Left and right on hat could be used to cycle through the groups. Short press on right hat when holding right stick can be GPS-S when TGP is SOI

yes, but how

sly bone
#

Yeep, it is a really neat idea! Just questions on how it'd work functionally

#

These are all the buttons and their mapping when it comes to click inputs

#

We do have some free space with the throttle controllers thumbstick, it has no pressed in bind.

#

It could work

#

maybe using trigger for modifier when holding throttle and then X to mark target when TGP is SOI and then when GPS is SOI, hold trigger for modifier and then cycle targets up and down with up and down on left hat

#

In this way you can pan around using TGP but still mark targets with the left controller

sly bone
#

The trigger on the throttle is used for the brakes, I don't really know if it'd work that great. Thank you for the idea and the insight though!

#

I'm sorry for the bluntness

#

I need to read it fully, I'm sorry, I misread it.

#

oh dang, this might work better for the AH-94 then using combat collective

#

actually no, I think pylon tilt is already mapped

sly bone
#

As you said it could be enabled as the TGP is SOI

#

It'd be a bit weird and you wouldn't be able to brake while using it

#

Still would work though

94 and EWO might have some real estate left thanks to the mod trigger

slim oak
#

Yeah and maybe same for 24G EWO as well

#

For now at least you could have joystick up/down cycle GOS points with GPS page as SOI

slim oak
#

maybe there could be a new button on the TSD/TGP screen to enable GPS mark mode which enables the modifier and temporarily disables the brake function

#

Might be too much of a hassle

It looks like GPS page currently does not have an SOI button

#

but could be added easily to enable this feature

I'm not sure if it's still just Baha doing the stuffs, I really hope he does eventually hire some people! Making a game on your own is well uh, I'm not surprised that most feature requests go unimplemented, even the popular ones. If the team grew then it'd mean that there'd be less stress hopefully, managing a team can be a bit stressful but it's better than doing it on your own.

should i make a post with things that could be done right now ?
or should we modify this one

#

nice
left and right is already used for switching SOI
i think thumbstick short depress should be GPS-S with TGP as SOI

slim oak
#

When holding throttle but not right stick

#

Good idea for the last part of that comment

I think this is a great suggestion. I've definitely thought something similar while doing GPS bombing.

That being said,

Just in case someone reading this was unaware of this and was manually switching targets between each drop. (Like I was before I knew this feature existed)
If you go to Equip page on the MFD and set the GBU-38's (or similar) to "Auto", it automatically cycles to the next GPS target on the list after dropping le' pickle. I know it doesn't quite scratch the itch the same as what's being suggested.

But, it's close enough that I felt it worth mentioning for newer players and the blissfully unaware. 😎
