Luft Waffel Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 It says in the patch notes that the tgp is now available on the cheek station 4. However when i go ingame it seems to still only be availble on the centerline station 5 like before. Am I being really dumb and missing something or have they just straight up lied in the patch notes and not added it?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnf Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) I tried it, and it is working fine after the update. I removed it first from 5 and then add it to 4, it works. Edited February 14, 2020 by mnf1980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathAngel1 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Yea, its working, but im sad that its the only update for the Hornet. Still nothing for additional TGP modes. Soon will be a year after TGP was released and we still cant use a full potential of its capabilities. ..:NAVY PILOTS ARE THE THE BEST PILOTS:..

Soon will be a year after TGP was released and we still cant use a full potential of its capabilities. While I agree with you, it's important to stick to the facts. It's half a year since the TGP was released for the Hornet :) ED did release a very WIP version of the pointing modes (probably a mistake), that can be used reliably only with bombs at this moment. Use WPDSG when in A/G mode, and the pod will snap to that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luft Waffel Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 When i open the re arm and refuel window i see the pod available on station 5 but on station 4 its still only air to air missiles available for me, what am I missing here?

I'll make sure to have twice the fun with the hornet while you're not playing it to make up for you not having fun with it. :) Best Complement: "You fly like a Psychotic 5 year old" :joystick: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using the Steam version? I guess they rolled back the update for Steam users due to bugs. I have the same issue, no TPOD on station 4. I checked game version and it's still 2.5.5 even though it updated this morning. It must've rolled back as soon as it was finished updating lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luft Waffel Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Ahh that would be it; I'm on the steam version. That's strange that they rolled the update back, i didn't even notice because I was playing MP with no issues and I would've assumed that having an outdated client would make this impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't functioned prior, so just trying to see what you are referencing here... Works with the Maverick(s) for sure, but didn't try the TGP to see if it slaves as you stated.... Thanks for a reply.

Ziptie Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 No, they definitely not updates.They just fix something broken in game. Updates to the aircraft, that can include fixes or simply be a fix. New features are a different thing. Would the TGP being able to be slaved to a waypoint be an update? Negative, it would be a new feature. i still have no TGP option for station 4. i'm on steam. any idea of what is wrong ? Steam rolled back, because there are massive and in some cases, game breaking bugs that have migrated in with DCS’ 2.5.6 update.

AvroLanc Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Has ED modeled a proper 3D mount/fairing for the TGP on STA 4? Or does it just unrealistically simply bolt on to the missile recess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziptie Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 ahh.. thanks for the info man! encouraging that the info come from a player instead that official channels... Yeah, not sure why they haven't publicly acknowledged this yet (on the forums at least) - don't follow them on any other means of media, possible they did there I suppose. Many online servers have rolled back to the previous version as well, although the one I fly on regularly hasn't and is running perfectly fine (in terms of server stability, aircraft still have their quirks).

WOPR Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 i still have no TGP option for station 4. i'm on steam. any idea of what is wrong ? STEAM is not updating to 2.5.6 because of issues that stop DCS from launching. Many people are rolling back to 2.5.5 because of the issues so while the lack of TGP on the cheek is no doubt disappointing, you may be happier waiting a few days.
