TGP Zoom Issue
-
I’ve looked through the manuals and gone through several you tube videos.
I make the TGP the SOI. I move the cursor and get a lock on a target - TMS UP. I am using Mudd’s key, which is has the same key stroke as the BMS Full key - ALT F3 and ALT F4 to zoom in and out. See below.
SimRangeKnobUp -1 0 0x3E 4 0 0 1 “TQS: MAN RANGE Knob - Up”
SimRangeKnobDown -1 0 0x3D 4 0 0 1 "TQS: MAN RANGE Knob - Down"S
I use the keyboard to eliminate the profile and Warthog as an issue.The TGP does nothing.
I can switch from wide to narrow by clicking the OSB but that’s it.
Could there be an issue in controller setup? I have the range knob set to thrustmaster combined to enable the coolie switch - left and right to change the FCR range. But radar range up and down only affects the FCR, even though the TGP is the SOI.
Any suggestions?

Well, dont use the keyboard to eliminate the controller as an issue, because some things in this sim work differently on a keyboard control than they do on an axis control. Case in point, rotating the man range knob versus the keystroke for moving it up and down.
The range knob shouldnt affect radar range at all, but it should adjust zoom on the TGP. It likely doesnt, for the keystroke version though.

Do you have Range Knob set as an axis in Setup–>Controllers–> Setup–>Avionics?
Not sure if having the axis set does/does not or should/should not affect the keystroke, but you might check.

Mudd’s profile has an thrustmaster combined axis assigned to the coolie switch. The range knob in setup-avionics is set to thrustmaster combined. I assume the FCR range step up and down are the callbacks listed below:
SimRadarRangeStepUp -1 0 0x3C 2 0 0 1 “SHORT: Radar Range Up”
SimRadarRangeStepDown -1 0 0x3B 2 0 0 1 “SHORT: Radar Range Down” -
I took a look at the profile again. And I didn’t see the TM combined axis in Mudd’s profile. Then I remembered that was not scripted in Mudd’s profile but JC1’s. I copied the script for the China Hat from JC’s to Mudd’s with some modification.
MapKey(&Throttle, CHF, AXIS(DX_THROTTLE_AXIS, -500, 20));
MapKey(&Throttle, CHB, AXIS(DX_THROTTLE_AXIS, 500, 20));It worked. Woohoo! Will it work on another button? I’m thinking about moving it to the coolie so I have both settings for step up and down for FCR and TGP. I guess I will find out.

Thanks for the tip on the keyboard! That’s good to know.
