Snappy Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) Hi all, Is there way to cue the sidewinder seeker head to a specific radar locked target in TWS mode? So far I can only get it to work in STT (but then the targets gets lock warning)or alternatively if you switch into aim-9 AACQ mode and switch on the radar it goes into Flood mode.

Regards, Snappy Hello, Not quite sure about your doubt, but giving it a quick try - it is possible (at the least in open-beta 2.5.5.38756.) Selected BVR radar mode; select TWS mode; place target designator over the radar target; lock; and the AIM-9 seeker is cued to the TWS radar target. See red circle at radar screen in the pic.

Snappy Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Hi Top jockey, thank you for your reply with the picture.Just so I understand your steps correctly : You press „2“ to get into BVR.Then change into TWS mode. Then after locking the target in TWS you pressed „D“ to cycle through the weapons until you got aim-9 and the seeker was cued to locked target?

Kind regards, Snappy Yeah, it was pretty much it except that: - the AIM-9 was selected probably before the BVR mode if I recall coorrectly; - most of the commands were given by Joystick and Throttle. And as you can see by the pic the radar is in TWS mode... Edited November 8, 2019 by Top Jockey Hangar FC3 | F-14A/B | F-16C | F/A-18C | MiG-21bis | Mirage 2000C ... ...
