Raid/FOV button does not change FOV or modes in TGP or ATFLIR

What's expected;

Per Chuck's guide pages 263 (TGP) and 300 (FLIR),

For TGP, 
•RAID/FLIR Field of View Select Button Short Hold Toggles
Wide/Narrow field of view
•RAID/FLIR Field of View Select Button Long Hold Toggles TV
( Charged coupled Device) and FLIR ( Infrared) modes

For FLIR, 
•RAID/FLIR Field of View Select Button Short Hold Toggles
Wide/Narrow/Medium field of view
•RAID/FLIR Field of View Select Button Long Hold Toggles TV
and FLIR ( Infrared) modes

 

What happens; 
With sensor select on the TGP or FLIR DDI; looking around at targets or doing nothing in particular, nothing happens with short or long presses of the RAID/FOV button. 

How to recreate,
Flying any mission, using the TGP or FLIR, short presses do not change FOV, and long presses do not change mode. 

I have confirmed that the Raid/FOV button is assigned in DCS to the button I am pushing and the button press registers in DCS by highlighting the command when pushed.

Hi Damien,

i did a test with both TPODs, no problems here (short press FOV, long press changes TV/IR modes).

Do you have Mavericks loaded? FOV Button don't work with TPOD then, only with Maverick FOV.

Do you have any Maverick missiles on the jet?   

If you have mavericks selected as weapon, the RAID/FLIR takes priority to the Maverick's Wide/Narrow view, no matter what ddi the Sensor Select diamond is.

Yes, in fact, that seems to be the problem. I did in fact have mavs onboard and selected.. Thank you both for your input.

But this happens EVEN when I have laser mavericks-which do not have a seeker that displays on the MDI. I cannot change zoom on TGP on the other MDI. And even when the ADM-65E is not selected as a weapon.

That is the way it is, at least in DCS. Having any AGM-65 variant ON BOARD makes the RAID/FOV switch INOP for the FLIR.
