lock on targets

anybody know how to lock on targets? AA and AG modes? Cant seem to figure this one out.

Lock button is binded to Enter.

A/G mode not implemented YET in earl access.

AA you roll the designator over and designate. It's called something like throttle designator in the HOTAS section of the commands; you'll recognize it when you see it. You'll probably be wanting to add those to your HOTAS configuration. Undesignate is on the pinkie switch, select that and you'll return to search. If there is a way to bug targets without locking I haven't figured it out yet.

Aim 9s you need to uncage it when you get the tone. Uncage is also a binding.

And for AG, currently you can designate via the HUD. Castle switch forward to assign TDC to the HUD, then a designation pipper should appear on the HUD. It is not currently slewable, but you can use it anyway for AUTO release.

The target point is slewable via the HOTAS TDC after the designation in auto mode. Or did you mean the pipper itself?

I meant the pipper (reticle), before designation. From my understanding of the explanation in the early access guide, and of the INS HUD update (per the manual). I had no idea the target point was slewable after designation, though, I will try this. Information on weapons systems is still scarce ATM (to me at least).

You need to watch this: (F-15 RWS "how-to" video)

Wags did a training video for both CCIP and AUTO:

Slewing the target point is (very brief) at 12:13:

CCIP - Continuously computed impact point

AUTO - same as CCRP - Continuously computed release point

Do you guys find slewing the box in auto mode too sensitive? I use saitek 52 throttle and forward fingers 4-way switch. It can't be precise enough, too fast even for short switch touch. And its sensitivity can't be adjusted since it's not an axis...

Is there/would there be a ground stabilization function to the TDC slew? It could be my hotas, I find it difficult to get precise and slow movements of the target designation box on a set target on the ground after designation. TDC box is quite jumpy.
