Blackbird Sims / Milviz Forum Archive

Just purchased the TP expansion and I can't seem to get Sparrows to fire. I set the radar missile button in AMS, and with master arm in safe mode I can select the missiles, but if master arm is in arm mode, I cannot select radar missiles, it just says arm in red below the A/A selection lights. So if I try and engage with radar missiles selected with master arm set to safe, I can acquire a lock but the missile will never fire. I have no issues using Sidewinders. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? I just downloaded the TP addon the other day so that's got to be current version, however I'm not sure if my F-4 installation is current. My zip says V1.161120. Any help is appreciated

You remembered to turn on the radar missiles? It is a switch just below their set of lights if I recall correct. Set it to CW.

Yes I set that and ITLK doesn't seem to matter what position it's in. I do get the ready lights for the sparrows. It seems the issue is I cannot select radar missiles after engaging master arm. In the manual it says to select Radar then hit master arm. When I do this, the radar light extinguishes and I can only select gun or heat.

screenshot of your instrument panel please.

We can close this thread. After watching the instructional video for about the 10th time, I realized the CW switch has 3 positions. I was trying to operate the missiles in STBY mode. All is well now.
