correct as is TADS FCR link magically tracks moving targets

[some1]

When linking TADS to FCR targets, it will slave and track current vehicle position, not the FCR contact. This is noticeable on moving vehicles, which are not in the same place as they were during radar sweep. But linked TADS will follow them somehow, and I can even switch between vehicles in the convoy with NTS button, even though the contacts on the radar (and C-Scope) are in completely different place by now.

When the radar detects a target, it determines its velocity (if any) and vector, which is what the system is tracking when linking the TADS. If the vehicles were to stop or change direction, the TADS would keep moving along the last vector/velocity.

The FCR symbols on the page and in C-Scope only update positions when targets are actually detected and represent the last location the targets were seen.

Hmm, I though that this could be theoretically possible, but assumed that this is not the case, considering the target velocity is not indicated anywhere else. DCS manual also has no mention of this feature and the wording even suggests otherwise.

Looked at the real manual and also can't find anything on such feature.
