This is what is confusing is, i set it up exactly as everyone does in different videos and guides and it still blinks but never locks. I have not seen targets that arent blinking for some reason. When I use the Jester AI, the problem isnt there which just confuses me more because he used TWS Auto and that is it and it isnt blinking and gives a TTI number when a shot is launched. I feel like it may be a setting or something but I want to make sure that it is a problem before I report it as so. I know that I am new to DCS and the F-14B so I may just be missing something which is why I asked here to make sure.

I am doing this as RIO, Pilot saw them blinking as well. We would have targets that are 50+ nm out and when TWS auto would target them, they would be blinking. Based on what I read in the manual, they should blink when they are within 8 seconds of impact, see snip from manual below. I feel like I am missing something. Can someone please explain why the contact symbol is blinking when trying to lock them with TWS auto, also when an AM-54 was launched, it would not start a countdown or track the target at all. I would really appreciate some clarity, I hope it is something that I missed when reading the manual.
