S1 Sensor Selection is unable to change MFDs if a target is locked in STT

[SuumCuique]

If a target is locked in single target track (STT) S1 left and S1 right stops working. It is not possible to select the left and right MFD anymore. S1 can still be used to switch between the center MFD and the HUD.

in the HOTAS map, most of S2 keys are not defined in STT mode.

Slightly off-topic, but entering ACM using S1 FWD also makes it impossible to change SOI, and if the bottom MFD isn't SOI when in ACM, then you cannot change DGFT modes with S2.

Oh my god is this why I’ve been struggling to change ACM modes all this time?!?!?!?! Great catch!

I would start a second thread just to make sure deka sees this

So is that a bug of the DCS module, or just how it works in the real plane? It appears like a weird oversight, if you were unable to manipulate other sensors like the WMD-7 or HSD with a locked target.

 

If this is intended behaviour for the real plane, then it is fine, even if it is weird.

I would say that is it how it works in Real Life. Look at the HOTAS Scheme
