NWS long press doesn't only switch missiles but also switches NWS on and off?

Hi, probably more of a question to former F-16 mechanics or even pilots, is this behaviour realistic when taxiing? :huh: (Possibly F-16 pilots IRL are not supposed to change missile-selection on the ground? :P )

So Frederf, you're also saying with WOW and AR door closed, missile-switching shouldn't work at all by long-pressing NWS button?

So this means we can make a bugreport about this, or?

Aahaaa, then I guess F-16 pilots irl are not supposed to long press NWS button on the ground.

Holding NWS button to do NWS stuff is a thing, the dash 1 mentions it. I would be very surprised if pressing that button on the ground would do *any* of the tactical functions. I'm trying to think if there's any situation where you'd need the tactical functions of that button on the ground and couldn't do the same thing with OSBs and I'm coming up blank.

 

The button is time shared between functions A (NWS) B (A/R) and C (weapons) and when it's doing function A it never affects B & C. When doing function B it never affects A & C. When doing function C it never affects A & B.

Aaaah so then it must be a bug currently (if funct. C never affects A&B, what I guess you meant in the end and accidentally wrote "C never affects B&C)

Not a bug currently. It will do all A, B and C simultaneously if in a master mode that it can do so.

Aaaaah thank you!! Finally cleared this, so F-16 pilots would never switch to A2A master mode on the ground I think (or never long-press NWS on ground). Nice! :)
