fixed TWS manual target promotion not bugging a selected contact

[Moonshine]

When manually promoting a contact in TWS, bugging a contact manually doesn't work. TMS Up promotes the contact through its states:

TMS Up (on the contact with the radar cursor) first time -> Search Target to Tracked Target

TMS Up (on the contact with the radar cursor) second time -> Tracked Target to System Target

then the issue:

with TMS Up (on the contact with the radar cursor) again we should be able to "bug" the Target and get Launch and Steering information. yet that doesn't work. also not possible to get into an STT at all. the only thing that will bug a Target is TMS right, which promotes all Contacts to the next state.

Hi, 

we have been checking this, but seems ok for us

[Moonshine]

interesting. ill try to reinstall the module and check again. as you can see from the track, the target i want to bug then "disappears" completely, only to reappear as a System Track after pressing TMS aft again. Thanks anyways

remove any unofficial mods if any, and run a repair or verify if steam. 

then retry, if you still have problems please let us know

[Moonshine]

so after reinstalling the module and testing again i found the following:

the issue seems to only occur the very first time when trying to bug a contact. if the contact has been bugged using TMS right, then degrading it to a System track again and afterwards promoting it with TMS Up will work. but trying to promote a target manually with TMS up repeatedly from the moment it appears as a brick on the radar, bugging it wont work and the contact disappears completely from the radar until TMS aft is pressed again. see trackfile attached

Edit: Issue persists after clean-up and repair, see Test3 attachment

It's weird. happens to me as well. stepping through 4 targets in TWS with TMS right makes them disappear somehow and doesn't show guidance info for the amraam. undesignate and then repeating the process seems to work.... but the first step through makes them disappear.

If a contact is bugged in SAM mode, using TMS right long to swtich to TWS, bugging also fails (sometimes).

We will keep an eye on this, but QA have also checked and was not able to reproduce.

I notice that too, seems to be something that happening when you are maneuvering hard, but not sure

Happens in straight and level flight too, see my track above

I have reproduced but it only seems to happen sometimes for me, the team will take a closer look. 

thanks
