Firing missiles

Hello,

I am doing some of the combat scenarios, and I cannot seem to let loose a missile. The target is targeted, I press the launch missile action (button 2 on my joystick), the missile launcher has a 3d model action of launching a missile... yet no missile comes out.

Why would this be?

Thanks in advance

The missile launcher recoils even if you don't have a target lock. So I think that is what is not happening.

There are 2 types of targeting. The simple select that you need for the gimbaled laser. Then, after doing that, for missiles it's the beeping that stops when the yellow lines either side of the target are solid. That's the target lock. This only happens if the target remains fairly central for long enough and gets lost if the target moves too far out of the cross hairs.

If you stop dead and target the first ship without firing. Wait until the beeping stops then fire the missile it should work. That is no way to win of course. - Assuming it is recon wing.

Sorry if that's not it.

If the launcher visibly recoils at the same time the button is pressed then I don't think it is a firegroup or key problem. It is exactly what would happen if you haven't got the missile lock.
