NoCarrier Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 I'm super duper confused right now, because I just noticed (after faffing about with the Huey for a few months) that SPI behavior seems to have changed. I seem to remember that you could designate a SPI through the TGP (with TMS Up Long, obviously) and that the SPI would stay on the point you designated no matter where the TGP was looking. You could use China Hat Forward Long to slave your TGP back onto the SPI. Now, this doesn't work anymore, as the SPI moves right along with the TGP to wherever its pointing. When you boresight the TPG with China Hat Aft Short, the SPI is reset back to the steerpoint, just like it would do with the TMS Aft Long (SPI to Steerpoint) command. This means, for example, that when my TGP hits gimbal limits, I'm pretty much ****ed if I haven't put down a markpoint on the target. In the past I could just boresight the TGP and hit Slave All to SPI to get eyes on my target again. I can sorta see the reasoning, as you can now put the TGP on a moving target and the SPI will be on top of it at all times. However, I feel very strongly this is not how it worked in the past. Can anyone confirm I'm not going nuts?

Eddie Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 No, nothing had changed at all. SOI and SPI has always functioned this way.
