Can one disable the FCR auto target switching?

Watching the new FCR video, I was wondering, is it possible to disable the "auto switch to next target"? (sorry, don't know the correct terminology yet)

 

Reason I ask this:

When I occasionally do an online session, most of the time I find myself lone wolfing, simply due to lack of other helo players (mostly on 4YA). In those occasions I often fire 2 or even 3 Hellfires at for instance a single SA15, to increase chances of one of them "getting through".

Yeah, we haven't seen a way to "reverse" back to a target you already engaged, designated by the "X".  Wags said he would cover what those mean in a future video, so maybe there is a way to do it.

There is a manual target selection override I believe. Have you seen the latest video where he describes using it from the pilot position (the expected most common usage)

Ah ok thanks

And how about switching back to previous target? Can this by any chance be done with a single button press?

You could slew the HOCAS cursor over the desired target and depress to designate as the NTS. What was the NTS becomes the ANTS.

Ah yes, that would do the trick. Thanks Wags! 👍

 

(I can imagine, the scenario of firing multiple Hellfires at a single target, is probably very unrealistic. But most of my DCS sessions, I unfortunately lack time to find a companion and properly perform a multi aircraft coordinated attack)

Trying to designate an individual contact on the FCR page with the HOCAS cursor while flying at the same time is not recommended and why I did not mention it in my most recent video.

I understand, but I'm still going to try 😉

 

Edit: Should be quite doable from the CPG seat by the way

I believe from the cpg seat you can slew the tads to the fcr target and switch over to the tads, allowing you to lase and rifle off multiple limas like you would have pre fcr.
