1.4.5.3 SMS in A-A mode:
The AAM SMS base page has the same structure as the A-G
SMS page.
•
OSB #1 displays the current Master Mode and if
pressed selects the A-A gun SMS subpage.
•
OSB #3 is active when infrared weapons are carried and
is displayed
SPOT. It changes the AIM seeker from SPOT to
SCAN.
•
OSB #4 is labelled INV and displays the Inventory page,
should it be needed.
•
OSB #5 (CNTL) is the Control page for the currently
selected weapon.
•
OSB #6 shows the current active weapon, type and
quantity aboard. When depressed the next different A-A weapon loaded hardpoint is selected
in sequence. Please note: the MSL STEP button on the sidestick performs the same function
if held for more than half a second. If held for less than half a second it switches to the next
hardpoint carrying the same type of A-A missile. You can see the hardpoint configuration in
the picture above. Station 1 is currently selected and carrying an AIM-120B. Station 9 carries
the same type of weapon and stations 2, 3, 7 and 8 carry medium range missiles (M)
•
OSB #8 (WARM/COOL) is displayed when infrared weapons are carried and shows the status
of the IR seeker on the missile. Pressing WARM allows you to cool the seeker. This is done
automatically in DGFT mode with MASTER ARM in ARM or SIM.
•
The bottom row has the usual functions including S-J available.
•
OSB #18 is dependent on missile type.
For radar missiles it sets the PRF range and toggles between unknown, large, medium and
small targets. Large is used for bombers, medium is used for fighters and small is used to
intercept missiles (not implemented).
For IR missiles it toggles from BP (Bypass) to TD (Threshold Detection). When set to TD the
missile will automatically uncage. When set to BP the missile needs to be uncaged manually.
•
OSB #19 toggles SLAVE or BORE.
Radar missiles can be set to SLAVE or BORE. When set to SLAVE the missile is slaved to the
FCR and when set to BORE the missile is pointed six degrees below the gun cross and will
fire without command guidance. It will switch on its own radar and go autonomous right after
launch. That’s a MADDOG shot as it will go after the first thing it ‘sees’.
Depressing OSB #1 selects the A-A gun and the A-A gun SMS subpage is displayed:
OSB #1 displays GUN
OSB #2 sets the A-A Gun mode (EEGS etc.) through a subpage
OSB #4 displays the Inventory page
OSB #6 displays the amount of ammo remaining for the gun. 51
means 510 rounds. Each burst is 10 rounds by default.
The bottom row has the usual functions.
OSB #20 is labelled SCOR and toggles ON or OFF.
When ON it allows the BATR circle to be displayed in the HUD
when the gun is being fired as well as the FEDS markers.
The BATR (Bullets at Target Range) circle for EEGS is a 6-mil circle displayed after the trigger is
squeezed and the bullets have travelled to the target. It disappears after the last bullet passes through
the target range (it actually disappears 1 second after the trigger is released; which is good enough for
the time being). The BATR is nothing more than a record of where the gun cross has been pointed
(corrected for gravity drop).
