R3R issue, is it just me?

[Hadwell]

it's not like I'm trying to do something I haven't done dozens of times before.

take a look at my switches, they are set right, right?

from head-on(or nearly so), at the speeds we were traveling, should the R3R have launched?

for some reason it didn't, this has happened twice under similar circumstances, and only within the recent past.

When are you trying to launch the missile in your video? If it`s when the "red - fire authorization" light on radar screen comes on, then I do notice that you are pulling harder G`s (2 red lights on both side of the HUD". Never tried it myself, but It`s very possible that the mig won`t let you fire missiles when pulling this hard.

you may be right... 2G limit now?

 

at no point when I have pylons 3 or 4 selected with the SAR switch on, do the two red lights come on.

It should have a 2G limit. Missile still tracks pretty good though :thumbup:

[zerO_crash]

Well when you got the warning, it showed 5-6 G`s. Again, could be a bug, never fired a missile when pulling this hard with bis. But regardless, any LN guys with input on this?

 

Also, when specificially do you try to launch the missile in the video.

yeah but the thing is... when I first get in range is about 10km away, cause we're roughly head on, I have pylon 3 selected and pull the trigger, nothing happens, i try again, still nothing happens, so I switch to 4 and try again.... still, nothing happens...

 

then I just fly behind him and shoot him with a 13M1...

 

going to test this 2G limit theory.

ok, so after testing, it seems the issue is that i can't fire it if I'm so far beneath him and not pointed right at him... not a 2G limit.

After lock, I have noticed that you need the R-3R's pretty much pointed on the bandit to get tone and launch lights. Almost like IR but all aspect. Seems quite belivable for an early radar-guided missile. I think Aim-9C (SARH) is a close match to the R3R, and it was not a good missile (worse under 10000 feet).

 

I tried to find more info about R-3R in the real Mig-21bis manual. IR R-13m has a launch limit of 3.7G and R-3S has 2G's. But R-3R seems to be classified, other than speed has to be over 550km/h. :book:

Hey I was wondering how did you get the Multiplayer chat to be at the top left of the screen? Thanks.

Same here..noticed that you do not get the LA parameters from the radar, Upper Vertical red line that indicates that your are in range for the SAHR MSL and lower Vertical Red Line that indicates that a SAHR MSL is selected, armed and ready only until you fire the first one. Also i haven't stumbled upon anything that speaks of that the missile cannot be launched above it's DLZ.

So then why didn't it work in the first video? Clouds?

 

Just open the chat window and drag it wherever you want with the mouse.

No it's a pattern right now as it is bugged
