investigating AUTO steerpoint in A/G mode

[Syd]

Not sure if this is a bug but it'd be strange if correct.

I was checking AUTO function in steerpoint menu and then was doing some laser bombing. To my surprise during the first bomb lasing STPT switched  automatically to the next one, obviously ruining the drop.

Again, not sure how it's in real a/c, but It would be quite logic for the AUTO function to be suspended in some modes (like A/G for example).

Please include a track replay example we can take a look.

 

thank you

It is indeed suspended as you mention (should be).

Here it is. I go in full AP and AUTO mode - only turning STRG SEL mode off for a few seconds for a more precise "on the line" LGB drop. Then I go back immediately to full AP.

Few seconds before the hit TGP goes automatically to the next STPT.

Also the AUTO function could "react" a little faster - now the AP starts slowly turning back to active STPT before next one "kicks in".

Anyway, hope it helps.

Issue still in current OB (DCS 2.7.15.26783 Open Beta).

Auto sequencing should not operate when in manual ACAL, FIX or A/G. Now that we have ACAL and FIX in game, I have attached a track showing auto sequencing in all three.

@BIGNEWY care to take a look? Thanks.

If there is unclassified evidence for this please PM me. 

thanks

Just so others know: Sent a PM to BN. They will see if the functionality/document reference is valid for DCS variant.

Is there unclassified evidence to the contrary?

Is the MLU M1 document considered fair game? It's mentioned in there.
