Guns: Can't lock target while holding 1st trigger detent

[Lixma 06]

So apparently the current method of having to hold the trigger safety open to obtain a computed gun pipper is wrong and will be changed to a toggle switch in a future patch.

Okay...but there remains an issue. If you lose target lock while in 1st stage the pipper reverts to a funnel - but - you can't re-lock your target from there. You need to release 1st stage and go back to CC and then you can attempt to re-lock your target.

Thus the Mig-29 pilot is expected to constantly flip/un-flip the gun safety every time he wants to re-lock a target during a gunzo encounter. This doesn't sound plausible.

The FC3 Mig-29 does allow you to re-lock from the funnel which I suspect is the correct behaviour; certainly it makes more sense to me.

I’m not sure this is incorrect. Combat employment says nothing. 
 

You can always use coop with rest in dummy do if one sensor loses lock the other will pick it up

It depends on which hardware you use: for me in practice it already acts as just like it does in the real aircraft, but with just requiring 1 keybind instead of 2.

It's just that the wording is misleading.

And yes it’s fairly annoying to always have to flip the trigger back up every time the radar loses lock (which is quite often but that’s another topic entirely).
