Bananimal Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I'm unable to launch the missiles at all. They are armed, jettison control is set to safe, weapons release mode is set to safe and both sidewinders toggles are flipped in the up position and no dogfight mode selected. The missiles refuse to release/fire. Had a mission setup with a MiG-21 right in from of me. I could see him in the HUD but the radar refuses to show him at all. Tried everything, no joy. Never had this problem before the latest update. ___________________________ Bananimal's DCS Mods and Skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenrick Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Can you put up a track? From your description nothing is jumping to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_19d Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 As for the AIM-9 -You said "armed" I'm assuming that means master arm to GUNS MSL & CAMR? -Did you have tone from the missle? -Were you holding down the bomb/rocket button (pickle)? A tap on the button won't do it. I know those sound obvious but I don't want to sound condescending, this is just a strange one...

Bananimal Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Yes, master to GUNS MSL & CAMR is on. Have tone from the missile and tone when the seeker head finds the targets heat signature. Yes, holding down the pickle button. I even went in and remapped the button to be sure there was no possibility the button was not mapped. I had a buddy try his F-5E last night and same thing for him.

Jenrick Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Are you on open beta or release? I updated the release client last night and tried it, missiles came off the rail just fine in my DACM mission. Are you doing a cold start, hot start, on the ramp, parking, runway, etc? Just trying to narrow things down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananimal Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 On the latest open beta. Hot start on the runway, NTTR map at Groom Lake. ___________________________ Bananimal's DCS Mods and Skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svend_Dellepude Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Track needed. AFAIK all issues regarding missiles not launching, bombs not dropping etc, have been pilot error or hardware issues.

Try press Ralt+Space instead of your designated button on HOTAS. Plus , you have to mantain pickle for at least 0.5 sec before launch.

tom_19d Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Like Svend says, a track would probably be best...one last idea which will also sound condescending but people have managed to make the mistake-- you are loaded with live AIMs, not the captive trainers?

Bananimal Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 Well, apparently I wasn't holding the pickle button long enough. Missiles are firing now. Just need to figure out why I can see the target on radar. Thanks. ___________________________ Bananimal's DCS Mods and Skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to figure out why I can see the target on radar. Thanks. Radar is very altitude sensitive. Try different radar altitude settings. Usually I approach target with AWACS ( bogey dope and picture ) and I only lock with dogfights modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert31178 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Try Crash's vid series, he has good tutorials on the F-5, maybe he has a video one? I'll look when I get home later for you, I'm away at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
