Air to ground radar will not work without transitioning from air to air radar. Is that correct?

Air to ground radar will not work without transitioning from air to air radar. Is that correct? Do the test, take off with the radar off, activate the air ground attack mode, turn on the radar and you will see that it does not scan.

I am fairly sure that's a bug. I mean, it does switch to A-G mode automatically, it just doesn't really work.

You have to activate the radar first, before selecting the air ground mode, otherwise it will not work. There are times when I have air-to-ground mode selected, turn on radar to scan the terrain, and have to go back to air-to-air mode to get it to work. I find it hard to believe this would happen in a real Hornet.

I think a more suitable description of the issue would be: "Radar does not function if SURF is selected before radar knob is placed to OPR".

Exactly. You have understood. Thank you very much!

It remains to be seen if it is correct, or if it is an error.
