fixed WPN -> ASE -> unASE = TSD

[scoobie]

(Scratching his head...) I don't know if it's a bug, Boeing's ideology, or myself being too dumb (as usual) to dig it.

Press "WPN", enjoy the WPN page, then box "ASE" and do your changes on the ASE page as you wish. Now "unbox" ASE and... you don't return to WPN page, TSD gets displayed instead.
Shouldn't "unboxing" ASE cause MPD to return to the page you were previously viewing? In this case - to the WPN page?

No big deal, but since we're talking "Bugs and Problems" here...

i dont know, but my guess would be that the deep integraton of the ASE into the TSD page (threat overlay, autopaging, etc) hase something to do with this !?!?

The threshold for ASE autopaging can be set independently in each cockpit.
• The TSD page will display when the RLWR or RFI detects radar or laser energy exceeding the set threshold.

ASE Threats. Toggles display of RFI/RLWR detected threats around “ASE footprint”. If toggled off, the ASE Autopage setting will override this option and display ASE Threats on the TSD when the ASE Autopage threshold is reached or exceeded.

Thanks, Kharrn! Hmm... I don't know. If I understand correctly the passages you quoted, they're about when and how "ASE data" can automatically pop up on an MPD, on their own. Let's say you have WPN page on the left MPD and FUEL on the right one. Now the Apache detects a threat, so it may automatically display a good page to tell you about it - the moving map with threat overlay or maybe the "bare" ASE page itself, whatever. That would make a lot of sense! However, when I'm doing this WPN->ASE->unASE sequence, I'm doing it on the left MPD, while I keep TSD displayed on the right one so I end up having two TSD pages on both MPDs and have to press WPN again on the left one. Like I said - no big deal, but it seems to violate the rule of entering and exiting subpages, that's why I started suspecting there may be something wrong with the way it currently works.

Please include a short track replay showing the behaviour when reporting issues.

Our SME's have confirmed it needs to be adjusted and I will report. 

thank you
