Black6 Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 I have a issue with using of AIM-120B. If launching it beyound its active radar range the missile flies straight ahead - it doesn´t follow the target - like there was no support from aircraft radar even if it´s in STT mode and target is locked. When launching from F-15 - there is no problem. Georgia scenario

Harker Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Just did a test, armed with 6 AIM-120Bs and fired to a target 30-35 NM away, at an angle. All 6 AIM-120Bs corrected their course after launch and flew towards the target. So, no problem here. Was it a one-off or is it consistent? Remove any mods and try a repair if it is.

PhiXX Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Just taking a guess, but it could be that you're assuming you entered STT when you are actually in SAM. If you place the attack radar cursor over the brick and press TMS UP once, you will enter situational awareness mode (SAM), which is something like LTWS in the Hornet. From that point you can enter STT by pressing TMS UP a second time. So make sure to enter STT by pressing TMS UP twice on the brick. I'd suggest rewatching this vid from Wags about the radar RWS and basic AIM-120 employment to make sure you're not missing something. I hope it's helpful
Black6 Posted November 23, 2019 Author Posted November 23, 2019 I'll keep on triing. Maybe the jammer on MiG-29S could cause this. I'm sure, I've used STT. Thanks for all responses.
Black6 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Posted December 17, 2019 Hi, I've tried it again. The same result. Immediately after launch the missile steers to the actual position of target and then flies straight ahead until reaching active radar range. My model situation was like this: target - Tu-22 fliing from west to east at level 300, M0,9 - conditions set - not to react on threat, do not use ECM interceptor - F-16CM fliing from south to north at level 370, M0,9 2x launch, dist 21,2 - 21,5 nm according to display - inside maneuvering range Non of missiles reached the target. I´v recorded the video, but I dont know, how to post it here.
Vatikus Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 After you done with mission, simply click "save track" (save it somewhere you will find it) in debriefing screen and upload that file to the forum.
Black6 Posted December 19, 2019 Author Posted December 19, 2019 I´ve the track and also the video, but I don´t know, how to upload it.
CybrSlydr Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 When you reply, down below the text box are the "Additional Options" Click "Manage Attachments" - find the track you saved and attach it to the forum that way.
Black6 Posted December 21, 2019 Author Posted December 21, 2019 OK, so here is the track. Video file seems to be to large to be uploaded.AIM-120C.trk
Shuenix Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 Actually, target flying across your radar and lower, is a hard task for the radar.
