pegg00 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Okay so I'll get my first sidewinder off the rails, then even w/ the lock tone and uncage button held, my second sidewinder will not fire. Any suggestions? or is this possibly a bug?:helpsmilie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpion80 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 There is a sidewinder on the pilon? [sIGPIC]https://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic62322_8.gif[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistking Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 My sidewinders are indeed selected. i must admit, i am guessing at little bit here, but could it be that you have to deselect the rail with the first missile, that you already launched, so that >only< the remaining rail/sidewinder is selected? as you might know, the f-5 is a bit picky when it comes to selecting ordnance... There is a sidewinder on the pilon? i would just assume, he refers to the wingtip rails...

Ill try that a bit later and report my findings, good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svend_Dellepude Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 It's not picky about arming the pylons. You just need to be out of A-G mode (the dial at 12 o'clock). Press the pickle and hold it for a couple of seconds and the missile should fly off the rail. If this doesn't happen there might be a hardware issue or OP is not holding the pickle for long enough. You can try with the keyboard. If this works it might be an idea to check that the directx output of the joystick is working as it should. AIM's will not launch if you have the button programmed to send a pulse. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64, Asus Maximus VIII Formula, i5 6600K, Geforce 980 GTX Ti, 32 GB Ram, Samsung EVO SSD.

I dont believe its a problem on my end.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurderOne Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I just tested based on this thread. I have zero issues launching sidewinders from the F-5. I would try a keyboard launch if holding the pickle isn't launching your second missile. It can seem to take forever and a day to get a missile off the rail in a sticky situation with this aircraft. Sorry, no cool signature here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
