Rhinozherous Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Hello! I just did some training with the Phoenix and had the problem that the missiles where not tracking. I was in pilot seat only. I tried to attack 4 TU95 bombers in TWS... had master arm on, in A/A HUD mode, PH selected. The HAFU was blinking and had the sequence numbers right of the targets on the TID. Range was about 50nm. I fired them one for one and they just flew straight into nowhere without any tracking, I rechecked in Tacview, the bombers where not going defensive, they where flying straight. After this I tried to go into Visual Range with Sparrows and Sidewinders. Here I tried to use the Pilot Lockon Mode. On pushing the PLM Button the diamond was not appearing... I expected to see it going left and right. But I only heard the switch sound but nothing on the hud and no lock. The bombers where about 10nm out. Isnt the range of PLM around 15nm?

probad Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 iirc there are acq commands for jester found in the pilot keybinds, make sure you didnt bind to those instead of the actual pilot acq controls proper. check the category column to verify.
lunaticfringe Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 PLM is pure boresight, instantaneous lock attempt on the cross at the top of the HUD within 5 miles. PAL is the 15 mile twenty degree search. However, the diamond only appears with AIM-7 or AIM-54 selected.
TLTeo Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 I'm pretty sure the diamond always shows up both with PAL and VSL/Low. VSL/Hi will never show up because the scan pattern is above the HUD.
uhntissbaby111 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 I get the scan diamond showing up with the Aim9 selected. Only mode it doesn’t show up in is in guns
Rhinozherous Posted March 30, 2019 Author Posted March 30, 2019 Shame on me... I confused PAL with PLM :doh: No wonder I got no lock... But I still dont get it why my Phoenix missiles didnt track. Is firing in TWS not modelled at this time? i7-14700KF 5.6GHz Water Cooled /// ZOTAC RTX 4070 TI Super 16GB /// 32GB RAM DDR5 /// Win11 /// SSDs only DCS - XP12 - MSFS2020

Is firing in TWS not modelled at this time?I have this issue with the Phoenix as well sometimes. I have the priority numbers, 1 is hooked and blinking lunch from 35 miles and no tti timer appears and Phoenix goes dumb Sent from my Redmi 4 using Tapatalk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
