Dudester22 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Can anyone tell me if there's anyway to stop the TGP from getting blocked by the aircrafts wings ect? I can see all of the target with TGP when flying straight to it, but as soon as I pass the target or do something else, then the wings of the aircraft or other parts of it block the TGP. I just don't seem to have any idea how to get the target in view again. I just end up flying out far again and then I come back straight onto the target. Can someone tell me if this what you are suppose to do or is there something else I should know? Thanks!

ilikepie Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Orbit the target with it on the same side as the tgp so it is always looking at it. I find that seems to work ok Action After Contemplation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil.Bonsai Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Unless you're flying straight and level, parts of the aircraft will almost always block the tgp at some point. If you're just starting out, try setting up a modest orbit point 10-15 miles away from your target area, and as previously mentioned, altitude is your friend. Try 12K-15k feet. This should minimize the amount of time your tgp is blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildBillKelsoe Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 its a given in the Hog. fly 15K+ 7 miles out, tilt to side of your TGP and never exceed 10 degrees bank.. sustained view...

Jona33 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 400 knot dive, very hard pullout and you'll never worry about your wings blocking your TGP again! Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chardly38 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Fly with rudder. Lets say that the target is on your right side give right rudder and hold opposite aileron to keep the plane from rolling.

GGTharos Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Bad advice. You're inducing beta AoA, turning your plane into an airbrake and reducing stall resistance, and why - because you didn't plan your turn. Fly with rudder. Lets say that the target is on your right side give right rudder and hold opposite aileron to keep the plane from rolling.

If part of the aircraft gets between the TGP and the target area, maneuver to get it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLR Rico Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 ^ That. Know where the tgp is looking, what's blocking it, and maneuver accordingly. i5-4670K@4.5GHz / 16 GB RAM / SSD / GTX1080 Rift CV1 / G-seat / modded FFB HOTAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Izoul123 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 All of the above and I'd also just do a quick mark point for that area if you need to come back to it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
