[CORRECT AS IS]TWS - TMS up short breaks track hopping.

[Posohm]

Tested in PG map. 

 

Fly towards two Tu-160´s spaced 1nm apart at 30.000. Set 80nm scope, RWS, A6, 4B - Note both aircraft visible on scope.

TMS right long - enter TWS.

 

1. Wait for track files to generate ( note altitude numbers are superimosed on leader lines, making them impossible to read).

 

2. TMS right several times, note TWS jumps between the two tracks as expected.

 

3. TMS aft long to RWS again, then TMS right long again to enter TWS. Instead of TMS right to jump between tracks, TMS-UP short to bug a target. Note target hollows out. You can now no longer bug the other guy with a TMS UP short nor TMS right short to jump between tracks.

 

Only way to reset is to TMS aft long back to RWS, then follow steps 1 and 2.

 

Expected behaviour: TMS-up short should bug target under cursor or STT if cursor already over bugged target.

 

Track file included.

You want to go back to RWS from TWS the same way you got into it, TMS right long. You can TMS aft back to RWS but it unsets all the system tracks and stuff. And it's not TMS aft long it's just one more time short after all the other priority functions.

 

If you only have 1 system track on TWS that's all TMS right step will do. You should be able to manually promote other tank tracks to system tracks with TMS forward though.

Was the track looked at before this was marked correct as is? TWS seems like it's broken as is. Cannot promote other tracks to system tracks with TMS up...

i confirm this bug. tracks cannot be promoted sometimes and you have to leave and reenter tws for it to work again.
