Hello. I am new here :)
I have years of on-line experience in other combat flight sims, but I am completely new to Lock On, or to any modern combat flight sims for that matter. In other words, I never launched a missile before. I recently bought LOMAC+FC2 Platinum, and am trying to teach myself how to shoot down enemies. I have no difficulties in killing AI's using the cannon of F15C, but I just can't launch any missiles.
I am trying to follow the instructions in p-94 ~ 95 of the manual. For example,
(1) I press the [6] key to choose Uncage Mode. (I am in the "Game" mode.)
(2) I see two concentric circles on my HUD, and "9M 2" on the lower left corner, indicating two AIM-9M Side Winders are available. I also see AIM-9M Seeker is cooling, i.e. "COOL", on MPCD on the lower left hand side of my cockpit.
(3) I line up my F15C, and hear the high-pitched lock tone. I see two red lights turn on along the canopy flame, and I hear "shoot."
(4) I press a key mapped for "Weapon Release" on my joystick.
(5) Nothing happens. :cry:
What am I doing wrong? I must be missing something..... :confused: Thank you for your help in advance.
