hawkeye62 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 In the Air2Air training mission I never see any target aircraft. Even in the beginning when the two SU-25s are sending up flares no aircraft is visible on the HUD. The flares appear to be originating from blank air space. I have version 1.1.1.1 full install, no patch, no mods. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Jim
ralfidude Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 You zoomed all the way in to check, and do they appear on the TGP, what about F2? [sIGPIC]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/ralfidude/redofullalmost_zpsa942f3fe.gif[/sIGPIC]
Juuba Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 just a heads up: The Air-to-air TGP-mode does not draw anything on the HUD, maybe if you slave the AIM-9 to the TGP's SPI, then you can see the AIM-9's diamond :) .. That A2A is a Useless mode IMHO. Sometimes I Amaze even Myself!

Frostiken Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 i kinda never understand the tgp aa function in a dogfigbt you never have the time but zoom out a bit the flares are blocked by the cockpit TPod air-to-air mode isn't described very well, nor is the training for it very representative of its potential. The important thing to know is that you're supposed to keep the pod's A/A mode really quite 'hands-off'. You put it in A/A, and the pod will now be looking for something that's very hot contrasting with a cold background. I'm fairly sure there's also algorithms that track movement on the background so it's not picking up someone's backyard bonfire. Regardless, the idea behind it is that the pod is looking directly forward, and as soon as another aircraft traverses your line, the pod will see it and automatically lock to it. The advantage here is that as long as the pod doesn't lose sight with the target aircraft, it should always be pointing at it. This means that on your HUD, wherever your TPod indicator is at is where the enemy aircraft is, so you can tell if he's maneuvering to get behind you, breaking away, etc. It also lets you watch them on the video. Fact is that this isn't very important for something like the A-10 but is immensely valuable for a multi-role aircraft. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
