Silver_ Posted August 22, 2024 Posted August 22, 2024 When I am using the radar with targets of opportunity in SP (snowplow mode), when I enable the radar cursor with TMS UP, so that it begins to slide, the SOI jumps to the right MFD where I have the Maverick's WPN screen and I have not yet selected no objective so I have to change the SOI again manually and thus be able to select it. This should be corrected. The SOI should only change if I make the target selection, or at least that's how I understand it. I send you a Track as an example. SOI_problem.trk

SOI_problem.trk 196.91 kB · 3 Downloads which Maverick, otherwise set the TGP from MAN to AUTO I saw your track and hmm. if you only want to leave SP then TMS Down should be enough otherwise it means for our version basically, if FCR GM is SOI and you press TMS UP>> FCR GM tracking state = the SOI changes to WPN/MAVERICK. However, your FCR is not in tracking state after TMS UP, but the SOI still changes. Edited August 23, 2024 by Hobel

If you do TMS DOWN you exit SP mode and go to WP (waypoint) tracking mode. 12 hours ago, Hobel said: basically, if FCR GM is SOI and you press TMS UP>> FCR GM tracking I already knew this, but let me tell you that with the first press of TMS UP the cursor is enabled to slide and with the second press of TMS UP what you say here happens (obviously the second press, once the cursor is enabled, is to select the target and the SOI changes to WPN as normal). 12 hours ago, Hobel said: However, your FCR is not in tracking state after TMS UP, but the SOI still changes. This is what should not happen, LET THE SOI CHANGE!, it should only ENABLE THE CURSOR and nothing else. Edited August 23, 2024 by Silver_
ED Team Lord Vader Posted August 23, 2024 ED Team Posted August 23, 2024 Hey @Silver_ Although I can understand your personal preference to be that the FCR resumes the SP logic after TMS up (sounds reasonable to me too), if the Maverick WPN page is selected, the current logic does set the WPN page as SOI to track SPI after an initial TMS up. If you feel this is not working according to the actual F-16C Block 50 CCIP logics, please provide publicly available non-classified documentation to @BIGNEWYand we will certainly review it if it needs correction.

This is not my personal preference, it is perfectly explained in the USAF HANDBOOK regarding the F16, you can consult it. Anyway, I think they have a hard time understanding me. I know the current logic is a bit silly and passes the SOI to the second MFD (with WPN selected) as soon as you first press TMS UP on the radar screen. What you would do is enable cursor mobility, then we would search for the target (now that the cursors are moving) and a second press of TMS UP (once the target is located/selected) would do what you say, pass the SOI to the second MFD (with WPN). 1 hour ago, Hobel said: ah understand like this? : https://streamable.com/3o0pbj Not exactly because you, on the second MFD, do not have the WPN screen on it (you have the HSD). (the SOI must be on the first MFD, the radar, with SP activated)

ED Team Solution Lord Vader Posted August 26, 2024 ED Team Solution Posted August 26, 2024 Hey @Silver_ No need to explain, I had already said it sounded logic to me too. But please understand we cannot make changes without proper documentation. That documented support was found and I have reported this internally.
