need track replay FCR A-A EXP mode not properly centered.

[WHOGX5]

If you have a target underneath your cursor and you enter EXP mode, that target should stay underneath your cursor. Currently when you enter EXP mode, whatever was under your cursor ends up at the dead center of the screen instead.

NORM before switching to EXP:

Expected EXP behaviour:

I don't know how is it in the real plane.But it doesn't seem to me a bug. I expect that the position of the cursor when i press EXPAND will be the center of the area i'm zooming in, so the symbology underneath the cursor will be in the center of the screen. What would be useful is to not having the cursor still in the old position but resetting it in the center when inside the expand mode. BUT putting the cursor in the world space instead of the actual screen space is very annoying when you maneuver the plane while doing those operations. So screen space is important to be maintained despite an eventual cursor position reset.

Well, you're wrong and it is most definitely a bug. The way I explained it is the way it is in the real plane. There are some very good reasons why the F-16C FCR page was designed the way it was. Since the cursor stays in the same position both in EXP and NORM, you can can zoom in and out seamlessly on a target or group without having to reorient yourself everytime because the target and cursor changes location on the display. Also, if you see the box around the cursor in EXP mode, that shows exactly which portion of the NORM radar volume that you're scanning in EXP mode. If you want to learn more about F-16 functionality I suggest you download some publicly available F-16 manuals and give them a read.

here is a TRACK file of the problem
https://mega.nz/file/Cx1lmBRT#R_b4kNEh-NCWFVIvsBv67pM-QL-ZNaFIcW_VMvyGSzU

but not sure if bug or not a bug, I undestand what is showing DCS F16... and it is good info, but what it is in the real life? I suppouse this depends on the software loaded into the real f16...

You need to supply the appropriate information for a bug, including track, if you have information related to this that you do not want to share here, feel free to PM me or BN. Otherwise we cannot go off feelings or opinions. Thanks.

The EXP logic is to expand the specific  area of interest  that cursor is on top- the FCR targerts and not general to expand the MFD , thus where the fcr cursor is on top and hit EXP the EXP field of view expand that specific cursor area e.g targets in order the pilot have better SA for the close formation targets.
