Shoot F/A-18C AIM-120C TWS

[Ramsay]

I have just run a simple test with 2 AI Mig-29s coming at me at altitude (although I had a few thousand feet on them), and got the Shoot cue at about 22 miles

The range is less important than the Rmax triangle (@ 6 O'clock) but 22 NM seems reasonable, IIRC the shoot cue was appearing at 10-15 NM (head-on non-manoeuvring target) but I quickly realised it was bugged and started ignoring the non-appearance of the "Shoot" cue.

 

I've no idea how it's "fixed" itself but it is what it is.

:doh: It was user error, I was letting the Steering Dot drift outside the ASE Circle, so although the target was within Rmax, I didn't get the "Shoot" cue.

Glad to hear it's fixed as I was having the same late shoot que as well... but what a bizarre reason for it to break/ fix itself...

In my case, it's turned out to be user error - I was letting the Steering Dot drift outside the ASE Circle, so although the target was within Rmax, I wasn't getting the "Shoot" cue.

The same here. Fixed, RAID Pulse and 'Shoot' appears before 22 miles. Thank you.:thumbup:

What does mean that?
