twistking Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) CAP-9M does not interface with the avionics in a meaningful way. Doesn't give a tone, doesn't track. I was under the impression that it does have a working seeker for training purposes. If so, i can't get it to activate. Is this intended behaviour? User error, or bug?

This is a captive missile that does not fire. It simulates the size, airflow, and weight of an AIM9. It is for training. 1 AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.

Bimbac Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 Actually, there are two versions of the training missiles: CATM-9M and DATM-9M. The first is a captive training missile used to train pilots. It contains the same seeker, electronic assembly, and umbilical cable as the live missile but no fuze, warhead, or motor. Its purpose is to interact with the aircraft like a live missile except for an actual firing. The second one is used for ground maintenance and handling training only, and it can be mounted on the aircraft but cannot connect to its systems. So, the CATM version in the DCS should act as a live missile except for the ability to be launched. If it does not work that way, it's definitely a bug. 4
twistking Posted June 2, 2023 Author Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) ok. now it also got moved into the bug section. hope it get fixed soon. i'd think that they can just copy the config from the normal AIM-9M and just tweak that part where it does (not) fire...

Bimbac Posted June 2, 2023 Posted June 2, 2023 Hopefully, we'll also get a finless version of the CATM. Wings and fins increase drag and exercise extra stress on the wings (especially when mounted on the wingtips), so removing them for training flights is a common practice.
