sploitz Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Ive had an Issue flying online today with my buddy. The Phoenix would not launch in TWS, had blinking Target and launch order was ok. As soon as i gave my Pilot a target in STT he could fire the Phoenix. Ive double checked but didnt seem to miss anything on startup. Has anyone else experienced such issues?

Relayer Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Double check that you have the MSL PREP button depressed and that the missiles have had sufficient time to cool. Double check that the MASTER ARM switch is set to ON. I'm not trying to teach you to suck eggs, but I've been caught out before by forgetting MSL PREP, so it's worth re-stating.

Karon Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Never happened (I haven't tried last patch though), double check your checklists. Seems more as a pilot issue rather than RIO.

sploitz Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 @Relayer STT Phoenix worked from my Pilots Seat Thanks Ill speak with my Pilot again As soon as i switched from TWS to STT he could fire, but we were online intercepting a flight of TU22s and i would have liked to engage the whole flight at once. I have actually not really flown the F14 from the front, is there anything my Pilot might have missed? Even after he engaged the first Tu22 in STT i went back to TWS with 5 more Phoenix on stations and still could not engage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karon Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 You (RIO) should fire in BVR engagements since you have a better SA and understanding of the situation than the pilot. Try by firing yourself. Instead of asking us what he may have misses, it's easier if you ask him how he did FENCE IN and report the steps. If it's working in STT there's no reason why it should not work in TWS Manual. It has been working since day-one so sounds really odd.

JamesRothwell Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Do you get the 'hot trigger' indicator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gneckes Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Just guessing here, but was your target marked as Hostile and did it have an engagement priority assigned to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Sounds like you either weren't in TWS mode, but in RWS mode or if you have been in TWS mode, then there was jo target within launch parameters. You can see if a target is within launch parameters in TWS mode when it starts blinking and gets a launch priority number assigned by the WCS. Just guessing here, but was your target marked as Hostile and did it have an engagement priority assigned to it? It don't need to be hostile. It can be unkown too. It does need an engagement priority though.

KlarSnow Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 The thing that has caught me and my group out more often than not is being in cruise mode vs A/A mode in the front seat, if you are in TWS it looks exactly the same in cruise vs A/A except you wont get a hot trigger.

IronMike Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 My guess would be the following, too: either in RWS or PD or Pulse search than TWS (can easily be mistaken on the TID if you dont look closely), however if you got target prioritization the cruise instead A/A hud mode is the most likely mistake on pilot side.

QuiGon Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 The thing that has caught me and my group out more often than not is being in cruise mode vs A/A mode in the front seat, if you are in TWS it looks exactly the same in cruise vs A/A except you wont get a hot trigger. It does not look exactly the same. If the pilot is not in A/A mode the weapon selection display on the bottom right in the TID will be dark green, instead of bright green which would indicate that the weapon is ready to go. So when going in a fight you should always make sure that the weapon selection shines in bright green color on the TID!
