Since the last update, the AGM 88 firing procedure must have been modified (or bugged). Unable to lock a SAM from the "HAD" page. The HAS "SMS" mode seems to be operational (old school) but the missiles no longer hit their target.

I haven't tried with the HTS pod since the update but using POS mode works. Hit an SA 10 track radar on a pre-planned strike in that mode. 

 

Tested today with the HTS pod and HAD screen - everything was working fine for me. Could lock and engage with good hits on SA15, SA6, SA8, HQ7. I don't see why it wouldn't be working on other sites. 

Also able to use the HTS pod to get a lock on a SAM with the HAD screen, slew the TPOD onto the locked SAM, and engage with Mavs/CBU's.

Had the same thing happening to me twice today. 

A "fix" I found was to off/on the pod, after what i could lock SAMs on the HAD page

I am having this exact issue right now on the new Dragon's Fury campaign mission 4.  My HAD can't lock onto anything more than a second.  This has never been a problem before and I tried power cycling the HAD and it did not help.

I just did that mission today. I didn't have any issues with my HTS pod locking up the ship radars. 

Are you actively jamming when with the ALQ pod while trying to lock up the SAM radars in HAD mode?

I've tried a lot of manipulations and it still doesn't work! Stopping and restarting the Pod doesn't change anything. Before the last update, everything worked perfectly, but since then unfortunately nothing better..... Bug or has the firing mode really been changed voluntarily?

I can confirm the same.  IT was working as of Oct 27 but after October 30, it stopped working.  Power cycling doesn't do anything either.  HAS mode does work, just not using the HTS and HAD.

This is definitely not fixed, but I did some experimenting on mission 4 of Dragon's Fury and may have discovered something.  The mission wasn't set up with JHMCS and I had been adding it through the ground crew when the mission started.  I tried the mission again today but forgot to add the JHMCS and in this one case the HAD worked like normal and I was able to lock targets in the HAD.  I completed the mission and then tried it again with adding JHMCS in the mission planner and the HAD didn't work.  I then tried adding it on the tarmac with the ground crew and again the HAD didn't work.  I also turned off the JHMCS in flight and I still could not lock targets in the HAD.  Having the JHMCS equipped might be tied to this bug.

I tried swapping the JHMCS for NVGs and it still didn't work for me.

The bug seems to be that if you have a weapon page up on one MFD, and the HAD up on another, your HAD won't hold lock.    

 

Pretty critical bug, as that is the preferred way to get quick detects (using both sensors simultaneously). 

Yup, that would do it.  I was able to lock and hold lock on the target in the HAD when I did not have weapon page on the other MFD.
