Zohardv Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Hi all. I've loaded a mission with 4 Air to air missiles: AIM-120s on stations 1 and 9, AIM-9M on station 2 and AIM-9X on station 8. While in dogfight override, only the 9M is loaded. Pressing the MSL STEP won't switch to the 9X. In the MFD, the 9X is treated as long range missile noted by the letter M (same as the AIM-120s). See attached screenshots. Best regards. Zohardv Edited October 15, 2020 by Zohardv fixing typos
Frederf Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 "M" should be "missiles different than the selected type" so AIM-9M and AIM-9X are different type so they show "M" when the other is selected. Change missile types with the OSB or MSL STEP long press and then change within that type by MSL STEP short press (or I guess the OSBs at the bottom corner of the SMS).
Zohardv Posted October 15, 2020 Author Posted October 15, 2020 @Frederf I you are correct by the fact that choosing the 9X from the MFD should switch to it, and it does so perfectly in the sim. But I think that MSL STEP should cycle through all the short range missiles available. I'm not sure if this is what supposed to be in RL. Anyways, I attached a track file for any one who is willing to investigate. Another thing I just noticed (and is also part of the track file): I cannot cool the missile head by pressing the respective OSB. In real life you can cool the missile seeker manually when master arm is in SIM. When switching to ARM the seeker will automatically be cooled. Here I tried switching to SIM and pressing the OSB, but got no response.F-16 free flight 15-10-2020.trk
