Solution for Targeting Pod not picking up targets properly?

[ozTRipwiRE]

Hi,

I have been getting into DCS Warthog and seem to be experiencing a glitch with the Targeting Pod. On the first Instant Action mission and in custom made missions done through the Mission Editor the pod will not properly pick up targets. They will not be there even when zoomed in close and when I add a tiny bit more zoom to the pod they will suddenly appear (they were in a central position on the MFCD too). They firstly appear partly transparent then solid. For example, I was trying to lock up one of the trucks (waypoint SUPPLY) in the first Instant Action mission and, with no hills or anything like that in between, one time holding ‘C’ to slew to the waypoint would put me directly over the trucks and the next time they would not be on the MFCD screen. One of those times I pressed on ‘Home’ to zoom in a small amount more and they suddenly appeared. They were not at a distance where I should not have seen them due to being too far away and when they suddenly appeared they were already zoomed in very close. This happened also in a Mission Editor mission. I was sure to have the correct waypoint selected on the HUD. I am using a copy of DCS Warthog which I installed from CD. What can I do to remedy this?

My PC specs are: Intel Core i7-4770 CPU @3.40GHz LGA 1150, 8GB Corsair DDR3 1600MHz RAM, 64 bit operating system, Leadtek GTX 660TI PCI-E 2GB 192-bit DDR5 graphics card, Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 4xDDR3 motherboard. My sound card is a 256MB RAM 3-core MDX Intel ® Display Audio, NVIDIA High Definition Audio and Realtek High Definition Audio.

Thanks,

First of all, uninstall your CD version. It is outdated.

Download DCS World and the A-10C module, install these, register the A-10C module with the key you got with your CD version of A-10C and repeat your tests.

Was there cloud cover? There was (is?) a bug in older versions where you could zoom in on the pod and all of a sudden you would be able to see through the cloud. Almost like zoom had been modeled by actually physically changing the elevation of the camera.

 

But yes, concur with Rongor, time to update your version to DCS World.
