TPG horizontal slew speed too fast?

[Grumbles]

My TPG slews crazy fast in the horizontal direction, making targeting difficult. The vertical speed is fine. I’m assuming this is “on purpose,” that the X direction is so much faster?

I know you can adjust cursor speed using Config.exe, but if I knock that down to say 50%, the FCR cursors are unbearably slow.

Put the TGP ( Not the TPG) in a track mode, so the slew is set for TGP rates.
If the TGP is not in a track mode, then the slew is set for FCR rates

Hit TMS RIGHT to ground stabilise first. This makes the slew much more manageable.

@Leech:

Thanks for replying Leech, just confused about this apparent contradiction: “Put the TGP ( Not the TGP) in a track mode.” Did you mean TGP both times there?

Don’t worry
Just tried to make a joke.

As Leech and Bert77 said above. TMS Up to enter track mode (POINT track if possible or AREA track if no POINT trackable target exists under the cursors), which will ground-stabilise and effectively slow down the cursor. TMS Right goes directly to AREA track if you don’t have a target already in the vicinity of your crosshairs.

Have another look at the Sniper chapter (1.9) in the TO-BMS1F-16CM-34-1-1 Manual for all the detail and options for using the TGP.
