correct as-is Cannot Lock Aerial Target in A/G Master Mode

[Wesjet]

Latest update from this morning Open Beta 2.9.2.49940.

Problem: When in A/G master mode the radar is unable to lock on to an air target. No active master mode / NAV and AA master modes work fine as expected.

This issues existed prior to this mornings patch on Open Beta 2.9.2.49629 as well, thought it was related to the A/G ground radar targeting issue that was fixed and was going to post both issues until I saw the patch notes for 49940. Testing this morning the A/G ground radar issue was fixed per the changelog, leaving this A/G master mode - air target issue.

Test mission & track file are attached.

Hi 

I am sorry but please PM me any evidence that you should be able to lock an air target in Air to ground master mode. 

thanks

Exactly - I flew the Hornet back in the early 2000's.  I'm pretty sure it's not possible to use the radar in an air-to-air mode (let alone STT) while in AG MASTER mode.

According to documentation, STT should indeed be not available when in the A/G master mode.

You can switch to the A/A radar by selecting AIR, but the only modes available are RWS and VS (no TWS, since trackfiles are not build in A/G master mode). Automatic acquisition modes, as well as STT, are unavailable.
