I usually tilt my head down and left and have no issues. A track or a screen of your center head position may help, but ultimately everyone will probably have a different saved cockpit view for their personal preference.
AFAIK the WCMD dispensers (-103/-105) can interface with the aircraft on the data bus so they can configure the burst altitude (for both) and spin setting (for the -103) from the cockpit.
I believe -87 and -97 are set on the canister.
Need some more info here:
- What is your definition of "very normal" Gs for a turn?
- Is the Stores Config switch set to CAT I or CAT III?
- How is the aircraft loaded?
- What altitude are the turns being executed?
A track replay would answer all these.
The only way for an L&S to not exist in TWS is for no valid trackfile to exist. TWS always tries to have an L&S present at all times, this is correct as per the radar manual.
L&S can only be removed manually in RWS with the RSET option.
