DMouse Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Hi, firstly loving the A10C II! I am finding getting the TGP to Slave to the HMCS a bit hit and miss. If the TGP is pointing to another SPI it doesnt always want to come back to where the HMCS is pointing. The command I am using is DMS Right Long, with HMCS as SOI. Is there a trick to this or is there a bug? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schurem Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Dms right long often doesn't seem to do what it should do. Havent found reproduction steps yet. Resetting the pod (any, ag) does fix it, for a short spell. I5 9600KF, 32GB, 3080ti, G2, PointCTRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resetting the pod (any, ag) does fix it, for a short spell. It looks like, from my quick test today, that the issue is when TGP is in a slaved state. I.e. slaved to a steerpoint. When slaved the DMS Long Left Command doesn’t work. Slew away from the steerpoint a little and it does. Not sure if intentional. Sort of see the argument both ways.

Ziptie Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Dms right long often doesn't seem to do what it should do. Havent found reproduction steps yet. Resetting the pod (any, ag) does fix it, for a short spell. I just tried this, and am having zero issues with it. Never had to put the TGP back to standby. SPI is STPT CHAL slave TGP to STPT SOI to HMIT/HMCS) DMSRL slave TGP to SOI (HMIT/HMCS) CHAL slave TGP back to STPT Repeat. Did this with 4 different steerpoints. All worked as it should..... not sure why some are having issues.

I'm guessing you mean DMS Long RIGHT not left though!. I either have to slew away from the steerpoint, or put the TGP into Standby, then A/G again which puts it in the boresight position (resets it?) then it will slew to the HMCS crosshair. Bit of a pain when you're in the thick of it and forget to slew or Standby/AG it to get it to work...

Yeah, it would seem strange if you can't HMCS slave direct from a steerpoint slave, without the little separate TGP slew. Good chance it's a little error, but not 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priest Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Off topic but what do pilots call the "HMCS"? Seems like kit usually stuff gets a slick backronym but nothing jumping out at me on this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sr. Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Does China Hat short/aft no longer center TGP to boresight?

Ziptie Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Does China Hat short/aft no longer center TGP to boresight? (assuming TGP is SOI) Still works on the MAV No, CHAS does not bore sight / cage the TGP. It is not correct behavior, hence it was removed from logic.

Cheers, Ziptie Thanks...I have since set a 2 position switch to Left MCFD OSB 2/3 to re-cage.
