How to enable Harm

[Jimbo777]

I am not able to launch a harm even with target on RWR. I am in AG mode, safety off harm selected RWR on and target seen but harm is crossed out on stores page. I have gone through 2 tutorials set by step. Any thoughts on what I might not be doing right?:(

I think you need to select it twice on the ddi - sound strange but there will be modes you need to select in later updates, these appear on the second click.

Also use the pickle button instead of the trigger for missiles this got me confused at first.

Could one say ....air to air is trigger and air to ground is pickle button. ?

 

On F-16 trigger is gun only.

 

But as a old f-16 sim driver, it is interesting to discover the different way boing chose to do things :).

Not really, because you use the trigger to engage grond targets with the gun ;)

Which tutorials are you using?

 

The HARM doesn't seem to be a finished weapon yet. The TOO (target of opportunity) and PP ( or pre planned) isn't active. The SP or self protection mode is designed to be on all the time when ingressing to target. It should automatically lock the most lethal threat to the pilots aircraft. The pilot then just fires the HARM.

 

Harm override is used to fire outside these parameters.

 

If HARM is boxed on the ddi, it should release when you press the weapon release.

 

Hopefully the other modes will get finished. These permit you to select your own target from the RWR, via a cursor. Also you can select a missile loft mode, or an aircraft loft mode. HUD cues should be available to guide you to an in range cue for each mode.

 

Pre planned gives you the choice between inputting Lat/Long Target coords or using a pre planned waypoint/designated target waypoint. Again in a missile loft tragectory, the missile will loiter over the target until it received a viable threat, then it will accelerate to kill that threat.

 

The HARM should be our most effective weapon when attacking defended targets. In Pre Plan mode, it's a killer against those radars that go cold. The HARM will memorise the last known active threat and go for that if they go cold!

 

Cheers.

IIRC this is already possible using the current mode, use to cycle through the RWR threats.

I don’t see the HARM submode page at all. Ive double clicked on the HARM OSB, Armed and in AG mode - Nada !

I think after tomorrow we will have two other modes.
