LTRMcrew Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Hi All, I had an issue last night with the new update with the undesignated button which I didn't have before. When in a/a tws radar and there are contacts that have boxes (don't know the right term) the expected reaction to undesignate button is for the tws selection/primary to cycle through these "boxes"; this no longer happens... nothing happens with undesignate. The second issue which seems to have come up is the locks don't seem to undesignate; I had an aim-9m lock with a friendly tanker while pursuing a mig23, the mig had the box in the hud with triangle, and I realized the 9m was not locked on the mig as the lock circle was off to the side, so I hit the undesignate expecting it to drop the tanker and reaquire the mig which was in the 9m hud circle. Apparently it didn't drop the tanker because the undesignate doesn't seem to react with the radar. So to summary undesignate is not working with the a/a radar. I did verify keybind was correct. I did verify the button works as NWS steering works. Tried on two different servers, same result. I did not save the trk. 2
Harker Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 Tested yesterday, worked OK for me. Are you sure you had TDC priority to the radar display?

Just starting to fly F18. Had same experience asOP. Harker, can you elaborate on “making TDC priority to the radar”? Night Ops in the Harrier IYAOYAS
Tholozor Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Use the Sensor Control Switch (SCS) to assign the TDC. TDC assignment is denoted by a diamond in the top-right of the page on the display. If the radar is on the right DDI, press SCS Right to assign the TDC to it.

So that's not the issue. Night Ops in the Harrier IYAOYAS
LTRMcrew Posted February 8, 2021 Author Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) As a follow up, I did not have the issue over the weekend. Which is bizarre as I'm fairly practiced with the hornet so it wasn't a user error; if I didn't have the DDI SOI at first I'm sure I would've double checked that to trouble shoot. The only thing I didn't try is resetting the GEN's which sometimes resolves bugs in flight. So I dunno what the issue was... bug in the update maybe but it doesn't last? Might just be one of those things that are bugged after update, but after a restart or two it gets settled. Edited February 8, 2021 by LTRMcrew
