If you choose "choose specific target" you can also force Chester to STT lock data link targets (if Chester is able to align the the AWG-9 to that targets).

I've tried all that, STT lock, RWS, TWS, STT, high, low, in single player 70% hit rate, online 50% maybe too much for jester to handle. Air Quake targets.

Tracks on which a Phoenix is being guided should be held and extrapolated even when they are "lost". The sole purpose of this functionality can only be that a Phoenix is supposed to keep guiding on the extrapolated track. If the real target happens to remain adjecent to the "ghost track" it should still be hit.  I don't think this is working in DCS though. When a track is lost the Phoenix (A) is gone.

 

Both the 54A and the 54C should guide onto the extrapolated tracks....

BUT

They presently are NOT guiding on extrapolated tracks if the loss of lock happens even if the target reappears "near" the ghost track... The missile just continues it's loft until it reaches Low Earth Orbit. This is most noticeable when the AIM-54 is in the MBAM... while in the mid course, I've had maybe 10% luck in getting a guide on the extrapolated track.

 

Further, I've had the AWG-9 lose a track, the enemy jet not maneuver, and it still does not correlate the track files correctly even though the X'd out track is directly on top of the "new" track for the same target.  This, even for a 1960's radar set, seems odd if it actually has a track correlation capability.

this is the big question I have about the radar, is it correct as it is or should the track be correlated?
Is there any free information on this or is this just your guess?

Going to take the F14 out when F4 drops. Going to try me Phoenix.
