  1. I did a repair and deleted the SC and repaired again to download it again and removed my mods and liveries and still no help.
  2. Maybe explain why to go along with statements like this otherwise you just sound like an ass. I thought I was very clear on what I was saying. From my experience so far, if you are getting a "shoot" cue in the hud you are essentially in range for the missile to guide itself. I have broke radar lock immediately after launch and the missile found its way to the target. I'm not saying "shoot" explicitly means pitbull, just that at this point in what I assume is a work in progress, it's equivalent to pitbull. Maybe there's situations where that's not the case but I have not encountered one yet.
  3. I mentioned this in my previous post but I haven't tested from all altitudes, airspeeds, aspects but from what I'm seeing, if you're getting a shoot cue you are pitbull. However a shoot cue doesn't guarantee a hit. Every missile I let go inside of shoot cue range I could break lock immediately after and it still guided to the target. Until I see otherwise, I'm going forward assuming shoot cue=pitbull.
  4. I have been doing some testing and here's what I've found. Going head to head with a MiG-29 at same altitude/airspeed (25,000, 500knots) I can get a very good hit percentage from inside 15nm, 10nm is easy money. From behind, flying the same heading, I'm getting hits at 8nm. That's not great range but it's an improvement over the AIM-7. That turd has an effective range equal to the AIM-9. Also, the missile is self guiding well beyond these ranges, I've let one go and broke lock immediately and it guided from 25nm. It didn't hit but the point is if you are in range to score a hit you are in pitbull range so fire and forget. For that matter, the AIM-120 is worth it for just this reason alone, fire then move on to another target rather then holding lock to impact. ETA/ I'm getting a shoot cue at 20nm head on but I haven't scored an actual hit from that range yet. But the shoot cue from a rear aspect is pretty accurate for a good hit percentage.
  5. Undesignate the target first, then turn off the radar. Or, before you ever enter ACM mode let alone lock a target, turn off the radar. I just tried it, it works. Used the very mission you mentioned, AA Radar Instant Action. I agree it would be nice to have another way to do it, and there may be, but for now this works and gets you the funnel to practice with.
  6. Hello everyone, new DCSer here. Came for the Hornet, lovin' it so far, looking forward to the full deal.
