Trouble un-designating "FRIENDS" only while in TWS

NWS/undesignate pushbutton works fine to cycle targets while in TWS but once I inadvertantly lock up a "FRIEND" I can't seem to unsedignate without selecting "SIL" OSB or turning radar to standby momentarily. 

Has anyone else had this issue? I thought previously that there may have been more discussion about it but I can't seem to find anything.

You can also move the horizontal or vertical scan outside of the target area..l

Use RESET on OSB 14 of the radar.  That will remove whatever L+S and/or DT2 targets you have assigned.

 

I understand that would work as would selecting silent for a time or temporarily turning the radar off but surely I should be able to simply “undesignate”. Is it not possible that this is a bug?

Nope.  Apparently it is correct as is.  In TWS the NWS/Undesignate button sets highest priority track under sweep as L+S, cycles between 8 highest priority targets, or swaps L+S and DT2 if both are set.  So no really no way for it to be used to undesignate.

Of course, that does make sense now that you put it that way. Thanks.

Undesignate does function to “undesignate” in A-G mode, STT and RWS, but in TWS it serves only to cycle through tracks as stated above. 

It steps L&S in RWS as well, provided LTWS is selected.

How comes , when cycling tracks, friendly aircrafts are designated in the first place ?

Friendly aircraft should be the lowest priority to be designated when stepping through tracks.

I don't believe this is the case in DCS.

Good point. I would also think IFF should prevent locking on \ shooting any radar guided middle to a friend.   

This is not the case IRL, there are a lot of measures in place to prevent fratricide but ID does not inhibit launch.
