iRocco Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 I feel like this would be a very substantial improvement of the Tomcats survival. When do we get an indicator (flashing contact?) for the phoenix gone pitbull please?
Redliner7 Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) I believe it'll go Pitbull at 16 secs. Knowing that will help a little bit to know when it goes PB until they implement the feature. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk Edited February 26, 2020 by Redliner7
Airhunter Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 There is no real pitbul indication in the real thing, except when in TWS. The TTI next to the track will start blinking when it goes pitbull, approximately 15-16s from impact. Currently the 54 behaves like the amraam and can be considered pitbull off the rail.
r4y30n Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Well that makes sense. Every other mode is either active off the rail or never active at all, right?

I believe currently it is only active off the rail if you as the pilot have the ACM panel open and as the RIO if you have it set in the MSL OPTIONS panel switched to PH ACTIVE v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

Spiceman Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 That will be correct once it’s fully implemented. As of right now, it is ALWAYS active off the rail. The reason is that the API that allows the launching aircraft to “talk” to the missile in flight is not implemented by ED.
