Late activated AWACS still showing as an available host

[Surrexen]

If I have 2 AWACS planes of E-3A type, and one is activated and the other is late activated but not yet triggered, both are selectable as a host for data link from the F-14B.

IIRC, this needs to be that way because that can't be changed in the game.

I'm not sure I understand, what exactly cannot be changed in the game? If I am in the F-14 I can tell Jester to select a datalink host. When I go to this on the radial menu both the activated E-3A and the non activated E-3A are selectable. Problem is if both planes are called the same thing, you have no way of knowing which one is active and which one is not.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the Kneeboard.
