Could someone please clarify if the the Aim 120 Slave/Bore can be cycled on the HOTAS using the Cursor/Enable as written in the F16 EA guide, I find it works with the Aim 9 but not the Aim 120?

 

From manual:

Cursor/Enable (CURSOR/ENABLE) Control. This control is used for slewing of the fire control radar cursor or TGP/weapon video. Depressing the control changes the BORE/SLAVE option for the AIM-9 and AIM-120

 

I’m aware you need to press and hold in DGFT mode for Aim 9 and have tried both holding and single clicks in AA master for Aim 120 but no go.

 

Thanks

My understanding is you just put the enemy aircraft in the big circle and maddog launch (Make sure there are no friendlies around). No slave available like the aim9x.

 

Edit

"Dodfight/ missile override"

 

You can TMS up while using the HMD (Radar on with ellipse)

Put this on the guy and TMS up again to lock.

This is like Slaving the radar then launch the 120

 

You are limited to the radar elevation (less that aim9x)

 

If no time maddog.

You can cycle Slave/Bore by pressing OSB on the MFD but not by the HOTAS switch which according to the manual you should be able to do. Still learning AA so wanting to know if it should /does work or whether I’m doing something wrong?

Bind "Dodfight/ missile override"

Also bind "Enable switch - Depress"

Hold this Enable switch down and the aim9x seeker will stay with your view.

Put this on enemy hear sound and fire.

 

I also have bound Right MFD OSB 7 on HOTAS to change to aim9 or 120s in Dogfight mode.

 

See me do that here

 

 

Aim9x slave

Thanks chaps, yes David OC my HOTAS is correctly bound and working correctly with Aim 9s so what Svend_Dellepude said makes sense that it is simply not implemented yet then. Yes I guess I could bind an OSB like you say, that would be a temp workaround.

 

Thanks

Sorry to necro but this came up when searching for the Maddog switchology. Like OP mentioned, per the manual (and from other Viper sims) a press and hold of the cursor/enable should change 120s from SLAVE to BORE as long as cursor/enable is held down, but that doesn't seem to be working for me in AA master mode. The SMS still shows the missile in SLAVE. Am I missing a step, or is the cursor/enable function implemented and the visual SLAVE-->BORE change on the SMS isn't in yet?

i think it's not fully there. it seems to work for aim9 but not for the 120
