AIM-54 active command?

[VC]

I flew the "Defend the fleet" single mission as a way to get the hang of BVR, TID and the AIM-54. Really impressed, Jester is in TWS Auto by default, it probably took me fewer button presses to bring down both Tu-22s (at the same time) than it would have in an FC3 aircraft.

 

 

But, I did not see the time to target start blinking on the TID. I assume this means my Phoenixes never went active? Does the WCS not issue the active command automatically once they reach their active range? Do I need to do something else, tell Jester to do something, or hop into RIO pit and do it myself?

Several other posts here have indicated that HB hasn't fully modeled the TID, and the indication of phoenix pitbull is one of those things currently missing.

Thank you.

 

 

There are so many posts here it's difficult to read everything and sift the useful info, sorry for adding to the clutter but I appreaciate you taking the time to repeat the information here :thumbup:

 

 

So I just assume it's happened then, missile about 10nm from target I guess. Works for me.
