About the F18 training mission "JSOW" I like to ask about designating a target in "TOO" mode when using the TDC in the FLIR. I can`t designate (lock) the target. I can move the TDC but it will not lock any target. I tried also the "C" button, but no success. How can I lock the target with the TDC? Is there a special key?

Hello,

I think one way to check is look at target data when you designate the target, if the Lat and Lon change it is working. You do have modes you could change with the sensor switch.

Hi.

Wasn't it the "TDC Depress" on the ministick on the throttle. As @Dos said, move slightly the TDC and press it again. If you see the coordinates changing in the JSOW page then it  is tracking and designating. Move it back to the target, press again and it should be there.

Thanks, yes the coordinates are changing. I hit the target. But the cursor will not stop at the target. The cursor slides away and I can`t watch the on TV what the JSOW will hit. Is this real, is this normal?

I am using ATFLIR. About AREA/SCENE I like to ask wich key it is? I haven`t found it in the keymapping menu, I think it is a sensor, or?

There is a screenshot of the scene:

It's "Sensor Control Switch", or SCS. Pressing it in the direction of the FLIR display ("Sensor Control Switch - Right" in your case) toggles tracking modes.

Thank you, using the SCS key to switch the modes is a good feature. Now I can watch TV with  the tracked target. 

Whats the difference between "AREA" and "SCENE"?

Different names for basically the same mode used to track stationary objects: ATFLIR calls it "SCENE" and Litening calls it "AREA".

(Confusingly enough, Litening also has different mode called "SCENE".)
