investigating Aim9M seeker (cooled) gets back to warm mode when stepping to different AA weapon an back (Aim9x does not) - bug or not?

[darkman222]

When using Aim9M or Aim9L sidewinders the Aim9LM comes with a warm seeker. If I press "warm" on the MFD it is set to be cooled. Now I switch to another AA weapon (Missile Step on the Hotas). Might be a 9x or a AIM120. The seeker of the 9LM is being set back to warm. But if I try the same with the 9X the seeker stays cool.

Intended behavior or bug? Is the warm/cool behavior modelled in game anyway?!

Hi, 

when the inventory is changed on any AIM-9L/M stations all AIM-9L/M will go to Warm status. They then need to be manually set to COOL 

Thanks

I will run this by the team as it has been questioned again. 

thanks

Thank you!

It does not make too much sense in my mind if it does not work the same way for the 9x. So  I was wondering if it was really that inconsistent in the real jet.
