What difference does it make which FCR you use first? What does this have to do with anything?
It has everything to do with it since I'm saying there is nothing to prevent the crew of a real FFG7 from using the CAS before using the STIR. Unlike in DW where there is a line of code that says the CAS dosn't become useable in the missile control pannel until STIR is in CWI Mode, while at the same time its fully useable from Gun Control. The CAS is fully useable without the STIR system being even functional.[/quote]
Still, so what? The functionality of both FCRs are the same. If either of them is assigned to an object, an SM-2 is allowed to be fired and guided. It makes no difference in the sim which is assigned, so even if you were able to use the CAS first, nothing would change. You might as well be bitching about the graphics.
