Potential CPL autopilot issue with JDAMS?

I have been having issues with CPL mode not enabling after dropping JDAMS. (Most likely I'm doing something wrong, lol)

  1. I select the Waypoint
  2. STORES - into the JDAM page - set to TOO and get ready to capture COORDS
  3. I go into the HSI and click WPDSG
  4. Confirm COORDS updated in STORE page for JDAM
  5. I fly to the target - employ my weapon 
  6. Switch to my outbound waypoint
  7. Look at HSI - click WAY to box it
  8. Click A/P, CPL, but the | next to it doesn't appear and I can no longer get it to turn to waypoints.

Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? It's almost as if the flight computer is stuck in TGT mode even though it's not.

Tested - if you set the JDAM WPDSG in MODE of MAN it works fine... but,

 

If you set the MODE to FD it gets 'stuck' and you can no longer use CPL mode

That'll be because FD mode (not yet implemented) can be used with the AP via the same CPL. 

Does it return to normal when you select MAN or AUTO?

Ahhh that checks out!! But, it appears once I drop the last bomb, I can no longer get into the STORES page to change it from FD to either MAN or AUTO. 

 

...or at least I can't figure out how to get back into the page to switch it!

Best bet would just be to leave FD alone I think
