[REPORTED]Aim-7 Radar frequency can't be set for RWS

Haven't seen this reported yet - the PRF button doesn't cycle between HI/MED/INTL when you have the AIM-7 selected. Instead it just boxes 'PDI' (which I think is what shows when you lock a target as well) - pressing it again simply returns to INTL. Track attached.

 

You can, with intermittent success, change the PRF you're using with an AIM-7 selected by first selecting the AIM-120 (even if you don't have any equipped), changing the PRF and then selecting the AIM-7 again - about 50% of the time the PRF selection will carry over, the other 50% the AIM-7 will change the default back to INTL.

Still issues with PRF selection. Even with AIM-120 you have to sometime unselect (select AIM-7 for exemple) it and reselect AIM-120 to be able to switch PRF.

[TRACK REQUIRED] Aim-7 Radar frequency can't be set for RWS

 

When selecting AIM-7 for the first time, the frequency setting for the radar stays at HI/MED. When locking something up it switches to PDI for the STT. when going back to RWS though it stays PDI and can only change to MED or PDI and can't be reset to HI/MED unless you choose another missile type, switch it and then go back to AIM-7.

OK now that I found this out that this is a bug :D let's elaborate on this a little...

 

PDI is the required mode for AIM-7 to be able to guide, therefore is applied on STT lock. But this mode should be exclusive to AIM-7 selection, right?

 

If I have AIM120 selected, Hi/MED PRF selection should still be applied, as it does not require a PDI radar mode to intercept, only a track file and mid-course updates. Correct?

 

The problem I see is that either in AIM7 or AIM120 selected, we talk about 'STT' lock. According to this, these should be pretty much separated in language, as we are having PDI and STT.

 

STT also applies on any other given ACM modes, but as soon as you select AIM-7, it enters PDI, and the other way around it goes to [not]PDI if you have aim9 or aim120 selected.

 

What I am curious about, is how it SHOULD work?
