Xxx Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Hi all. I just got going again on a new PC. So thought Id better re do training missions. Air to Air mission. I got the C130 with a 530 then fired the other 530 at the SU27's. I missed, so selected Magicks. Got a radar lock and a tone, but pressing trigger nothing happened. Seemingly neither Magick would come off the rails? Is there a new step Im missing here? Thanks!

Flappie Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I see on the Chuck's Mirage Guide changelog that the Magic procedure has been changed, yes. Quote Revision History: -13/09/2020: Updated RWR symbology -12/06/2020: Radar section rework, CCRP logic rework for Mk-82 and GBU-12 bombs, DO Memory Function added, Magic II missile search patterns added, Magic II missile employment procedures updated, Cockpit description updated, typo corrections Chuck describes the procedure starting page 137. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck describes the procedure starting page 137. Many thanks. Forgot about Chuck's guide. Indispensible! I think what I did wrong was go from 530 radar mode into Magick mode via the PCA panel. Although I had a great lock and tone the Magick wouldnt fire. (still in 530 radar mode?) A short range mode was required. Quote If MAG PCA (Armament Control Panel) button is selected (MAGIC missile is not required to be selected with CNM), the Magic seeker will default to the Horizontal Wide Search mode. Pressing the Nav Update / Magic Unlock button will toggle search mode to Vertical Narrow Search mode. Although I'd selected Magick in PCA, I did not see the horizontal wide search mode, in the HUD? Since I dont have a HOTAS Warthog, only a Saitek X52, I am relying on Voice Attack for the other switches. This is a tricky aircraft. I thought Id learnt it well, but 12 months not flying it proved I'd forgot how to! Thanks.

Clipper Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 The easiest and fastest way to use the Magic is pressing M in the keyboard and point the upper cross in the HUD to your target. When the Magic detects a target, it will start a growling noise. Shoot when you are close to the aircraft. If you want to unlock just press N. This is the easiest way, but using the PCN, radar and close combat hud modes are more "complex" ways to use the Magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
