Nice made Video! Some things worth mentioning: 1. At 7:45 you can listen how the sidewinder lock is not completly solid. You should press the Cage/Seam button to acquire a full Lock 2. Every Phoenix launched under 6 to 10 nm will go active anyway and you can break lock 3. The AIM-54C should go active and try to lock on whatever you locked if STT is broken 4. ACM Cover up together with boresight mode will send the phoenix active as well

Excellent tutorial, exactly what I needed when learning about the F14, I wish I'd seen this weeks ago!

Great video, maybe worth mentioning that flipping the ACM covert up, shortens the launch delay for Sparrow and Phoenix from three to one second. Once the range is down to the pilot lock on modes, I find there is usually no drawback in doing so.

Ah, I didn't know this. I thought that switch was only for jettison purposes. Thanks for the clarification!

Loving this latest series. There's no other vids out there on the Tomcat with this level of detail. Please keep em coming !!

What a great video! thank you

Please tell me what an “uncage switch is, i looked in controls and I couldn’t find anything

thanks

i already have an idea about those modes .. i just got in to check how and simlefied is ur tutorial .. it cool i'll ask u to make a BVR Phoenix tutorial from the pilot seat only "using some jester menu commands" without jumping in the RIO seat .. may pleas do it .. 😊

Just thank you……! You have no idea

I like that camo, what skin that is that?

Great tutorial. For some reason I thought the Phenix was a long rang semi active missile that after it’s own radar acquired the target you could turn away & go defensive. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃

It's an active radar guided fox 3 missile when employed by pilot and RIO, the pilot when employing it with the missile switch in normal mode at short ranges though doesn't have any feedback on it's active status and so the best bet is to retain the STT lock.

@@deephack Cheers thanks for that. 👍🏻🙃

6:45 Ok, so my issue is that the diamond shows up after I press the TDS, however I don’t hear the high pitch ringing sound that confirms I have a lock?

are you scott manley

I thought the phoenix is a fox 3 right? It will go pitpull eventually so you don't need to retain lock?

It requires a radar lock from the supporting aircraft until it goes pitbull and without the support of your RIO you don't know when this happens. In many cases when launched like this though it will be pitbull at launch so you may well be able to break lock immediatley.

Also what is a target designator switch, I’m like extremely new to the game

It's listed in the controls with that name, you can map it to whatever you like. Try using the search option in the controls.

Are you on keyboard?
