investigating Sparrow LOFT HOTAS command overridden by HARM

[Wesjet]

[Potential] Issue: 

When flying with AIM-7 sparrow loaded and selected as the current weapon, and HARM on board, the CAGE/UNCAGE button no longer toggles the NORM/LOFT mode of the AIM-7 Sparrow while in A/A mode, unless the HARM is manually set to PB via HARM DISPLAY.

 

Wondering if this may be related to HARM OVERRIDE. Reason being, HARM OVERRIDE is unboxed (allowing HARM take-over) when in A/A mode and it cannot be re-boxed. Returning to the DDI menu and selecting HARM DISPLAY, and then changing the HARM to PB mode (thereby not leaving A/A mode) returns function of the CAGE/UNCAGE button to toggle Sparrow NORM/LOFT.

 

Conditions:

• Aim-7 Sparrow as current weapon
• A/A Master Mode
• HARM loaded on any pylon
• HARM set either SP or TOO mode via HARM DISPLAY (remain in A/A mode)

• Track attached
