Unsolved 4.37.3u2 - A-G DL XMIT issues
-
Description: When receiving/sending markpoints intra-flight over VHF, the location of the markpoint is not accurate as seen through the TGP, which jumps to an area about 200 meters away from the actual markpoint. However, moving the TGP a little bit will cause the TGP to jump to the area near the actual intended markpoint.
Repro steps:
- Launch Danger Close TE
- Fly to Stpt 6. Set AG DL to own flight via VHF.
- A couple of trucks should be visible directly at steerpoint 6 and a few moving trucks should be visible northeast of the city. Mark them with the following steps:
- ICP 7 (MARK) page, select TGP
- TMS UP when over target once to ground stabilize, another time to mark
- ICP 0 (M-SEL) to change current stpt to latest markpoint
- HSD as SOI
- IFF-IN to transmit data packet
- Upon reception of data by flight member, go to Stpt 71 (or whichever data point was sent)
- Verify that the marked location is not as intended
Please let me know if any additional information is necessary. Thanks!

You don’t Cursor Zero, do you?

Cursor Zero, do you
Sorry, missing step between ICP 0 to change and HSD as SOI. Cursor zero (or TMS down) pressed multiple times.

Cursor zero or TMS down?
-
@gankailer - We have seen this as well and found that if you switch to DF Override then back out to AG mode, the markpoint will be in the correct place. Can you see if that works for you as well?
-
@LorikEolmin TMS Down most of the time. It resets the deltas, so I assumed it has the same effect as cursor zeroing
-
@Zeus I’ll try the next time I get on multiplayer. Do I need to switch to DF everytime I receive data, or just once is enough?
-
@gankailer so of course what you (and our pilots) are seeing shouldn’t be happening at all but this work-around is for any time you see the problem. From what i recall its NOT a “do it once and then you are good for the mission” kind of thing.
