AIM-120 bore launch

[fdsa]

AMRAAM cannot be launched in bore mode. At least I could not manage it. In 4.32 it was just change from SLAV to BORE and pickle. Is this a bug or known update?

[uri_ba]

it depends on the F-16 block.
some can be switched (like 4.32 had) some are “dead man switch” so you need to hold down the CURSOR ENABLE (i.e press&hold the microstick) to enable it

[fdsa]

I’ve tried both ways already…

So better take a look into the brand new manuals. Maybe you will found some extensive expnanations.

Check also with uncage … And check pickle more than 2s. Status displayed on SMS page (RDY)

Yup, uncage is your new friend

[uri_ba]

Indeed…
Totally forgot it wasn’t in play in 4.32

You know what I am expecting also Uri … : " my tadpole is not pointing to the selected Steer-point "

The answer that we will have to give is : RTFBBNM (Read That Funking Beatiful Brand New Manual)

I couldn’t find it in the manual. Thanks for the answer about the uncage.

Anyone have a good method for actually Mad Dog-ing AMRAAMs now? Pressing cursor enable, uncage and the pickle button is quite the handful…

Select AA SMS
Toggle form SLAVE to BORE .This will now take out the Z-Axis push step.

All that is left now is to press uncage ( verify RDY status on SMS page), and pickle.

I suppose, but that’s not really as quick as a HOTAS command. Since there is one I’m guessing there’s some slightly less awkward way of doing it than to press my chin down on the pickle button?

There are more the a few question poping here and there, for which I keep saying “why is he asking, wasn’t it like that all the time”.

I actually stopped answering questions on 4.32 at some point, because I kept giving the “wrong” answers.

BTW -
“speedbreak indicator is broken” is something I expected and hadn’t seen yet

why your chin? Just use your thumb… Right thumb on pickle, left thumb on cursor enable, left index finger on uncage. Easy.

[Scrim]

You freak, how long is your index finger?!?

In all seriousness though, can’t actually reach that far on my Warthog stick. I did find that I can just barely reach long enough with the middle finger (no pun intended), so cheers for the tip!

[uri_ba]

where did you put your uncage button?

assume that the CURSUR ENABLE will be where it is in F-16 - on the pressing of the SLEW.
and the uncage is somewhere reasonable… say COMM HAT PRESS

done!

[Badger]

I’ve seen that one already asked

[Scrim]

Oh, I confused left with right! Using Mud’s profile, so uncage for me is clicking the CMS switch, which I found out does just exactly work with the right middle finger.

I notice in HMCS (and maybe not) I can move the AIM-120 “hairy diamond” in BORE similar to AIM-9 cueing. Does this have a real effect?

No effect
The AIM120 cannot be slaved to the HMCS line of sight.
