investigating Random TADS angle when swapping ACQ

[Grizzley78]

Repeatable.  Steps to reproduce:

1.  Store T01
2. Store T02
3. Set ACQ T01
4. Slave T01
5. Set ACQ T02

TADS deslaves and moves to a random location between T01/T02 without CPG deslaving

6. Slave ACQ T02
7. Set ACQ T01

TADS again points to a random location between T01/T02 

Continue to repeat.

You need to deslave and then reslave every time you switch target points. The TADS doesn't automatically slew from one to the next when you select them. No idea if this is correct behaviour or not though.

Agreed, but I'm not trying to say that it should slave as soon as it's selected.  Steps above show I'm slaving the new target myself.  But when you go ACQ and select a different target, the TADS will unslave on its own, and point in a random direction.  I would assume that if I needed to deslave before slaving the new target, then it would stay aligned to the old target until I deslave.  So this doesn't seem like intended behavior.

Checking, thanks.
