oldmanflan Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I'm having a heck of a time trying to locate the proper 'Action' label for locking a target on the radar after slewing over it. In the hornet it's "Throttle Designator Controller - Depress" and the default key for that is Enter. However, I can't find an equivalent to that in the F-16. By default, the F-16 has Enter bound to "ENABLE Switch - Depress", but that's not working. Any help would be appreciated! 1
Stubbies2003 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 The proper lock button for RWS/SAM to STT is TMS button forward. On the converse TMS aft is return to search/unlock. 1
Q-Tip91 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I believe the actual button used is TMS (Target Management System) So to lock using radar, hit TMS Up
oldmanflan Posted October 4, 2019 Author Posted October 4, 2019 Life savers once again. Thanks guys! And for clarity, the "Action" label for these in DCS controls under "F-16C Sim" are: Target Management Switch - Up (Lock) Target Management Switch - Down (return to search/unlock) 1 1

Don't remember seeing this (was looking for it).

Mykey1202 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 all i see is target management switch up/down/left/right. I dont see AFT. i looked under ALL in the f16 sim. are those keybinds somewhere else??

gudis Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 It actually says in the configuration. Target management switch - UP Target management switch - DOWN Redwine and dark rum makes you happy... Safe flights and happy landings.
Sprool Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 TMS switch up - should that also lock radar cursor slew to air targets for Aim-120's? (as I cannot get mine to work)
_SteelFalcon_ Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 Yes tms up to lock radar contacts in RWS radar mode. But make sure it‘s actual radar contacts detected from your own radar, not just Datalink contacts. You cant lock on DL contacts if your radar doesnt see them.
Csgo GE oh yeah Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 Sometimes i seem to have switched to some 'auto lock' or something. My TDC will automatically 'stick' to a track , and then when i TMS-up only once, it will lock it in STT It appears to be some kind of memory function, because this only happens to a track i previously bugged and un-bugged. Anyone know what i mean ?

Csgo GE oh yeah Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 No no, it's in TWS . The TDC will actually stick to a track but without me having bugged it.

VampireNZ Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, Csgo GE oh yeah said: No no, it's in TWS . The TDC will actually stick to a track but without me having bugged it. Once you TMS up on a Track tgt, or TMS right anywhere, targets become System tgts and you can position your cursers over a tgt (they attach to the tgt) to make it a Curser tgt which prioritises it for radar updates without actually designating it. Enables quick upgrade to STT if you want as your cursers follow the tgt track, while still painting the surrounding tgts. As stated above, make sure the radar has built good track tgts before trying to TMS right through them. Map the Filter DLINK display button to your throttle for your radar to dbl check you have a good radar return (white box). Edited March 7, 2021 by VampireNZ 1 Vampire
Csgo GE oh yeah Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 i remember now from a video i watched when i just got the module You do need a REALLY good track for that because it rarely happens. Thanks man !
Sprool Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 i did a repair and restart, it was definitely fubar on mine, the R&R fixed it so I see radar tracks again on missions and the tutorials, and can lock up as intended, using the tms-up. 1

I have the same issues. Are you using the Steam edition or stand alone?
