There appears to be a bug with the IR Mavericks not releasing (firing) off the rails when the cage auto-collapses upon selection of the maverick sensor (sensor select switch forward).
Maveric will fire normally when the target is locked after selecting the maverick sensor (SSS forward). However if when pressing SSS forward the gage collapses onto the target immediately, then the maverick will not fire. It can be resolved by a quick cage/uncage procedure.
Also of note that if the "tone" option is selected, then an audible tone is heard in this situation, but no release occurs.
Attached a Track file that shows:
- A/G mode, master arm on, flaps up, nozzles 0°
first Launch
- find target in DMT
- uncage mav
- select mav and zoom in
- no lock yet... get closer and TDC depress. locks and weapon release = fires <-- all good !
Second Launch
- move DMT to another nearby BMP
- uncage mav
- zoom and slelect Mav
- cage collaspes for lock
- cannot launch
- re-cage & un-cage mav
- mav launches on release press
