not a bug TADS moving on it's own when deslaved

[daiqan]

So I flew as cpg in mp with a human pilot powered everything up and we took off. Basically the TADS when deslaved was moving on its own in a perfect square motion. It would start moving right then down, left and up, repeat. Only when slaved it wouldn't do that. Was that an error with start-up procedure? I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware issue (changed a few settings and the little joystick thing in the cockpit which usually moves when you use the TADS or curser didn't move either). When starting up I think I did all the necessary steps like powering up the TADS and laser and stuff. However we took off pretty quick so there might have been things the pilot or I forgot about when starting up. Although I'm not aware of any steps the pilot has to make to start up the TADS. Is that a known bug or just user error? Weird thing is we took off two times right before this and the issue did not occur.

This sounds very much like the laser spot tracker (LST) was active, check your key assignment.

See here for more information on how the LST works and what its behavior is:

This. You are exactly right. I'm so sorry for bothering you with this I've never used the lst and didn't notice that it was on. Thank you.
