Changing to A/A when starting a CAS mission prevents A/G radar from being set.

[fencible]

I am probably missing some technical step, but when I start the first of the supplied F-4E missions set in the Marianas (a CAS mission), Jester has the radar in air-to-ground mode.

I ask him to change to air-to-air while flying to the battle area in order to keep an eye out for traffic ahead.

When we go into attack, and switch to air-to-ground, Jester keeps the radar in air-to-air mode and I can not find a means to get him to change back to air-to-ground. This obviates the use of Dive Toss mode.

What am I doing wrong?

Could you share a precise list of steps, a video or a quick track file? A screenshot of the WSO pit could also solve the mystery.

That would be super helpful, thanks!

When you are saying you change AA or AG, are you talking about the HUD Mode? Jester operates based on the Delivery Selector.

If you have missiles selected as active perhaps it won't allow you to switch? If you turn the Delivery Selector to B for a few seconds and then back again does it allow the switch to A/G?

It could also be that Jester is currently on the TV page because of a bug (fixed in the upcoming patch) when moving the knob to DT through TGT FIND.

Theres lots of possibilities and some extra material like screenshots, video, track, list of steps to reproduce, would likely expose the issue immediately
