AIM-9 seeker sound sounding when NOT selected??

Hi, just not sure if this is the way it should or a bug/problem by my side but I have noticed, that when I set the "GUNS, MISSILE, AND CAMERA SWITCH" to the "GUNS, MSL and CAMR" position (the upper one), the sidewinders star to produce theis seeker sound when they are NOT selected in the "ARMAMENT POSITION SELECTOR"...:huh:...no matter if I select and de-select them the sound is ALWAYS there...is that normal??

 

I think not because Im pretty sure yesterday I was flying with a couple of AIM9s with the "GUNS, MISSILE, AND CAMERA SWITCH" in the upper position and as soon as I deselect the missiles the sound dissapeared, which I find should be right...

 

Not a problem with the volume btw.

 

Thanks!!

To add slightly more information, I'll quote myself:

 

Yes it's intentional, there's a post here with an exerpt from what I presume is the flight manual.

 

The short version is: with guns/missiles armed, you always hear the tone if you have a Sidewinder on your left wingtip. If you've fired that, then you should only hear the tone if you have a Sidewinder on your right wingtip and it's selected on the armament panel.

Sorry for coming back again in this thread, but I just wanted to ask you guys what does this line mean in the 2.0.4 release notes:

 

F-5E

 

"AIM-9 tone will not be heard if both wingtips gone off."

 

I know you told me the seeker sound should be on even when AIM9s are not "enabled" but seems to be a contradiction with this note right?? ( Although I can still hear the sound always in the 2.0.4 despite what the release note says)

 

Also, look at this video at 24:50 mark...seekers are not sounding if AIM9s are not enabled even when the MSL, GUNS and CMR switch is up just like I though it should be

 

 

So, what about this??

the sidewinder growl is annoying when you just want to use guns for ground attack.

NAVAIR 01-F5AAA-1 page VIII-25-7

 

25.2.7 AIM-9 MISSILE AUDIO TONE

 

The audio tone of either missile is activated or shut off by the corresponding wingtip armament position selector switch without arming the missile. With both switches up, only the tone from left missile is audible.

From the DCS F-5E manual, page 141, #6:

 

Armament Position Selector Switches

Selects respective pylons and wingtip launchers.

OFF – Disconnects electrical power.

UP – Connects electrical power.

 

If no electrical power to the respective missiles, what generates the growl? :music_whistling:

The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...
