Bonzo0181 Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 A JHMCS-bore-designated target lock with an AIM-9X cannot be dropped by any button. The only way to drop it is by using the gimbal limit. That bring us to the next point: once the AIM-9X has been uncaged once in a mission, it will automatically pick up any target and lock it, without having to uncage the seeker again. This is true when switching master modes, forcing a target drop otherwise, switching back and forth between weapons, etc. The missile will happily lock another aircraft it that one is in-sight first after a forced drop. I added a track showing the problem. The uncage button is pressed once to lock the left aircraft, but not touched again.F-16 aim-9x persistent uncage button.trk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
