Query re sensor select switch functions

[markturner1960]

So I managed to dig around and found the following info

However, I am practicing and its not doing as above...for example, left short still cycles the map page on the left MFD.

So is the above correct and are there other parameters that need to be met ( for example AG mode selected, master arm on, for the above to work as listed.

Of course, if any of it is wrong, please correct me!

TL;DR:

If SSS left short still cycles the map on the left MPCD, you were not in TPOD HOTAS mode.

Detail

• SSS depress* double tap toggles  SSS to/from TPOD HOTAS mode.
• When in TPOD HOTAS mode, the SSS controls most of the TPOD's sub-functions as an alternative to using the MPCD's buttons i.e. CCD/FLIR, Wide/Narrow FoV, Area/Point Track, etc.
• The TDC is used to slew the TPOD sensor and designate/lock targets.

IIRC Razbam's AV-8B discord channel, they were part of a discussion about the SSS and the TPOD HOTAS Mode, unfortunately I don't recall the author, so can't give them accreditation.
