How to use a long range missile in Usaf?

[feldwebel 0]

I am currently playing Jane's Usaf with Superpro 9.4. Great Game I might add. I was wondering whats the farthest distance you can be to kill a target using an aim-120. And how exactly do you kill a target from a far distance with it? I played the tutorial but it didn't make much sense to me. How do you know when to fire, like is there some sort of shoot cue? And are there any tips to improve my distance kills? Also what signifies Beyond visual range? How far away does a target have to be when you blow it out of the sky to be considered a bvr kill?

In USAF missiles like the AIM-120 are effective to about 40nm..if I remember correctly.... a shoot cue appears as a small triangle below the target designator (TD) box meaning that you're ready to fire...

 

while playing in the 'arcade view' the word 'shoot' will appear at the bottom of the HUD.. but in the cockpit view it's just the small triangle...
