TSD Page

Introduction

The TSD, or tactical situation display, is one of the pages you will find yourself heavily using. It is where any waypoints you make will be displayed, along with where all your targeting information generated by the FCR is stored.

It can be in one of two modes, either ATK or NAV. In ATK, it is going to show you targeting information while in NAV it is going to show you waypoints.

Info

ATK mode (Figure 1)

1. Current bearing of the helicopter.
2. Current zoom level of the map.
3. The current filter applied to the targets appearing in ATK mode.
4. The currently selected target
5. Another target, not selected.
6. Distance to the target
7. Wind bearing and speed (in knots)
8. The current Priority Fire Zone selected.
9. The current mode the aircraft is in.
10. The bearing from the nose of the aircraft to the currently selected target
11. Current distance to the selected target. In addition to this, when in transit, an ETA will appear below it.

NAV mode (Figure 2)

1. Current distance to the selected waypoint. In addition to this, when in transit, an ETA will appear below it.
2. Home waypoint (00.) This is set by where the helicopter spawns in, and even clearing all waypoints will keep this one.
3. The currently selected waypoint (01.) You can tell it is currently selected by the circle below the number being filled in, rather than hollow.

The following options are available for filtering targets:

Adding / Editing / Using PFZs.

This is an advanced topic, and really needs its own wiki page explaining what they are and how to use them.

This feature is only really useful when you are working with multiple apaches and the other apaches don’t have radar.
