rob10 Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 So I see in the Wags GMT/SEA radar mode videos that when he uses SCS RIGHT it goes into track mode. Track mode displays speed/bearing beside the selected brick, and only displays it. Are there any other differences between TRACK and if you TDC depressed to designate a target other than these display differences? Does a tracked target behave like a designated target i.e. can you set a markpoint on it?
Bunny Clark Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 I'm not positive how it works with the moving target modes, but generally designating a spot on the A/G radar with the TDC designates that fixed location in space and does not track any specific radar return. 1 Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.

AvroLanc Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) TDC Depress in GMT and SEA is the same as MAP - it makes a 'Nav Stabilized' designation. A fixed point on the ground. The radar doesn't 'track' anything with TDC depress, it only designates a point on the ground. A FTT (SCS Right) will attempt to 'lock on' and track a radar return. You can create a markpoint from either. I'm guessing that trying to create a markpoint during a moving 'Track' ie GMT Track or SEA Track will create a Markpoint at the tracked targets location at that instant. However it might not work at all since the target is moving. Not sure. Edited January 6, 2021 by AvroLanc 1
rob10 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Posted January 6, 2021 Thanks, that clarifies things a fair bit and makes a lot of sense.
