F16 not tracking

[jryankeefan03]

Any time I use aim-120s I can’t lock onto targets. I make sure to have master arm on air to air mode on datalink on aim-120 selected radar at the correct elevation but no matter what I can’t get a track file on radar. I’ve tried both TWS and RWS and I still can’t get a track file even if the bandit is right in front of me. Anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?

the FCR (why steam censor the word?)F.C.R screen is blank or you just cant lock?
system is complicated and no one want to 'guessing' your mistake.
you should upload a short replay track to the https://forum.dcs.world/ to demonstrate the issue.

Bandits appear on page just can’t lock.

If you are seeing hollow squares or triangles, then you have data link contacts but are not physically in position to acquire a target track.

If you see chevron symbols on the contact, then you are being jammed.

If your F.C.R. screen is blank, then either you have not switched on the F.C.R., or you are likewise not in position to acquire a target track.

Onboard contacts (i.e. "lockable") will be solid squares or triangles.

All of this assumes you're using correct F.C.R. (argh, censorship) control inputs with the TMS, and nothing is wrong with your game. Without actually seeing what's happening, that's all I've got. Maybe post a short video, or a replay/Tacview, or even a screenshot.

If the Aircraft is at same level, make sure you've set propper PRF frequency.
