4.33 TGP Zoom Problem
-
I am glad that my thread helped someone else but I am still having problems. I have tried quite a few combinations of making sure the TGP is SOI, FCR is locked and unlocked on target, all three modes (TV, WHT, BHT), locking up the target on the TGP, etc and still no zoom. Someone told me once that Dell computers are no good for gaming. Is that a factor? Do I need to move on from Windows 7. I remember seeing some people having problems with windows 10. I say again this was not a problem in 4.32. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hello Oldfalcon,
I am using Windows 7 professional so I do not think windows is the problem.Test
Go to your controller setup and press the Alt F3 and Alt F4 keys and see if it is mapped to man range knob callback.Can you trying remapping the keys for manual range knob to another key beside the default Alt F3 and Alt F4 and see if it work, perhaps your keyboard is the issue?
I remember correctly I remapped Alt F3 and Alt F4 again to have it functioning.
Make sure the callback you are mapping is TQS: MAN RANGE KNOB. -
Darn! I thought you were on to something. I have the same trouble moving the antenna up and down which is under Ctrl: F5, F6, F7. But, alas, I moved the TQS: Man Range knob to shift: u, i and nothing. Moved it back to the original spot and nothing. The other functions under the function keys and modifiers (shift, ctrl, etc) seem to work fine. Is it time to buy a new computer?

If your target can be designated with a target steerpoint in 2D you really don’t need to use the TGP, because GBU 39 is a type of JDAM. Just turn the bombs on, fly to the steerpoint, get within range, pickle and smoke a cigar. But if would be good to get to the bottom of whatever is going on .

Try a different keyfile yours might have changed. I have no problems in windows 10

Well it sounds to me like we have exhausted all the possible solutions and that this problem is unique to my system. Thank you for trying. Might be time for a new computer. This one is getting old. What are the best pilots buying in the way of a nice computer for gaming and other various household duties?

Honestly the best and most cost efficient thing to do is to build your own. And by that I mean you by all the parts and then put it together. As for as the biggest items contributing to a system are motherboard CPU RAM and GPU. You can by bundles on places like Amazon and Newegg.

The range knob does another function with GM/SEA radar. Does it function there?

What is your max budget? This might help with recommendations.

I can’t see anything what this prob has to do with your PC hardware. Pretty sure you somehow ****ed up your keyfile or HOTAS programming.

Yeah, it more of a software issue than hardware.
Nothing wrong with getting a new system if that would give him good flying pleasure and peace of mind. -
I did not write sooner because I had a new HOTAS on the way and although it seemed like a very small chance it would make a difference… However, to my utter surprise, going from a Saitek Pro X52 (which was having more and more problems) to a thrustmaser warthog solved the problem. Not only does the zoom work great but I can now move the antenna up and down as well. The thing is, I never remapped anything especially to the HOTAS. Unless of course I did it in my sleep. So… My problem is solved. I do want to thank everyone for responding with great ideas. This helps justify the rather large expenditure for the new HOTAS which I wish I would have bought in the first place.

Good to know your issue is resolved.

Frag radius pattern
Hello guys,
I would like some clarifications on the frag radius pattern when using the TGP. I understand when doing CAS mission, one can use it to reduce the fragments pattern to limit the explosion to the specific area the enemy is at.
How about putting the fragments radius to the highest, would this increase area the damage a bomb can cause to wider area or one’s ability to cause maximum damage is dependent on the bomb one is dropping.I have done a bigger frag radius and destruction done did not go as expected. So my conclusion is this feature in TGP is restricted to CAS mission alone.
Just curious

It’s just a circle drawn on the screen. The bomb explodes and kills stuff the same.
