fixed CMDS SEMI/AUTO inhibits manual dispensing (incl. slap switch) when expendable is in bingo quantity

[itn]

Hi,

When in CMDS SEMI or AUTO, manual dispensing is not allowed when expendable is in bingo quantity or below. Note: I do NOT refer to the consent-based or automatic dispensing. I refer to dispensing manual programs 1-4 using CMS forward or program 5 using slap switch while in CMDS SEMI or AUTO mode.

I believe this to be wrong, and my understanding is CMDS should inhibit only the consent-based and automatic dispensing when expendable is in bingo quantity or below. Manual dispensing using CMS forward and the slap switch should work all the way to zero expendables left just like in MAN mode.

[EDIT: Also affected is program 6 using CMS left]

Cycling the dispensers reset bingo as it should, and after that manual programs work again, as demonstrated in the SEMI track below.

Attached are two tracks, 1) SA-11 and CMDS AUTO 2) SEMI and no threats.

Hi, 

do you have any evidence you can PM to me so I can run it by the team. 

thanks

@BIGNEWY this a something different, but somewhat related. Don't know if it's a bug, but or WIP or if it behaves as intended.

When the systems runs a dispense program (tested in semi, after giving consent), you cannot put out a manual program as long as the system program runs.
Let's say you have Flares on a manual program and you give consent for the system to dispense chaff. If you now see a heatseeker coming in you have to wait until chaff program is finished. that seems unrealsitic. I would assume that manual would override system program, or that both programs run at the same time.

Not sure to be honest, I would need to ask the team or see some evidence either way. Teams are on a break until the 10th for xmas currently but I will see what I can find.
