Hey there!

It looks like patch 2.9.16.10523 messed CMS programms for F/A-18C.

By default, MAN 2 is used on CMS AFT after the ALE-47 is initially switched from STBY to MAN 1. After manually selecting a CMS program using the STEP button, the displayed program is used. For CMS FWD, MAN 6 is used instead of MAN 5. Additionally, the Panic program (sidewall button) has been moved to AUTO 1.

A workaround for the F/A-18C is in a patch 1.0.1.

Those considerations are also helpfull to understand how to use DTC in missions.

It can be downloaded from the github: v1.0.1
