check manual HMCS Bore sight ellipse - TMS Up Short or TMS Up Long?

[Lixma 06]

In this video Wags shows off the HMCS BORE mode ellipse.

While in DGFT mode he brings it up with TMS Up LONG

In-game however it only takes TMS Up SHORT to activate the ellipse.

Yep TMS Up Long doesn't do that.
Currently I'm (re-)learning the F-16 and it's difficult sometimes to get some stuff to work if I follow the steps in a video, certainly video's that are a few years old.

Hello @Lixma 06

Given the recent update to it, our DCS: F-16C manual is actually the best source to learn how to use the aircraft systems. This manual was reviewed to depict the most recent adjustments and additions. Unfortunately, some of the older videos may include some imprecisions or even incomplete procedures. Please take some time to read page 434 of this manual to confirm that indeed it's the TMS Forward press (short) that brings the ACM Bore option using the HMCS. 

Thanks for understanding.

It doesn't say short (or long) on that page - It just says 'press TMS forward'

Wags' video explicitly says 'long' - hence the confusion.

It might be relevant that in AG Vis mode a long press forward is needed to slave sensors to the helmet. In ACM Bore, slaving the antenna to the helmet, I would have thought, would also be 'protected' by a long press forward.

The manual was reviewed to reflect the logics as close as we can to the real aircraft systems.
