TDC Slew

[Swift.]

Will we ever see a fix for the dodgy TDC slew axis, when using the tpod you sometimes cant slew left or right at all!

[Fri13]

I am just searching that what is fix, so looks like nothing.

 

Annoying as for very long time it has been impossible use the axis for TDC.

[*]I need to move TDC to get it locked

[*]While moving TDC it randomly jumps ARBS lock to the position of flight path indicator where ever it is, without unlocking it first.

[*]Moving is very jerky, most often doesn't move at all, sometimes normally./LIST]

 

Most often what happens is that it just jumps and that it can't be moved.

 

Only way to use it is use a digital buttons to slave it.

Harrier on hold for me due this reason.

One thing I can say about this, which I don't think has already been said, if you use the TM Warthog Throttle Slew "Stick" to slew a waypoint (waypoint select -> EHDS -> DATA -> SSS-FWD (INS) -> TDS-Slew) it works perfectly. So I'm sure it can be made to work just as well for actual TDC. Looking forward to that :smilewink:

What is the expected behavior after fix for mini-stick control?

 

Is it just two-speed (faster when holding down TDC), or does it have a speed control like now?

 

As with mini-stick one can now do very slow movements or very fast ones depending the input and it is little conflict to original behavior...

[Captain Orso]

When slewing a waypoint, the further you move the stick from center the faster the slew moves. So holding the stick toward and edge moves quickly, but just small movement near the center makes only small adjustments.

 

This is exactly how I would expect it to work, not only by moving a waypoint, but also by slewing DTM, TPOD, TV, everything really.

Extremely annoying that you can’t slew the TPod or anything sensor related with the Axis without having these issues. The Harrier is no option for me right now because of this.

 

Though I would really like to use it, since I already bought it.

I mean it is really fun to fly, but buddy-, or selflasing or even adjusting the Mavs is just a pain in the ***

Please fix this!

That's interesting. Never tried to do that. And yeah if it works there it should be fixable for the TDC, though the mini stick on the warthog sucks in most planes to some degree. I use the side 4 way switch for my TDC.

Yet another warthog slew upgrade :music_whistling: ..... :D

 

 

Besides the upgrade, I can heartily recommend putting a dab of hot-glue on then end of the slew button; gives it a nice, grippy texture and a tiny but of extra length

I'm on the list to get one. Just hasn't shown up yet, there is quite the backlog.

I would expect that, but in the manual on the release it was stated that the TDC was two-mode, default was slow movement for easy and accurate positioning, and then when holding TDC down and moving TDC you can get it move quickly around.

 

That is what means that one can't have a axis with acceleration feature, so small adjustment done with small movement and big adjustment with big movement.

I don't really care what someone wrote into the pocket guide, or anywhere else for that matter. That description would be fine for HOTAS controls that are basically 4 buttons being activated in turn by a lever.

 

If however you use an analog input it should work like an analog input.

 

Otherwise it would be like telling throttle owners that moving their throttle lever only moves the in-cockpit throttle lever at a fixed speed determined by a modifiers :doh: No, that's just too dumb to think about.

[Kaktus]

Is there a known issue why Rhino can only use mini stick axis for slewing??? it is very inaccurate and akward, and  very hard to understand why other hat points don't work!?!

 

 

[Fro]

if it's under the Axis section it will only pickup axies. You want to look at HOTAS section of the controls I think there are TDC slew button settings there

[1BRAVO9]

Is this still an issue

I'm having trouble slewing with my analog stick or buttons
