It just comes on sometimes.

It indicates your payload doesn't match the FBW G Limiter AA/Charges switch setting.

Anything other than A/A missiles + empty central fuel tank requires to be in "Charges" mode.

Therefore, if you start your flight with a non-empty central fuel tank and A/A missiles you'll be in "Charges" (limited to 6G). When that tank comes empty the CONF light will light up and, you'll be able to go to "A/A" (limited to 9G).

If you fly with the switch set to "A/A" and CONF is illuminated, you risk create damage to the airframe or lose your payload.

 

P.S.: read manual p46

Oh ok, I thought that wasn't functional in 1.5.3 release version. But ok will remember to switch after jettisoning fuel tank from now on.

Just remember You dont need to jettison the Centerline External tank to enter AA config.

 

As long as its empty of fuel its light enough.

 

So when your centerline is empty you should change to AA config.

(as the CONF warning light will be lit if you are not in AA config at that point)

i leave it in AA mode all the time with the light on...this way if i get shot at it self jettison's most the time.
