F-14 ISSUE WOE2

[Taterd]

To all,

 

I downloaded the F-14A Update Mod and followed the instructions to install it. I went and got the original mod as directed then added the update as directed to WOE2. I can now use the Tomcat but cannot load the AIM-54C any ideas? Not real clear about using the weapons editor that is called for, but I can use the new Droptank and AIM-54A. I am also not sure on how to lock the AIM-54A or C onto a target. They are suppose to be fire and forget long range missiles but I do not get any lock? Any help this extroidinary group can give me would be appreciative.

You still need to acquire and track a target before launching the AIM-54s. The initial procedure is the same as for any SAHM missile (such as a Sparrow), the difference being that once the Phoenix (or any AHM) begins tracking on its own, it no longer requires guidance from the launch platform (in the AIM-54's case, usually after 10-15 seconds have elapsed).

 

The Phoenix is best used at ranges between 25 & 100 nm, as it climbs to high altitude during its flight. (note, not all data.ini files for that missile have this coded in).

 

The following tutorial is for the F-4 & F-15, but the basics apply to all aircraft in the series.
