Problem with IR missiles

[tiopilotos 2,504]

I have a problem with the IR versions of AA-6 Acrid and AA-7 Apex (the ones from the ordnance pack). Missiles R-23/24T and R-40T/TD/TD-1 behave as SARH missiles. They need a target to be tracked, so that they can be launched plus the characteristic IR sound can not be heared. The guidance in weapons editor has been selected as "Heat Seeking".

 

Can it be a problem of the launch aircraft? I mean is it possible to be an IRST fault or avionics fault of Floggers or Foxbats? In the meanwhile, stock R-23/24T is OK.

Any thoughts?

I'd just edit the weapons to be IR missiles. In the weapons editor its pretty easy to change, or via text editing.
