wip How to STT the current L&S contact?

[Rongor]

The manual claims I need to press cage/uncage, yet this toggles the Sparrow's loft mode on and off and doesn't affect STT.
Only way to enter STT is SCS right. Yet I do have to move the TDC on the desired contact, so the whole process of designating a primary target beforehand seems a bit irrelevant when I can't conveniently put this into STT.

I'd also be interested to know how to drop STT quickly as the nws/undesignate doesn't appear to reliably do this.

Or just fire the Sparrow and the radar will automatically go into STT

SCS to the radar commands AACQ/FACQ
If the TDC isn't over something else, then the L+S will be the STT target.

I get what you guys are saying. Still I can't mark your comments as solution until its confirmed that the manual needs updating then

Hey @Rongor

We will be revisiting the DCS: F/A-18C manual in the future. This is a Early Access manual and this module has seen multiple adjustments and refinements on its procedures and logics.

Thanks for bringing this up, we've added to our list of changes for a future update. 

For now, refer to page page 168 on the same manual for the correct steps to switch to STT.
