F14 RIO - Known Bugs??

[[ATP]Flo]

Hey guys,
today I was flying with another F14 pilot and I was the RIO.
Two bugs occured and I'd like to know if they are known.

1) First bug appeared when I joined the backseat. It was exclusive to this particular slot in this particular F14 in multiplayer. Before I come to the problem I tell you that I have bindings for F14 pilot and F14 RIO on the same HOTAS obviously which are applied when I switch to the according seat. On the throttle I have a 4-button-cross which I use as my weapon-select-switch (pilot) and as my radar-control-switch (RIO) - this is important.

So I joined in as RIO and I immediately knew there was a bug because I couldn't move the joystick (HCU). So I checked everything and it was definitively not a control-setup problem. Switching the slot to another aircraft and switching back did not solve the problem. I had perfect control in other aircrafts though, so it was no problem in my side. The thing that releved the bug now was that when I pressed the 4-button-cross on the HOTAS (radar-control-buttons) I heard the Sidewinder scan sounds and stuff, so the plane thought: I AM THE PILOT because it was behaving as I would sit in the front seat. That was also the reason I couldn't move the stick - it tried to move the pilot's stick lol. (By the way it did not really activate the Sidewinders nor did it have any impact on the avionics because my pilot had no problems.)

So that was the first major bug that appeared.
The plane was litteraly useless for a human RIO.
I had to switch to another plane and we flew with two planes...

Anyone had this before??

2) Second bug was different.
We flew for like 15 minutes and though we had many friends and hostiles within 20-120nm I could not get any contact on the radar. Our altitude was 20-40kft and I tried everything to get anything on the radar. RWS, TWS, Pulse, PulseDoppler, like everything. Scan elevation 0°, of course I tried scanning up and down (saw the limits), checked different ranges, even cheated by checking the F10-map and tried to get contact to any plane nearby but NOTHING. We also flew low to scan above. Still no luck. Not ONE contact - just some waypoints.
I swear it was impossible to get one contact. And I did nothing special or unusual - just as always and I'm not stupid or so. ^^

Is this also a known bug - that the radar cannot find any contacts?

Thanks guys,
I hope you can tell me that there are some known bugs because this was quite frustrating.

They confirmed it was a bug, if that's what you experienced.

No idea about the first one.

Not the main post but post #8:

"no idea if its a different problem but we couldnt lock a damn thing last night even when we were straight and level, not even pal or ir seamlock worked "

But it seems that the radar in general is a bit broken right now when I look in the comments.
Hope the patch comes soon.
