Clearing reconnaissance targets in SPA mode

[corvinus]

I do not seem to be able to clear reconnaissance target points when in SPA master mode. After visually fixing a target, the coordinates are correctly stored in reconnaissance target point M1 (mind the Italics). By pressing the RENSA button, while still in SPA mode, I expect this target point to be cleared. This does not happen for me. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated!

 

P.S.: Track attached.

I thought RENSA cleated the whole computer so, I'm with you. That should have worked. Perhaps try unload/reload the data cartridge and then reinitiate it (the 9099 "airfield" entry).

 

That said, you are way beyond me. I cannot get even a track. All I get is M1 vs M1 (minding the italics)

 

I've started by going line-by-line with the procedure in the manual. Then tried a slightly different procedure I found on this forum.

 

I also found this in another post:

 

1 - radar on A1

2 - SPA mode see ship (blip) on radar

3 - T1 - get crosshairs - move over blip

4 - TV then T0

5- L/MAL then B1

 

Nothing happens - stays M1

 

Thoughts?

I fond what I was doing wrong.

 

I also tried my possible solution to the RENSA issue…it did not work. Other than turning off the generator and battery in flight (not advisable) I have no other ideas.

 

That said I think tracks can be overwritten with new tracks.

I can confirm that overwriting works by entering more than 9 entries. The inability to remove an erroneous result makes it a bit more complicated as you have to remember which entry is valid and which is not.

 

Btw, if I want to select M1 I just select the 1 on the data panel numpad.
