Possible issue with multi-role loadout?

[feefifofum]

Hey all,

I have noticed that when I am carrying Magics on my outer pylons, and Mk82s everywhere else, that after dropping my Mk82s in TAS mode I am no longer able to slew my RADAR cursor to lock A-A targets after switching back to Magics, or use the A-A RADAR at all.

 

I've taken the RADAR out of TAS, tried cycling SIL/EM, and selected and deselected the Magic IIs both directly through the PCA and through the HOTAS Magic II select.

 

The special modes fwd/aft do not appear to work in this case, either, and RADAR AAQ doesn't lock a target. The Magic II seeker will still lock and fire, but the RADAR appears to be completely nonfunctional.

 

Is this a bug or am I doing something stupid?

 

Thanks! :)

 

EDIT: It should be noted that I've had no issues using the A-A RADAR after firing S530Ds from the inner wing pylons, only after dropping bombs.

Had the same issue with using TAS for rockets, I think this has been internally fixed.

Also, when you have that problem, try to turn the approach mode on and off, this helped in my case.

Radar stuck in TAS after selecting AA weapons is a bug. I have fixed it in development.

 

So far the only fix available to you is to select POL, which will "unstuck" the radar back to AA mode.

Thanks for the fast reply, Zeus and Mr. Dragon!

 

I did try switching in and out of POL mode but to no avail, happy to wait for a fix if it is indeed a bug.

 

You guys have done some incredible work with these latest updates, the implementation of the INS and AACQ is a huge landmark for this bird. I have really been enjoying flying her in 1.5.4 :)

that's a really old bug
