Solved TMS Up changes steerpoint on the Harm display
-
Hi there,
i’m on the way to target steerpoint 99 i set, with the Harm display SOI on the left MFD.
Any time i lock a target with TMS Up, it changes the waypoint to 65.
Do you guys have a clue what’s wrong?Best regards

Ahhh, now i understand what happened.
Thanks a lot guys! -
Have you set a “Preplanned threat” (PPT) for steerpoint 65? (PPTs saved to DTC during preflight planning)"
If so, perhaps you have moved your cursor over it on the HAD display and TMS up? On the HSD you can select PPTs this way (quicker than using the IPC/DED) - not sure about the HAD, though it does share most features with the HSD.

@CriticalMass
Nope, i didn’t set a PPT for 65.
I moved the curser on the HAD for example over a search radar and press TMS Up.
Thank you for your quick reply!Best regards

@Buhli - I just flew a test flight in a stock KTO Iron Fortress campaign and I do not see the behavior you are describing. I had no PPTs defined and just jumped in a jet, pulled up the HAD, did a TMS up over and SA2 that it found and my STPT remained the same.
-
Ah OK. One more thing to try, look in your <callsign.ini> look for
ppt_n
, do any have coords? Maybe left over from a previous mission, another map (i.e. it’s there but not visible). I’m just playing with the play-doh! (Tactical Frequency Podcast reference )Next, with STPT 65 selected, click
4
on the ICP are there any cords on the DED?Finally, what theatre? and maybe a video or screenshots?
-
@Zeus: yep, that’s what i did.
Btw, the theater is Balkan.@CriticalMass:
That’s what i found in the ini file.The mission is done, so i can’t check the cords anymore.
If it happens again, i will have a look into the steerpoint cords.Thank you guys

Yesterday i had the same issue again, but i forgot to make a small video and check cords.
This time i flew to steerpoint 96 and it switched to steerpoint 61. when i pressed TMS Up. No steerpoint 61 was set by me.
Maybe i’m wrong, but i mean, i pressed TMS Up twice when the curser on the HAD was over the target, like a double click.
I’m off for a week now and try again next sunday.Best regards

Really needs a video or screenshots of your MFDs. The only thing I can think of is it’s jumping to what ever is SPI

I did a remote session this morning, so i’m sorry for the bad quality:

I hope you guys can see it.Buhli

@Buhli if I am not wrong I see a ^ over the SA site. Isn’t that an indicator that you have placed a PPT there? If you go over the PPT and select it by TMS UP it will be selected as active steerpoint. TMS DWN will deselect and delete it from your HSD.
Maybe a final screenshot from your 2D map will clarify this …
-
The video shows an overlap of SAM + ring so I’m not surprised this takes the PPT WYPT instead of the one you defined…

Ahhh, now i understand what happened.
Thanks a lot guys! -
