How do you switch between Centroid Tracking and Correlate Tracking?

[Dudester22]

So I have read the Maverick section in the manual, but I am stuck on knowing how to switch between Centroid and Correlate Tracking using the Maverick. The manual says to have the boat switch in the middle to force Correlate tracking, but there must be some other way you switch between the two aswell. I say this because I can also Centroid Track with the boat switch in the center position, so I'm keen to know what actually switches the two modes? Do I press a button or something aswell to switch modes? I am using the TM Hotas. Thankyou!

If you are using the AGM-65D, it doesn't have 'force correlate' so even if the boat switch is in the center position, you are in centroid tracking mode. For the other AGMs, there's a bit of a process switching between the 2 modes.

 

EDIT: Also, for these other AGMs, make sure you aren't tracking anything when you switch modes. That may be preventing you from switching.

Would you care to explain the process please, that's the reason I posted. I am asking how to switch modes? I have read the manual and apart from it telling you to leave the boat switch in the middle, it doesn't tell you how to change modes. I already know the 65D doesn't switch modes though.
