[NO BUG] Going to STT from TWS as RIO

[Eihort]

Had some nice solid tracks in TWS MAN, and bugged one of them.

 

"A while ago" (my pilot got bit by the Viper so I jumped into the Viggen for a while), I would just hit one of the TRACK buttons and the AWG-9 would do a decent enough job of locking up the track, provided the the target didn't do anything weird or sudden or was notching.

 

Lately though I can't seem to get it to work. Appears on the scope that it won't try and lock if the target is more than 15 deg to either side, and I've yet to get a track to successfully pass from TWS to STT at all. PD Search to track seem to work no problem.

 

Something change I'm unaware of?

The only way I know to STT-lock a target from TWS is :

 

- HCU mode: RDR

- Operate a lock via the DDD using trigger half and trigger full action

 

And you get a PD-STT lock. Works fine for me.

To STT lock a target in TWS just hook it via full action with the HCU in TID mode and push the PD or P STT button.

That's the problem. This never seems to work, and it used to.

Strange. I've just tried and here are the screenshots. Works fine as far as I can say.

Yeah, if I tried something that far off boresight, it wouldn't even look far enough over to try and grab it in MP. I'll give it a few more tries and see...... once I'm done recovering from a massive HD failure. x_x

You should center the target when doing it, in order to help the AWG-9 not to lose track.
