Have problems getting Aim 9 target lock after new update

[DST]

Hi guys,

 

sorry for being incredibly stupid at the moment, but I can´t seem to find the hell find how to lock targets with Aim 9´s after the implementation of that new gun-dogfight-mode.

 

If I press dogfight switch aft, I always get to the new gun-mode with the reticle if I lock targets up, but how the hell do I change back to Sidewinder Missiles and get a "classic" lock like in the Hornet?

 

It´s been a while since I flew the Viper, did a lot of flying in the Hornet recently, seems like something has changed or so.

With dogfight switch aft, the AIM-9 seeker should slave to the radar lock if SLAVE is selected on the SMS page. I don't remember if you need to hit Cage/uncage though. If the AIM-9 is in BORE mode in SMS page, you need to hold Cursor/Enable binding to slew the seeker to the radar lock.

- In the Dogfight Gun Mode ypu get a "No Rad" on the HUD, then you have to choose a radar mode, press TMS UP for Boresight scan (range 20nm), or TMS right for 30ºx20º (10nm), or TMS Aft for vertical scan

 

- The NSW button with a short press change stations of the selected missili, with a long press change between AIM120 to AIM-9

 

Now the new cool part of the AIM-9, if you get a lock in one of those radar modes just press once que new button cursor to bore ("Enter" key for default, but bind it to your hotas) and the diamond of the AIM-9 on the center of the HUD will jump to the locked target, Fox 2= Splash

Thank you for answering.

 

I still don´t get what I´m missing here. The thing is, when I switch dogfight switch aft now, I only get locks in that new gun mode, wags just made a video about, EEGR or what´s it called. But I don´t get to manage to get locks for the Aim9, like it was possible before? I can fire Aim9´s with weapon release button, but with no target lock. Target lock in dogfight mode now only available for guns it seems. *head scratch*

To put it more simple:

 

I´m no longer able to get locks for Aim9 in dogfight mode. I´m pretty sure it´s just a switch I´m just overseeing somehow...

Uncage when the target is locked should give you the seeker tone.

Uncage when the target is locked should give you the seeker tone.

 

OMG, thanks, that was it. I have my new Warthog HOTAS for a few days now, and Uncage-Button was mapped on "Button 2" which I just couldn´t figure out where it was. That´s the one giving me the Aim9-lock I was looking for :doh:
