Gun Jam Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 hello I was flying some quick missions and was attempting to use the TGP to help locate an air target. Of course my wingman always got the tally first so I would have him engage the targets. On the tad you could then look and see where they were via the wedding cake symbol. Then simply move the tgp diamond to the wedding cake and there they are! Then its simply lock on up in point track mode and then...big deal. You did all that work to lock up a target and as far as I can tell it gives no indication on the HUD to the direction of the target like it does in AG mode. What has to be done to allow the TGP in AA mode to indicate a targets position on the HUD? Thanks -Gun

Gun Jam Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 is the SA cue the white dot? getting it at my 12 is easy but how would I determine the angle it is above or below my aircraft?
Juuba Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 The lack of A2A mode TD on the HUD is just... Totally weird in my opinion. Why is it not there? Sometimes I Amaze even Myself!
MTFDarkEagle Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 The lack of A2A mode TD on the HUD is just... Totally weird in my opinion. Why is it not there? Because it isn't an A2A aircraft. It has 2 sidewinders pure for self defence. Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread

Thanks -Gun At this point it might help to select your sidewinder as SOI and slave it to the TGP using China Hat Forward long. The seeker symbology on the HUD would then move in the direction of the TGP-locked target and you can follow to align the nose with it. Not perfect (only works if there is a sidewinder left), but still...

july865 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 if you see a bandit, you shouldn't be there. very seldom if at all, does an A10 go into an AO with air threats. let the fighters deal with it. why send a plumber to do an electricians work....lol Asus x99, i7 5930k, 32g mem, MSI 1070GTX, 970 Samsung M.2, LG 35in Ultra-Wide, TrackIR 4 Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Gun Jam Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 Phoenix that's a good idea I didn't know a sidewinder could be slaved to the tgp! I'll have to try that out! Thanks for the other tips fellas its helpful! -Gun
nowakpl Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Also, if you see the "belly" of a bandit (zoom the TGP), you're below him and so on. Or he's in negative pitch so you're actually above.
