Weapon Usage

[Levinsky]

Hi guys,

 

I have been tinkering with a F-16 in DCS World. I can get missiles such as AIM-9 to work ok, but have had no luck with AGM-88 HARM missiles. Does anyone know if they are usable? I have added the required Sky Shadow ECM pod but still nothing.

 

Thanks,

Ken.

How do you fit a Sky Shadow pod to an F-16?

When I tried loading AGM-88s on my A-10, they would blow up the second I launched them, killing me instantly. It seems that they must have a target or they just explode. I would think that HARMs might work, if you could get the "ETS" HUD mode from the Su-25T on the F-16 and then lock a target up before firing.

Hi guys,

 

quick update - I have the HARMs firing - but like Speed I also have them blowing up in front of the aircraft.

 

As far as adding HARMS I just edited the LUA for my aircraft and under one of the pylons I added "8C3F26A2-FA0F-11d5-9190-00A0249B6F00" as a new option.

one way to make them work is to use su-25 cockpit with russian elint pod

Yes, this a weapon.dll restriction: you can use all ARMs with ETS and ECM pods and only with Su-25T, of course you can use Su-25T cockpit for F-16s but then you lose the Radar-A2A capability.

I can remember in (1st) LOMAC we did not need the ETS aiming box, we were able to choose targets (targets with working radar) by TAB key for all cockpit.
