Missile doesn't fire in MSL mode


LeCuvier

Recommended Posts

I don't believe it's a bug, but I cannot figure out what I'm missing. I'm sure I went through all the steps. The 2 missiles are activated (switches UP), Sight Mode switch is on MSL, I have Lock and in-range indication and the sidewinder growl goes to a higher pitch when I point to the target. But when I push & hold the button bound to Weapon Release, or hit RAlt + SPACE, no missile fires.

What might I be missing?

External stores selector set to safe (12 o'clock position)? and select jettison switch off (centred)?

I had this recently with bombs. Everything looked good; no release. I reloaded. Fine after that.

 

I think there is a bug with jettison that can cause stores not be able to be pickled afterwards.

The JF-17 is not better than the F-16; it's different. It's how you fly that counts.

You said you hear the missile tone, so I assume you have the guns/missile/camera switch in the up position (has red cover).  That and what Northstar98 said, plus you said you have the outer toggle switches up.  Oh, and did you press and hold the weapon release button?  It takes 1-2 seconds before the missile is fired.

Master Arm? 

Master Arm switch? I've been trying to find one with no success. The "guns/missile/camera" switch was in UP position.

Yea same, cause theres a variety of reason why this may happen, have you tried DG missile mode ?

 

 

I tried DM (Dogfight Missile) mode.

LeCuvier can you send a pic of the cockpit when this happens? Just wanna see your button setup!

I found my mistake after I had posted the screenshot. It was the "Select Jettison" switch. Thanks to all for your help!
