Fuzzysham Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 And the North-Arrow is fixed also. ;) I still have no idea how to use that north arrow pointer and orientate attacks using it. For some reason it confuses me. It is probably a simple thing I am not getting. I will figure it out some day.
STP Dragon Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) See the picture in the first posting. The arrow shows (almost) the same direction like the runway (right-to-left). This means that this runway points to the north.

Your picture does help though.

wess24m Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Had a question about the tgp gain. Is it automatic with the release of this patch? I agree it looks much better.
kylania Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 The clarity of the new TGP is wonderful, but the new N arrow cross is so difficult to read now, I have no idea how it was confusing to people before but now it's too cluttered in certain angles.

STP Dragon Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 automatic? What do you mean?

wess24m Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 automatic? What do you mean? Before I used to adjust the gain manually. I noticed in the tgp control page u can switch between agc (automatic gain control) and mgc (manual gain control)

I didn't flew yet (no BS2 and no WH 1.1.1.0) because I spend every minute I have in the editor. :) Homepage: Spare-Time-Pilots DCS:BlackShark v1.0.2: BLINDSPOTs EditorMod DRAGONs ArmA2-Sounds DRAGONs BS1 TRAININGPACK DRAGONs MISSIONPACK [bS & FC2] DCS:World: TM WARTHOG PROFIL FOR BS2 DRAGONs BS2_TRAININGPACK DRAGONs TRAININGPACK DRAGONs MISSIONPACK

jazjar Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Could someone post some pre-1110 tgp pics and some post 1110 tgp pics side by side, or are they available somewhere? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Evil.Bonsai Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Could someone post some pre-1110 tgp pics and some post 1110 tgp pics side by side, or are they available somewhere? I just did a comparison and mostly 1110 tgp appears a bit brighter with more contrast. Water, unfortunately, still appears to be hotter than most vehicles. :music_whistling: The first thing I noticed was that now the N arrow is more apparently pointing north.
Speed Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 The clarity of the new TGP is wonderful, but the new N arrow cross is so difficult to read now, I have no idea how it was confusing to people before but now it's too cluttered in certain angles. From what I understand, the TGP compass didn't work at all from certain angles in previous patches. I certainly was never able to figure it out. In the screenshot posted at the beginning of this thread though, the meaning seems pretty clear. Can't wait to try it out tonight, tonight will be my first 1110 flight :) Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.

jazjar Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Could someone explain that north cross more to me? I don't get the ground plane concept exactly. And why is the east/west line almost parallel with the north arrow? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

jeffyd123 Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 The angled view of the ground on the screen matches the angled view of the compass when I look at the pod arrow, it doesnt point anywhere nearthe same direction as the magnetic north arrow. Im sure its something Im doing to misinterpret it i think. i7 8700K @ 4.4Ghz, 16G 3200 RAM, Nvidia 1080Ti, T16000 HOTAS, TIR5, 75" DLP Monitor
Insanatrix Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 when I look at the pod arrow, it doesnt point anywhere nearthe same direction as the magnetic north arrow. Im sure its something Im doing to misinterpret it i think. Believe it's north in relation to the orientation of the pods view.
hassata Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 If you look at the screenshot in Post 14, the heading on the tape is 220. The arrow is pointing roughly where you'd expect North to be, which is 140 degrees to the right. The arrow is just a quick, rough indicator, kind of like the airplane/horizon symbol on the lower left. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
