― Weapon Description

The AIM-120D is an advanced variant of the regular AIM-120C missile. It is available to the F-45A and EF-24G.

Usage

The AIM-120D features a single setting within the EQUIP menu.

MADDOG: Allows you to fire the AIM-120D without a radar lock by holding down the trigger for 3 seconds.
- ON/OFF

Enable the Master Arm switch.
Open the RADAR page on an MFD screen and set it to SOI.
Turn on the aircraft's radar.
Select the AIM-120D as your current weapon.
While holding the flight stick, use the thumb stick to slew the TAC over an air target. Click-in the thumb stick once for TWS on the target. Click it again to switch to STT.
- Note: The AIM-120D can be fired using either tracking mode.
Once in range, the Range Launch Authorization Lights will come on and the aircraft's Voice Warning System will announce: "Shoot!" Pull the trigger to fire the missile.
- When launched, the missile will display a Time-to-Impact indicator on the HUD, displaying the letter T next to the estimated time.
The launching aircraft must maintain a radar lock on the target until the missile's own radar can achieve a lock. The Voice Warning System will announce: "Pitbull!" and the Time-to-Impact on the HUD will display the letter M instead. The missile will now guide itself and no further action from the launching aircraft is required.
