Thank you - works perfectly now ! Does the IR sight offer any zoom function or do I have to rely on my VR view in game to see a bit more ?

Its not really meant to search around manually. You are supposed to put your nose on the target (likely during a pop-up dive), then look at your sight, which is centered on your nose and then start doing fine adjustments. But the target area should already be in sight on the display before you move around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But could it carry and use it? Or why did it get included in the loadout options? Side question: If not the Strike-Viggen which aircraft in the Swedish Air Force carried the this variant?

IRL there was only the RB-75A (AGM-65A) and RB-75T (AGM-65A with Swedish made larger warhead). Heatblur included a fictional RB-75B, which is supposed to be a AGM-65B, which offered a narrow zoom view (which the AGM-65A didn't have), in order to make spotting easier for DCS players.

Thanks for clarification, and how can the zoom View be used in the viggen on the RB75 B variant ? Can the zoom view be mapped in the controls or is it just that the general viggen IR sight is a bit more zoomed in ?

The seeker optics are different in the B, which causes the sensor FOV to be half that of the A/T. The FOV is static and can not be changed like on the newer versions. Also it's not IR, but rather a TV (vidicon sensor) missile. Edited May 17, 2023 by MYSE1234 1 Viggen is love. Viggen is life.

Can the zoom view be mapped in the controls or is it just that the general viggen IR sight is a bit more zoomed in ? There is no zoom control (as the Viggen didn't have a Maverick with different seeker FOVs IRL), so Heatblur modelled the RB-75B as always being in Narrow FOV. So in plain English: The RB-75 is always zoomed in. And on a side note: There is no IR sight, as these older Mavericks are have simple electro-optical TV seekers, not IR seekers.
