reported earlier Drop tank jettison switches TWS to RWS

[bop1701]

After latest update, I noticed my FCR was switching from TWS to RWS without me doing it, and happening several times in a few minutes.  So far the input combination I've found is when jettisoning the centerline drop tank; there must be others though and working on it.   SMS page, S-J page, select centerline station, press weapons release to jettison the tank, and TWS goes to RWS.  There must be other combinations since you can only drop a tank once, but that's what I've found so far.

Hi, nearly all page changes will switch TWS to RWS, not matter if you are in NAV, AA or AG mode, Change your Page = go to RWS.

???  I don't remember that but I've been on the F5 and F4 for a bit.  Has it always been like that?  

 

Thanks for the info

What I've said could be misleading that this is how it should work, but that's not the case.

It's by 100 % a bug.

The right behavior was, you could set the FCR pages (NAV and AA) to the TWS mode, and no matter to what page you switched after that (TGP, AG RADAR, BIT, etc.) the TWS mode was there after you returned to the FCR page. E.g. you have set the FCR Page to RWS using the NAV mode and set the AA FCR Page to TWS, both settings were fixed no matter how often and to which other page you would have switched.

Right now, every page change will force to the RWS mode, but it shouldn't.

+1 I use DCSDTC for my MFD's in the Viper and I've encountered the same problem. I set up the FCR to use TWS, 80nm and 30 degrees azimuth but then it switches pages to NAV and it is back on RWS.

Thanks Nedum - have a good one
