Training A-A Missiles
-
I have found that when in the Training mode I select medium range missiles to practice radar lockups and use of radar guided missiles I can be presented with the F-16 panel but my aircraft when viewed in panoramic view (key 0) is an AWACS aircraft(!!).
All is well when sidewinder training is undertaken.
I seem to be making an error - can someone help please?
Also when in training mode I attempt to use the A-A radar training exercise I appear to have an F-16 panel but be flying a Hawkeye.

Training mode? Can you be more specific? I assume you mean you’re loading a training TE …. which one?
Best guess … BMS will put ‘drop’ you into the first flight in the flight list by default. If that is an AWACS or Tanker flight, that’s where you’ll end up. Before choosing ‘Commit’ or ‘Fly’ in the mission, you need to make sure to 1.) click on the flight you want to fly in the FRAG list, then 2.) click on the specific jet (#1, 2, 3, or 4) you want to be in. If you make changes, check other flights, etc. make sure to re-click on your jet before commiting to fly.

To add to what agave_blue said, the default cockpit model will be the F-16 if there isn’t a custom pit model for the jet you’re in. That’s why you think you’re flying an F-16 until you see yourself from the outside.

Agave. Many thanks. As a newby I am still trying to find my way around. The specific units of the Training program which were troubling me were: A-A radar modes and AIM-120 Amraam. I followed your advice and all is as the programmers intended.

well, the text in the corner of the screen and the roll performance is also a bit of a giveaway…

When you are new to this, not really

LOL, I remember the first time it happened to me…I thought the program was corrupted until I went to external view and found that I was flying the tanker! No roll rate whatsoever!:oops:
