Cursor lock on TGP for AGM-65D

[jc1]

After I learned how to confirm the boresight handoff and flew to the target, I was ready to slew the cursor to the target on TGP with the Warthog slew control but it was stuck. Here’s the picture:

Is this a failure that’s coded into the sim and how do I get the cursor unstuck?

It looks like the TGP is still slaved to the SPI/FCR. I would think just slewing TGP would do it but my next instinct is TMS-right to switch TGP into AREA.

Thanks, TMS right did it.
Must have been I didn’t have a valid track on target and had to reject it, like it says on Training.pdf p125 and p129.

TMS UP should also work.

The problem remains. The SPI should have been slewed since jc1 claims there was cursor input.
From my end, it works as it should.

LEECH is right that the problem remains. So the question remains why does the cursor get stuck? Do I have a defective Warthog slewing button or is the stuck cursor coded into BMS to force the pilot to make a decision to abort the mission? So I made 2 attempts at running the training TE 14.

The first attempt the cursor was stuck. I’m around 17 miles from the ship. Here’s the pictures of the FCR and TGP :

The second attempt the cursor was unstuck. I’m around 18 miles from the ship.

I hope that I don’t have an intermittent problem with my Warthog slewing button. Hopefully the stuck cursor is a planned part of the sim. If LEECH and nobody else has this problem, then I guess I’ll have to be contacting Thrustmaster. Does anyone else have the stuck cursor?

I think you misunderstood.
I do not have that problem. In fact I yhink you are the first to report this issue, and the problem remains at your end and this needs to be solved.
Could you please make a video ?. It would help.

How do you make a video?
