Weasel Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Hi all I need your help: I tried the mission "Weapons Training" several times but I can't find the targets with the TGP. For example: At Waypoint 3 there are some trucks & vehicles. When I now fly to WP3, how can I find the targets? With China hat aft long, I should be able to align the TGP to Steerpoint and also locate the targets, shouldn't I? What am I doing wrong?
JG2_Miller Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 China Hat FWD Long is the answer. Select WP3, China Hat FWD Long and voila, TGP is aligned. China AFT Long only resets the SOI to Steerpoint, and I guess your TGP wasn't set to SOI.
Eddie Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 China Hat FWD Long is the answer. Select WP3, China Hat FWD Long and voila, TGP is aligned. China AFT Long only resets the SOI to Steerpoint, and I guess your TGP wasn't set to SOI. Nope. China hat aft long slews the TGP to the steerpoint, regardless of SOI or SPI. TMS aft long resets SOI to steerpoint. Weasel, The target may not be exactly at the steerpoint, use the pod to scan the area around the steerpoint and make sure you use CCD and WHOT/BHOT modes as well as the zoom to closely scan any areas of interest.
FreeFall Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 AFAIK, China Aft Long slaves TGP to Steerpoint. Just check if the Steerpoint is exactly the one you want. If you have the automatic steerpoint advancement activated (it is as a default), the steerpoint will be changed automatically. You can disable this by pressing the FPM button of CDU panel and when you see the AUTO, click the LSK button located to the left of the word AUTO. Then it will be manual.

Yes you should be able to, provided that your steerpoint coordinates are on the ground. At default the steerpoints are at Angels 10 so all you are doing when slaving your TGP to the Steerpoint in slaving it to the steerpoint 10 000ft up. Herewith amended mission with coordinates on the ground: Weapons Training.miz Select steerpoint you want and slave TGP to steerpoint. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?

Weasel Posted November 30, 2011 Author Posted November 30, 2011 Hi all Thanks a lot for your help. I will try it again with the amended mission (thanks 159th_Viper for the file). I was just confused because I don't see anything on TGP when I aligned TGP to Steerpoint with China aft long, but I believe this was because of the missing STP coordinates on the ground.
RogueRunner Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Also, change to the FLIR camera rather than the TV since targets will jump out at you nicely. It's res is not as high but it's far easier spotting stuff against the background than with the TV. With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.
