Yes, that's correct for the F-15 because its suite/pod cannot track and designate moving targets. You'll notice that I was explaining how it works in other aircraft and not the F-15.

Incorrect. As Greaselitenin said, in the other aircraft you point track a moving target, designate it as the target, the track and designation automatically remain on the target as ASL follows, the weapon is released at the continuously computed time, and the weapon tracks the laser to the target which is still being tracked and designated all the way to impact, which is why you have to ensure the pod sees the target the entire time. There is no leading. There are literally hundreds of tracks and tutorials showing this process.

Agile Spear. Thanks

As explained many times, it cannot automatically maintain designation on the moving track as other aircraft can, which is why you have to lead and keep redesignating.

Correct, the target designation and lasing are continually updated automatically, which the DCS F-15SE module cannot currently do. You really need to review this thread. There are explanations and videos.

You didn't answer the question. The A-10, F-16, and F-15 can track/designate/hit moving targets. Please explain how.

Please explain how the A-10, F-16, and F-18 can simultaneously track and designate a moving target, with the designation remaining on the moving target, the ASL following the moving target, the laser remaining on the moving target, and the LGB tracking the laser to the moving target without leading, redesignating, and hoping the target doesn't change speed or direction as is required in the current F-15SE module. The answer is that they have newer suites/pods which can do so, while the current DCS F-15SE does not.

They are not independent in all suites because later suites/pods had/have the capability to track/designate/hit moving targets just like the other aircraft using newer pods. Which is why it will be nice if/when they implement those capabilities.

Not sure what you're not understanding. Please read this thread for an explanation. The current F-15SE suite/pod cannot simultaneously track and designate a moving target like the A-10, F-16, and F-18 can. As you said, track and designate are independent in this suite, they are combined in the other aircraft with newer suites/pods.

As has been explained in this thread, the current suite and/or pod cannot track and simultaneously designate moving targets, and CDES was not designed to do so. And as I explained, the intent is that it will be nice if/when the capability to hit moving targets (like the A-10, F-16, and F-18 can) is implemented.

As you can see in this entire thread, it wasn't working before and still isn't. Suite 4 either didn't have the capability, or the pod didn't, or they did but it didn't work in this module, but either way you can't track and designate a moving target. So like I said, it would be nice if/when they update the module.

Still no capability to track/designate moving targets in 2.9. Hope they implement a newer suite and/or newer pod sooner rather than later.

Still broken in 2.9 update. ED/Razbam, could you please fix this basic error?

The fix is for buttons or 4-way switches, so it won't work for my situation where I have a mini stick (CH Pro Throttle) used for TDC control.

You're right, it was in a campaign. I just assumed general kneeboard pages were standard. Thanks.

Kneeboard weapon usage pages have "ordinance" rather than "ordnance".

Not sure what your issue could be, but just make sure you're assigning the mini joystick on the throttle to Slew Horizontal and Slew Vertical for Joy X and Joy Y.

Have to say, even if it were working properly in the F-15E I much prefer the autopilot in the A-10, F-18, etc.

Yes, it's very odd that it works for some and not others. No mods, current beta version.

The autopilot simply does not work consistently or reliably at this stage. I've tried different missions, different starts, different configurations, different scenarios, etc. and it just doesn't work well. Hopefully it's on the short list to be addressed for repair.

+1 No way to adjust the slew rate through axis control and it's impossible to make fine adjustments. Does the SE have a system-level slew rate adjustment that hasn't been implemented yet?

A/G gun still doesn't work either.

Still broken after last update.

Yep, it's broken. Hopefully they make it a priority to fix.

Ok, glad it's not just me. Hopefully it gets put on the priority list for repair.
