fixed FCR broken with DOGFIGHT SWITCH set to DOGFIGHT or MISSILE OVERRIDE on mission start

[CoconutCockpit]

The FCR appears to be broken when a mission is started and the DOGFIGHT SWITCH is either set to DOGFIGHT mode or MISSILE OVERRIDE mod. This happens when the jet is started in the air, on the runway or hot on the ground. This does not happen when a cold start is performed.

 

Version:

DCS v2.7.10869 Open Beta

 

Pre-requisites:

• Synchronize Cockpit controls with HOTAS Controls at Mission Start is checked in Options > Misc.

 

Reproducible:

100%

 

Reproduce steps:

• Make a mission
• Add F-16C, set to player
• Start either in air or hot start on the ground
• Make sure DOGFIGHT SWITCH is set to either MISSILE OVERRIDE or DOGIFGHT mode before starting the mission
• Start mission
• Return DOGFIGHT SWITCH to center position

 

Observed result:

The MFD with the FCR shows NOT SOI and the blue carets don't move. There is no cursor on the screen. Functionality returns when DOGFIGHT mode or MISSILE OVERRIDE mode are active, but never in NAV mode. Turning the FCR off and back on doesn't fix the issue. 

 

This issue only happens when started hot on the ground or in the air. When doing a cold start with the DOGFIGHT SWITCH set to MISSILE OVERRIDE, the HUD showed NAV when turned on. After take and returning the DOGFIGHT SWITCH to the center position, the FCR continued working. When switching it back to MISSILE OVERRIDE, the FCR flashed "OFF" for a split second before returning to normal. 

 

Expected result:

FCR functions as normal in all modes.
