F/A-18C HARM TOO mode failure

Hi everyone,

I am in the latest 2.7 stable release and I have a problem with F18 HARM cage/uncage in TOO mode.
I set the HARMs in TOO mode, select the emitter with POV button but when I press cage/uncage to transfer target data to the HARM it does nothing and the missile does not go into RDY mode.
I know the throttle cage/uncage button is properly mapped cause AIM-9s and AIM-7s uncage fine.
SOI is properly selected. I followed every step of Matt Wagner’s youtube tutorial and still no luck.

Any idea what could be going on and how to fix it?

Thanks!!

I did and it doesn’t work. I can fire HARM missiles fine in SP and PB mode. It just doesn’t work in TOO mode because for some reason when I press the cage/uncage button the current emitter selected info does not transfer to the active missile ( I know it is not a hardware or mapping issue cause cage/uncage works with AIM-9s and AIM-7s )

Track attached. 

I tried to launch HARMs in TOO mode but cannot transfer emitter data to the missile using cage/uncage button. As you can see in the track I had no problem launching and killing the SAM radars in SP mode

If anyone has a suggestion on how to fix this I'd really appreciate it!!

Thanks!!

@FLJetPilot

I have checked your track and you did not make the left screen the active one (sensor control switch left) there is no diamond present on the left screen.

Uploaded a video where I take control of your track replay and do scs left and then use cage/uncage to select the SA6 and fire.

Johnny,

You were absolutely right. I tried this many times and I could have swore I was moving the SOI to the left DDI. But tried it again earlier today and it did work.

Thanks for checking my track and pointing out i was missing that step!!!

Cheers...
