AIM 120 training mission

[Aries101]

Hello

 

I just tried F-16 and in middle of mission (2 MIG-19s) he says I lock him in STT (two times UP button did the trick I think) and when missle goes active I should unlock it, lock 2nd 29 and shoot aswell. Only trouble is I got no idea how to check if 120 went active?

I'm no pro, have too many modules. But have a look in the manual, (you know where it is, took me two years to know we had them. ), it should be some sort of "counter" IIRC.

After firing an AIM-120, you will see a countdown on the right side of the HUD, and if that shows a leading T (instead of A), the missile has transitioned to terminal active guidance.

As an example, T11 means that the missile is active and the predicted time to interception is 11 seconds. If it shows A14, the missile is not active yet, and the predicted time until it will transition to active is 14 seconds.

Hope that helps.

Ty. It does. Not sure thou if I will continue to fly it. I just realized that 2 weeks is too short to learn it properly. I am just sad that Idecided to go with JF-17 instead F-16 when I was initially in decision process. This is so much better module than my jeff. 

I cant afford it unfortunatelly but when I could I will get it for sure.
