[NO BUG] Mirage 2000c launching in manual mod

[CacTusrap]

one system that is not implemented is manual firing of missiles . I want to launch my missile from more far distance . please help if someone know to how to to that and if this is impossible so razbam please make this system work because it is ridiculous that pilot can't decide for her/himself . RAZBAM please solve this problem as soon as possible .

You can't launch a missile until the missile seeker has a lock itself. Having a target locked by the aircraft radar is necessary but not sufficient. Launching a S530D while the seeker isn't locked would result in an unguided shot. And the launch restriction is verified and sourced.

Also, the bug report section is not a proper place to request mods.

I red the Flight Manual that there is a key under AUT that is MAN that do this but not functional . in this scenario it would be a bug in my opinion because this is crucial for a pilot to decide when and how launch her/his missile , maybe you invent some trick but system will block it and it's very annoying specially when there is a manual system but not functional in this madule.my request is for razbam team that make this button working or let us override launch launch permission somehow .

S530 FIRE SELECTION BUTTON (Touche de sélection tir automatique/manuel): Selects either the automatic or manual fire mode for the Super 530D missiles:
• AUT (Automatique – Automatic): The weapon fire command act as a weapon release consent, the aircraft fire the missile when the condition provides a good probability of kill
• MAN (Manuel – Manual): The weapon fire command fires the missile when pressed.
This button is a remnant of earlier 2000C RDM versions and has no effect in our 2000C S-5 RDI. NO FUNCTION

NO!

The system prevents launching a missile if the seeker is not locked. This is what you experience and has nothing to do with the AUT/MAN switch.

The AUT/MAN is a relic from the older variant (RDM). It never allowed to launch the missile earlier, but the opposite. It was just launching the missile automatically when the system decided the conditions were best. So actually, enabling this switch was launching the missile even later. It would do the inverse of what you want.

In the current version, which is faithful to the modelled RDI variant, if the missile does not launch when you press the trigger, means the missile's seeker is not locked on target. That's explained in the documentation, too
