Cursor Enable Button (Depress) Questions

[GrEaSeLiTeNiN]

What it does at the moment (latest Open Beta as of 15 Dec):

A-A
Depress (Hold):  AIM-9 -> BORE (if SLAVE) / SLAVE (if BORE)
Depress or Depress (Hold):  AIM-120 -> Does not cycle BORE/SLAVE (Is this correct?)

A-G
Depress:  MAV WPN Page (must be SOI) -> Cycle VIS/BORE/PRE
Depress:  HARM -> Does not cycle POS/HAS/DL (WIP?)

a) Is the above correct for the AIM-120?
b) Is this all the Enable button can do or is there more?

Thanks!

For AIM-9 or AIM-120 it temporarily alternates the permanent setting to it's alternative as long as enable is held. E.g. SLAVE to BORE or BORE to SLAVE. If you want to change the permanent setting then press the appropriate OSB on SMS. It's for quick selection of the opposite setting. Yes, that's how it works.

Enable should change the EO submodes at all* times, not just when WPN is SOI. For some reason DCS is limiting it to WPN SOI. In general Enable is not a SOI-dependent control. *When EO is selected weapon, except RECCE SOI. I noticed it won't change submodes when missile is tracking. That's possibly correct. I don't know. If submode cycling worked when missile tracking I don't know if track would be broken or not. Manual doesn't say that submode cycling by enable is inhibited when missile tracking but it also doesn't say that it's not.

Enable also cycles through the HARM submodes in a similar manner to EO, not sure if it steps HAS-POS-DL or only alternates HAS-POS. In that case WPN might have to be SOI. For F-16s with the ability to launch Penguin missile is does a similar submode cycling. I don't know what enable does on RCCE SOI but I guess it can do something.

In general enable is not SOI dependent and is used for submode changing of the selected weapon (AA missile, EO, HARM, Penguin, Recce pod).

Thanks for the info and correction on the BORE/SLAVE that it is from the permanent setting. Enable depress does not seem to work for Aim-120 (BORE/SLAVE) at the moment. As for HARM, yeah I thought it should cycle HAS/POS but it does not at the moment. (Comparing all this with that other sim.)
