Unless I have AG stores on board I cannot get the AG radar modes to work. Am I doing something wrong here? If not then to me this is a bug.

With a clean Guns only aeroplane all I can get is AGR.

I see no logical reason why I cannot use the AG radar modes say in a clean aeroplane.

IvanK,

I hear ya, but here's how it's done.

Go to Nav mode, hold shift + keypad enter then press F2 or press the buttons around the MFD.

How the pilot does it in the real plane? I'm not sure.

When you select A-G mode, it figures you want to attack A-G. It therefore selects your only A-G weapon - the gun in STRF mode.

The computer/radar is too busy computing bullet trajectories to scan, process and display GM/GMT tracks - strafing is done visually.

For another example, take up some slicks and switch to CCIP mode - you lose the sweep there too for the exact same reason - it's computing impact points.

If you want a ground paint without being in a CCRP delivery mode, go back to NAV (or A-A, but I wouldn't recommend it) master mode (take it out of A-G) and manually select GM/GMT radar by calling up the FCR page on an MFD, then hit OSB1 (left button on the top row) to bring up the menu of radar modes, and select Gm/GMT/SEA as desired.
