Have you followed all the procedures in the TacPack Manual?

Yes I thinks so ! Problem is the radar top light on the annunciation panel goes out when I turn master arm on.

To fire AIM-7s, RDR MSL switch must be on CW/ON, (Cl tank light off in order to fire from forward missile bays), Master arm on, RADAR selected via command in AMS, and, if INTLK switch IN, a target must be locked and within launch params. Then use TACPACK Trigger to fire.

You sure the target is actually locked ie stage 2 locking and not just stage 1 where you need to move the range strobe onto the target?

Me too ! Everything works but no matter what I try can’t get Sparrow to fire to work. I’ll try to uninstall and reinstall when I can. Love the airplane and Melviz creations. Thanks anyway ! Jim
