fixed Losing lock in DM or DG does not revert back acquisition phase

[escaner]

In Dogfight Missile or Dogfight Guns modes with a target locked, when the radar loses lock, it displays search mode with 10NM (DM) or 5NM (DG) range instead of the one selected by the Radar Range Selector knob. Moving this control resets the radar range to the correct value. But as far as weapon release, a dogfight mode is still engaged and air to ground weapons cannot be released until the Dogfight/Resume Search switch is set to Resume Search.

 

The correct behavior would be to display back the Acquisition phase of the selected dogfight mode.

It has been 14 moths since I reported this problem but it still persists.

I have made a video showing it:

Now that there seems to be some F-5 love again, maybe you could look into this 4 year old bug report that never got any answered or fixed. I am attaching a track that basically does the same as in the first message description and the video.

 

Thank you.

Hey escaner, this was reported way back when, but it hasnt been moved to our new reporting system, I have now moved it, updated it, and elevated the priority. I still have no idea when it will get looked at, but least you have a response now, so hope that helps some. Thanks.

@escaner This should now be fixed in OB 2.8.7.42583.
