Please add TDC Slew axis

AHhh so... There is no Target Designation slewing yet with the hat switch in the Radar? I have been searching all through the control set up to try to locate the radar slew LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, Radar Lock... to slide the two bars over the radar brick as targets show up on radar.

So... I can't find it to program with my Warthog, because it's not there yet? I've been reading the Pre release manual... it explains the function but doesn't explain how to find it in controls, nor does it state that it is still currently in development.

In control section you will find the throttle designator commands under Hotas subsection.

That 's not the way it works...you have just to use castle switch to make the ddi where you put the radar as display of interest

That is how you move the little designator square around.. yes.

Search for "Throttle Designator Controller "left, right etcetc

THAT is the control for the slew, and you can map it to a hat switch.

NOTE: YOU MUST BE IN AA MODE.

if you are not in AA mode the cursor will not move.

the cursor will move even in nav, you just have to make sure you have your radar selected as soi

AHhh The ole "Throttle designator Controller "left, right etc" Trick eh?!:doh:

Alright.. I saw that as I was frantically searching and searching and wondering what it would be. The term Throttle, kind of makes you think it's not it.

:thumbup:

Thanks man.

AAhhh one other thing.. It seems when I program my Throttle Designator Controller for Up , down, left and right, the cursor does slew now, but it seems like the only other choice to lock up the target is "Throttle Designator Controller-Depress. This seems to not lock up my target but put my radar into some other mode. "?"

What am I doing wrong, or not doing?, or what is the choice to program, so after I slew a target and want to lock it up...as it still doesn't seem to lock up targets.:(

It will lock after a bit, I've always been in one of the A2A missile modes, like gun or sparrow. I don't think you need to be in a mode to get a lock.

In the early access guide, around page...112, dealing with AA Radar, it explains to me as I am the prisoner of mother ignorance, regarding the current status of the AN AGP-73's partial construction. I also remember another AN AGP-73, and that was in VRS Superbug in that terrible Microshaft platform! But... I remember the Radar and as I remember it really was quite a workhorse. Last night in DCS I seemed to be able to lock on to all sorts of targets and I could switch weapons and the radar would react to the different weapon mode. The radar locked on to a load of aircrafts one after another by it's current default settings. Still missing AMRAAM slammers... but it's working considering it's a "work in progress" I also recall, according to real world Hornet documentaries, the first day of the Gulf War, a two Hornets discovered one or two Mig 21s as they became aggressive, so they launched missiles on the Migs and destroyed them. Most of all the action a FA18 has really seen is AG. I'm actually really looking forward to the FLIR.

With all honesty.. "I don't really know much when it comes to a Hornet" I have a lot to learn.:smartass:

I'm using the comms hat since it also has push button for "lock" on my Warthawg. It's working out really nice, then have radar up/down over on joystick. With this new configuration, my air to air has become solid, even with sparrows now.
