reported AIM-9X Entirely Breaks After Fuel Jettison

[Teriander]

Aim-9X F-18C Bug.  

Problem - AIM-9X will cease to operate under certain conditions after jettison of fuel tanks.  The missile will not attempt to detect heat sources, stop following HMD, and will not fire. Works best for me when armed with 6 AIM-9X, Centerline tank, and 6 AIM-120s. Other conditions may work also. 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Turn on your HMD (tested with HMD set to blank)
2. Check Master ARM ON.
3. Check your fuel tank Jettison is set to the centerline and the knob is not set to safe.
4. Happens the most often after engaging 2 bandits, so make sure you have fired 2 AIM-9X now. 
5. While still in AIM-9X mode, jettison your fuel tank now.
6. Your AIM-9X should no longer function.

Track attached to demonstrate the issue.

Thanks - Reported.

It seems it may only be one station affected - you can cycle stations using weapon select on HOTAS, and the other stations will operate.
