AV8B Can't Uncage IRMAV

[relester]

I need help I've watched several videos and read Chucks Guide as well as read many forums. I'm trying to launch IRMAV's from the AV8B Harrier but no matter what I do I can't uncage the MAV. As far as I can tell I've followed the steps in Chuck's Guide completely but it still won't uncage. I'm very frustrated at this point I desperately need help! WHAT AM I MISSING?

here's what I'm doing

TPOD on right screen

SSS depress X2

slew to find target

TDC depress

SSS depress X2, which brings me back to INS mode

re-select IRMAV, then when I go to uncage the MAV nothing happens. What am I missing? Thank you for any help.

check this:

A/G Mode

Maverick Selected

TPOD on right screen -> check if TPOD is SOI (sensor of interest)

SSS depress X2

slew to find target

TDC depress -> check if it says "TPOD DES"

SSS depress X2, which brings me back to INS mode 

re-select IRMAV, then when I go to uncage the MAV nothing happens. What am I missing? Thank you for any help.

Press "Uncage", Maverick should be on right screen now, but with INS as SOI

SSS forward -> now Maverick is SOI

you can reslew the mav now with the TDC and fire it

From chucksguides.com:

As soon as the Maverick missile is selected, it will begin its cooldownphase, which will last 3 minutes. STBY indicates the cooldown phase in inprogress, while RDY indicates that the Maverick is warmed-up and readyfor use
