I've only got bakc into JtL after a lay off of a few months, and now I'm ploughing forward through the 4th Tier, but I've just fitted a new Missile Launcher and I'm not getting the Target Lock and noise thing, leaving me unable to fire missiles.


Any ideas?

make sure your launcher is assigned to an ordinance group, make sure you have a fire ordinance button, and oh yeah, maybe before that make sure the launcher has power.

Might want to check to make sure you loaded missles in the launcher. More than once this has been a problem for pilots I have encountered.

Yeah, the strange thing is that the target lock isn't functioning, and when i press the Ordnance Fire button, it tells me no target has been aquired.

Just a note sounds like you have the missle launcher loaded right, it might be that it is assigned to a different ordance group than what your trigger is firing. This has happened to me when i had more than one type of missle load out and i assigned them to ord group 2 and 3 and my button on joystick was programed to fire ord, group 1 (therefor nothing was assigned to that group), easy to remedy if thats your problem.

If the missles are empty, you should still get tone.
If the missles are not assigned to any weapon group, it's as if they are not even there.

Yeah I played around with the Ordnance settings and keymmaps last night (during a very hectic mission) and I now get the lock tone. Still can't fire anything, but I do get the lock...which is a start!
