Aim 120 launch characteristics for DCS


Gault05

Recommended Posts

So I've been using the aim 120s for the Hornet, but I tend to keep the missile launch dot within its reticle. While that is a useful mode to ensue destruction upon enemy aircraft, is this the only launch mode for the amraam?

You haven't mentioned which plane, but I guess they're pretty exchangeable (and you own both FCIII and the Hornet looking at your sig).

 

Notice how when you're aiming the AIM-7M(H) you can select a LOFT trajectory, notice how the dot changes orientation between LOFT and standard intercept trajectory.

 

As for the AIM-120:

Aiming for the dot just gives you the optimum launch angle for the missile. The missile will loft itself if it thinks that would be the optimal flight path to intercept the target. That's why you don't have another launch mode for LOFT. We will however get the option of MADDOG'ing the missile: to launch it off the rail with the seeker active, and locking on to whatever it can find first.

 

Not sure if this last one is already live on OB, i'm a bit of an A2A noob in that regard.

Hi where is the aim120 in dcs? I can't find anywhere

 

 

In the "Mission Editor" go to "Loadout Editor" an there selct the AIM-120B or AIM-120C. I think it only works with the F/A-18C, but I'm not sure about that.

Or, in-game, use the rearmament window when you're landed at an airbase to equip the AIM-120 in a similar fashion as shown in the Mission Editor.
