Missile launch
-
Hello,
Tried searching this but wasn’t sure how to word it to get good search results.
I’m not sure this is a problem on my end, a bug in the sim, or if its actually supposed to work this way but I loaded out with AIM-9’s to test this out and what is happening is as follows.
I turn on master arm.
Go to AA mode from the ICP.
Then selected the SMS page.
Select Cool on the MFD and a few seconds later MFD OSB 6 or 7 (sorry not home so cant check which is the correct OSB) will say RDY beside the missile type.
At that point I can fire the missile with the pickel button on the SSC, or from the ALT REL on the Misc panel BUT I can also fire from the OSB button on the MFD that says RDY….is that normal?Also if I push the AA button again while a missile is ready to fire it goes back into Nav mode BUT if I push AA again it launches a missile.
I tried this in BMS 4.33 as well and it does the same thing. Even if I am using the 3d clickable cockpit to push the buttons using the mouse to push them.
Hope all that makes sense.
Thanks

Hi!
Sound like a stuck key/DX button (?) …Your report is nicely explained and detailed … but I am unable to repro here.
Any video available?

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
I think you are right, it is most likely a stuck input.
I have BMS 4.33 on my laptop still and went through these same steps and it does not launch a missile.I went back to the simulator and tried it using a Mav in the AG mode and it was launched.
So now comes the fun part of trouble shooting.
Easiest will be to start disconnecting one panel at a time and go from there. That isnt going to be fun.Not sure if the pic will show but if it does you can see if I select MFD OBS 8 and switch from WARM to COOL then OBS 6 shows REL and at that point I can push OSB 6, ALT REL, Pickle on SSC, or switch out of AA and then switch back into AA and in all cases a missile will be fired.
I have about 5 Pokeys cards and 2 Xkeys I will have to go through. Think I will go take a nap first lol.Thanks again
