I have a general grasp on radar elevation, pretty successful in f14/f18, but I am having a hard time with the viper. I see bandits on datalink, but have a 5% success rate of turning them into STT locks and an even more dismal rate in TWS. What am I missing? RF on, TWS selected, 40 nautical, colatitude, nose hot, cursor says angel 0-30, I'm at 500 knots, bandit at 500 knots, then wait and wait. Hit stays red. Wont turn into solid yellow box. Now I'm in visual or dead. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The training mission work a charm, but no luck in instant mission otherwise.
