Mavericks return to Stores screen after pickle.

[lennycutler]

In the latest Beta version issued on 5/23/2018 when I set up my Mavericks for a run on 4 tanks, once I fire the first Mav, the MFD shifts back to the stores screen....I then have to recage the mav, make the IMRV active adjust fov and pickle....prior to the latest version and in 2.5.1....once I engage with the first mav the screen stays in the correct Mav uncaged view, I just adjust fov if needed and pickle.

 

I see no one else commenting on this change....which does appear to me to be unintended and perhaps a bug.

 

Can others confirm this behavior? I tried this with AGM65-G and AGM 65-D...not yet tried the other Mavs.

I'm thinking the MPCD behavior after firing Maverick has to do with this experience you are having.

 

 

From your post I am understanding it this way...

 

 

You find target

You designated target

You switched to Mavericks

Mav was uncaged and slaved to your target

You fired Mav

Next Mav in line appears to be caged giving you default to stores page

 

 

 

 

Does that seem correct?

It's intended behaviour, the next Maverick remains caged, so the stores page is displayed until you uncage it and there is a video feed.

 

 

After firing ... "The next missile is selected but since it is caged, video feed is not available."
