SuperKermit Posted Tuesday at 03:31 PM Posted Tuesday at 03:31 PM A bit late to the party, but does the 530 IR uncage? Couldn’t find anything in Chuck‘s manual.

I'm too lazy to check but I think it is always uncaged. The Aim-9s are caged and can be uncaged with the 300-600m gun range button. 1
RyanR Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago Cage and uncage has confused me for some time, as the manual and Chuck's guide don't go into it. What is the order of operations with the F-1. With the F-1, do you get tone and then uncage (as with the F-5)?.... or uncage first? Do different IR missiles work differently? Magic II seems to find things "automatically". -Ryan

As for the sidewinder, I can't remember. would be pretty easy to test. just put a cargo plane in front of you, place it in the centre of the HUD so that it isn't locked and then uncage the sidewinder to see if it locks it.

Uncage and SEAM is not the same thing though. I.e. as I understand you have to lock first, then uncage. In planes without SEAM (like the F-1?) an un-locked and un-caged seeker just floats randomly around IMHO. Edited 14 hours ago by SuperKermit

That the seeker head, when uncaged, just floats around until it finds something. But we'd have to test it.
