RB75 and safety bracket

[Pochi]

Hi there,

 

I am learning how to use the RB75 but it seems I can not lock the target if I keep the safety bracket closed. In the manual, my understanding is that I should be able to lock a target and then open the safety bracket to launch. In mine, if the safety bracket is closed, the RB75 does not want to keep the lock and roll back to bore sight. What should be the correct behavior?

 

Also, is it correct behavior that the missile sight through EP13 is not ground stabilisés? It is a new y question ^^

 

Best regards,

I think you need to recycle the safety bracket after each launch to switch between the Mav's.

Pochi, the RB75 works as described in the manual. I recommend you read it.

Nope, I did some test again, and at least on my setup, the MAV do not hold the lock if the safety is kept safe which is contrary to what is stated in the manual. As soon as I unsafe, I am able to lock and keep locked.

 

It maybe due to the fact I use the buttons mod that allow me to use the 3 pos trigger of the warthog for T0/T1/TV...works well for nav fixes but may not for the MAV...

 

Or, maybe the manual is wrong and you have to unsafe first so that a missile is selected, and only then you are able to lock. (which may seem logical because you have to cycle the safety bracket in order to select next missile)

That's strange - I got the same setup and it's working fine, just like in the manual. Locks fine and keeps it locked after going trigger unsafe. You are using mode ANF btw?

 

What buttons mod are you using? Because you don't need mods to use 3 way toggle switch for T0/T1/TV, its supported by the module. I use TM Hotas Warthog pinkie switch.

 

Use keybindings:

T0 Fix (Three Position Switch)

TV Fix (Three Position Switch)

 

T1 works 'automatically' in the middle position.

 

Hope this helps.

I use the 2/3 additional button mod (a few post below), but thanks for the head-up because I did not know I could achieve the same thing with default buttons : I will try it and hope it will solve my problem. I saw a video earlier where the MAV locked before trigger unsafe so it definitely a problem on my side.

After some tests, I can confirm that if you want to use the 2 stages trigger of the HOTAS Warthog for T0/T1/TV, you can not use the default available key binds. You need the mod. And it’is really a pity that Heatblur does not provide such keybinds by default because using the 2 stages trigger from the Warthog is what is the closest to the Viggen radar stick trigger. And using the mod comes with the disadvantage that you can not lock the MAV before trigger unsafe. It is kind of a dilemma but using the trigger is ergonomically a must for me.

 

If Heatblur would had such new keybinds, I would be very happy.

To be honest, I bound the T0, T1 and Tv fix to 3 buttons on my throttle. Works just fine. Unless you want to use an extra stick for the radar stick in the Viggen, then I kinda understand.

Sorry - I just noticed you said trigger. I thought you meant toggle switches.

 

But in any case - have you noticed there's also a keybinding for "T1 Fix (Two Stage Trigger Middle Position)"? Atleast it sounds like it's just what you are looking for.
