reported FCR - CRM mode in Air to Ground master mode

[Furiz]

@Raptor9 I think this is what we were talking about,

 

When AGM-65 is switched from VIS to PRE mode FCR goes in CRM mode rather than GM mode, done with cold aircraft on the ground.

Hey. I recall this happening to me and thanks to your thread I remembered it. This works if you have ever entered any A/G radar modes.
So, when you switch main modes while your FCR is in AGR, it will remember the radar mode in prior to AGR and return to it when you switch weapon mode. But that breaks when you switch to another master mode because it replaces whatever radar settings you had before entering AGR (GMT -> RWS for example). It works with any weapon and even with HUD mark (as it forces FCR into AGR mode).

@Furiz, thank you for the track.

Do you have any mods installed? I tried to reproduce the issue following your steps during a cold start but I could not get the FCR to go to CRM when entering EO-PRE.

Only UH-60 and Herc, they don't affect Viper but I can try it without those.

Don't know if you did anything with the FCR prior to Maverick mode change. I noticed that if you change any modes on the FCR before changing to EO-PRE it will not go to CRM on the FCR. It will behave as expected. So basically do not touch anything, just power it it up and wait for it to come online.

So just go straight into EO-PRE without touching the FCR modes or anything? I'll give it another go in a bit. Thanks.

@Furiz and @Opesher, I was able to reliably reproduce this issue internally during cold starts and air starts, with several combinations of A-G sub-modes.

This issue is now reported. Thank you for your time and assistance; this was a little obscure.
