requested TMS up on a SAM threat on the HSD should choose it as a steerpoint

[nickos86]

The SAM threat stored as a steerpoints. Putting the HSD cursor over it and pressing TMS UP like you do with regular steerpoint should make it your waypoint. Moreover, TMS DOWN should remove the ring and then TMS UP bring it back.

Yeah, this should work as you described. Although ED hasn't modeled the pre-planned threats as being actual Steerpoints yet (should they be 56-79?....I think), which until they do, TMS on the HSD symbol wouldn't mean much anyway. 

In short....it's NOT correct as is.

As I wrote in my post - I've already sent the data to BIGNEWY. Attached you to the conversation.

Thanks.

Any update on this item status? It still marked as "correct-as-is/need evidence"

Thanks!

I take a guess here and say that its takes a bit of time to check information with their sme or sme`s.

We have requested this feature but it is currently low priority. 

thank you

Not sure if this is on Block 50s but it is a thing on Vipers. Someone will have to fact-check which Blocks/software. IIRC the threat circles are saved as steerpoints (numbered in the 70s I think?), so with HSD as SOI we can TMS-up on the centerpoint of the threat circle to select that as current STPT, making for easer DEAD engagements.

All of this is correct, but we still don't have all the steerpoint functionality the real F-16 does. At the moment threat circles are not stored as steerpoints, but rather they just magically exist in the aircraft, meaning they cannot be selected for targeting. And they used to be stored somewhere in the mentioned steerpoint range, but the M4 tape has 700 steerpoints rather than 100-127 in the older tapes, and I have no idea what those new steerpoints are, but my guess would be that a lot of steerpoint ranges have changed.
