reported earlier TGT designationcauses loss of CCIP

[Rongor]

In this video you can see:

1. HUD is active SOI

2. TDC depress over that airfield

3. symbology switches to CCRP (AUTO)

4. I reaffirm CCIP in the stores

5. HUD and TGP switch to a moving target in 3 NM distance. It's the CCIP.

 

I recorded cropped in 1080 resolution, as DCS is running on 4k and recording the whole screen would have caused a slideshow and a cockpit barely readable...

 

The track is rather lengthy...

CCIPTGP.trk

 

I can't find this in the manual:

1. Is the delivery mode supposed to switch from CCIP to CCRP automatically upon designating a point?

2. When the HUD symbology switches to AUTO, there is still the CCIP program displayed in the stores

3. Reaffirming the CCIP mode in the stores drops the designated target, instead HUD, HSI and TGP are apparently following the CCIP solution. Is this intended?

I can't replicate it on my rig (latest OB).

Starting my mission in the air. In NAV mode, I could not designate any point on the ground using HUD or HMD. I could definitely designate a point with WPDSG, radar or FLIR.

Regardless whether I try it before or after A/G master mode.

yes, you are right, I will change the topic title again. I temporarily was under the impression that the current mode would affect the problem...

You should not be able to be in CCIP with a target designated. The only bug here is that you can re-select CCIP to display the CCIP symbology again. What should happen is even re-selecting CCIP does nothing here, and it remains in AUTO. The only way to go back is to undesignate the target.

We do have a report open currently about this, 

 

if you select CCIP there is no designation, we are looking into the behaviour when trying to switch from AUTO to CCIP

 

Thanks
