Maverick "G" missles not readying

[Shadow_1stVFW]

I have too. And im telling you sometimes the rdy light never comes on. Im mainly doing this on the river defense mission and usually i see it after a reload/landing.

I'm not saying you don't. I'm saying I'm not experiencing the issue you're talking about under the conditions you've listed. Which is just as important in figuring out what is going on.

 

It's a part of finding the issue.

 

Of note. I also haven't flown the river defense mission

Its typically not an issue from my normal cold start. The first 2 mavs work fine usually. The issue tends to be on the 2nd load but i cant reliably reproduce it.

 

Also, as an aside im pretty sure the crew chief would tell me to ESAD if i told him to refuel and rearm a running harrier.

I wonder if thats a feature on the harrier?

 

And yeah, at least get stopwatch working.

 

We have 3 timers already. How many more we need?

 

BTW, Stopwatch is working. You need to bind it to some keys though.

We also have the timer function on the UFC and the EHSD has a timer. I normally use the EHSD timer, 3 minutes to target, I use the armament control panel to turn the IRMV on.

[Harlikwin]

Aha, good to know, now I just need to figure out how to use them. So the stopwatch is only accessible by key bindings and not clicking (not good for VR). Can anyone tell me how to use the UFC/EHSD timer? Also, what is that on the right side?

[mvsgas]

On the right side is the cockpit clock.

On the UFC, TMR function. Press the TMR button, enter the time you want to count down (example 3.00) and it will automatically start counting down.

Thanks man, I'll give that a go. Way better than trying to use my IRL wristwatch for it.

Hope it helps.

Sort of, just tried it out, it seems to count up and it doesn't display on the hud.

Well I ran two sorties last night with AGM-G's and used the stopwatch... both times the missiles armed at 2:58. It appears that the latest patch fixed the issue.

Both sorties I switched into A/G mode and selected the IRMV on the stores MFD page (i did not select another weapon -which were GBU12's). The first sortie i turned on the master arm and the second sortie i switched on master arm after the AGM's readied up. Both sorties the IR cool was left off.

 

thanks for looking into this everyone.

[mvsgas]

If you watch the track I provided, I was in nav mode with master arm off, so we can cross those as culprits. Other than selecting other weapons while the IRMV is getting ready, what else can we test? Any suggestion to try to duplicate it?

Did you cold start and re-arm? Thats where I've seen it (sometimes). And honestly its frustrating because I'm not 100% sure if its something I did or didn't do. But Its not the worlds hardest procedure. M/A on, AG mode, wep select, wait 3 min. I think I might have done it where I was in nav or vstol mode before.

 

Also, is there a switch/dial for sidewinder/sidearm noise somewhere? When cold starting, I'm not getting the noise (missles work, just no growl).

That is why I was asking for a track. I suspect the only time this happens is when people select the IRMV and then select something else before it is ready.

 

I have a post somewhere else with a trk. When someone downloaded trck and jumped into plane it worked fine for them. Ill look for link.

I did a cold start and rearmed twice. I could not make a short track, so this one is long (and not very interesting)

First run I designated the target with the EHSD, second I use the ARBS and lastly I use the TGP.

Keep in ind the longer the track the more chances it might have errors in the replay. Hopefully it works.

I could not see your track, It told me I was missing modules (WWII assets IIRC)

Thanks guys, I'll keep saving my tracks until I get one where it happens, its pretty infrequent.

I've had this issue before when I had the IRMV boxed in the STRS page, but I also had either GUN or SA boxed, (though not as the active weapon because IRMV was boxed most recently). I'd have assumed that if IRMV is boxed and STBY is displayed that they'd be cooling down.
