J404 Panther animation does not match real-life afterburner behavior

The J-404 nozzles should animate as follows to mimic real-world engines:  Start out wide open, and then narrow down until max cruise thrust.  On afterburner, the nozzles should be wide open with a flame out the back that varies by throttle position.  See the attached video of an F/A-18 with F-404 engines launching at night.  Note the long flame and wide-open nozzles when the afterburner is staged.

They do appear to be doing this for me, they start out pinched then dilate to full as afterburner kicks in

Does afterburner give you any thrust? Doesn't work when I switch to that mode

- patch 1 (also tested before patch 1)

- Windows 11

- GPU: RTX3070, CPU: AMD ryzen 9 7900 (12 core)

- Expected behavior: switching panther mode to afterburner compresses the nozzle all the way, creates shock diamonds, and then nozzle expands all the way

- Observed behavior: switching mode using the parts manager while in flight makes the nozzle small and starts shock diamonds, but the nozzle will not expand (using action group works as expected)

- to replicate: set up a panther with mode toggle on custom action group and launch. switch to A/B using action group, switch back, and switch to A/B using parts manager (right click on engine and change mode selector)

here is a video that shows the bug happening

I get this error when i switch mode using the parts manager but not if I use an action group
