Target locking?
Posted: Fri Aug 26, 2016 8:17 pm
So I've read through the TP manual a couple of times now and from what I understand the process to radar lock a target is this:
Radar Power Knob- OPR
Range Knob- I have it set to 10 nm
Display Knob- I have set to B Wide
Mode Knob- RDR
On/Erase Button- Depressed
Then for launching an AIM-7
The Above +
Sight Open and set to A/A
C/W- On
Pinky switch set to Radar position.
Now i do all of this with the intent to launch an AIM-7, radar screen is on and Sparrow arm lights are lit. I detect a target (BQM-74 in this case) and move the cursor to half action it, only, when I do so nothing happens. The radar screen does not change to the half action mode and the scan bar just continues to swath back and forth. Is there any reason for this? I don't know what I'm doing wrong and its starting to annoy me. I'm following the tutorial manual and the video as closely as possible and everything works the same up until i try to half action. (also why are there no ability to set a key for half and full action?) Any help would be appreciated.
