fjacobsen Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Now the radar won´t CTD I have another problem. Using IR-Missiles I get no lock tone. I have a test mission where I start right behind an enemy aircraft. I tried with SU-25 and F-5. I use a radar lock for ranging.

cquail Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Same issue. It seems that the pipper has to be pretty much exactly on the target to get a tone. It took me many tries to get an IR missile lock today. You have to be very very close and rock steady with the pipper on the target. I could ever only manage to get one missile off before I would lose tone, I usually always fire two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjacobsen Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Seems I found what was wrong... The lock tone comes on if You lock up a target with radar, thus You cannot hear whether the IR missile has a lock or not. Once within visible range unl-lock the radra and place the piper on the target. The lock tone will now come on when the IR missile has a lock. Now shoot. So a radar lock should only be kept for initial guidance and then un-locked once the target is sighted. I expected the IR lock tone to work like on the Sidewinders, but thats not the case on the Mig-21.
