fixed MFD Missing INV Option in some cases

[32_fps]

Recently picked up f16c and was flying missions with it

I believe this MFD page is missing the INV option where my cursor hovers (first image)

With the INV option invisible, that is if i push the button where the INV option is supposed to be it still takes me back to the SMS page where it allows me to switch between missiles and guns, but I just can not physically see the option

This is with preset mission loadout with 2 AMRAAMs and 4 9Xs

INV option is invisible for both AA and AG master modes

However, when I load up another mission with training missiles and bombs, the INV option is visible again (second image)

I think this is more likely to be a bug than a feature 

Edit: I have loaded the same missions multiple times and what I said above still is the case

Correction:

For both mission loadouts the INV option does not show like in the first image from the post above.

Button works, but no text there.

Checked, INV subpage of SMS should be accessible and its label displayed in all master modes except the jettisons and BIT. In NAV mode the INV subpage is automatically selected.

In the first image I think I was in dogfight mode and got to the INV subpage by pressing SMS at the bottom of the MFD.  I was unable to see the INV label which takes me back to SMS page.  Compare the first image I posted with the image below taken from the F16C manual, where the INV is displayed.

 

Unless this is a feature or am I missing something?

I was checking how the real airplane is and agreeing there is a bug.

SMS OSB1 label should be:

• Blank in SMS OFF dispaly
• "STBY" in NAV or in INV with not zero stations selected [1]
• "S-J" in selective jettison
• "E-J" in emergency jettison
• "AAM" in AA master mode with missile selected [2]
• "GUN" in AA or AG master mode with gun selected [2]
• "MSL" in missile override mode [2]
• "DGFT" in dogfight override mode [2]
• "A-G" in AG master mode with not gun selected [2]

1. *OSBs 16, 17, 18, 19, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 20 for stations 1-9 and cannon respectively
2. **Not in INV with any stations selected

DCS behavior which seems not correct:

• OSB1 "NAV" label in NAV master mode should be "STBY"
• OSB4 blank label flashes reverse video when pressed in NAV, should not
• OSB4 reverse video "INV" label vanishes when SMS in MSL or DGFT mode, label should be "INV" in reverse video identical to AA and AG modes
• It's minor but in real airplane the white rectangle which highlights near the label to show pilot he has pressed the OSB is not aligned with the label text perfectly. It should be a little lower for OSB1 and 4 (pilot can see the flash below his finger).
• I know it's not attempted but when in INV it should be possible to highlight the 10 weapon stations and change or clear the inventory to other weapons. I hope this feature is added like A-10C and A-10C2.

INV option reported for investigation. 

For any other issue it would be best to make a new report with any evidence. 

thank you
