is optional as the lack of slewing to selected waypoint is not affected by a further slewing after area track is established. It does not matter if the selected waypoint is a normal waypoint or a markpoint, both shown in the trackfile. An additional issue I've found with the WMD-7, but I'm uncertain if this is new so I won't make a new topic. When slewing around after establishing an area track, even within 21NM slant range, the TGP will enter the "dumb mode" or "off axis snow plow" of no area, point, or INS track and will drift with aircraft movement. IIRC as long as you were below 21NM (and weren't looking at something impossible to get a contrast based area track on) slewing would keep the pod in an area track. JF-17_TGPslew_CZ_bug_test.trk
