need evidence SPI changes to steer point when engaging Laser Spot Search

[Diesel_Thunder]

I think I may have found a bug with Laser Spot Search. If the TGP is the SPI, and you engage Laser Spot Search, the SPI will immediately revert to the the current steer point. Once the TGP detects and is tracking a laser spot, I can TMS up long again and change the SPI back to the TGP. This behavior is the same regardless of laser source; JTAC or buddy lase.

Before DCS 2.8 the SPI would stay with the TGP during LSS. I don't have a track as I discovered this in multiplayer. I can make one if needed.

DCS 2.8.0.33006

Steps to recreate:

1 - Start with TGP as SPI and SOI. Verify TGP as SPI in lower left corner of HUD.

2 - Command a Laser Spot Search (China Hat aft short)

3 - TGP will start searching and the SPI reverts to STPT in lower left corner of HUD immediately.

2.7.18 Stable behaves exactly like what you describe as a bug. I don't have any older installations, but it's safe to say this was not introduced with 2.8.
