Questions about operating the F-4 Phantom

OrtusOrigin

Is there any use for the Targeting Camera (Ctrl + Sec. Mouse Button)? It seems useless because at least in the A10 you can use it to guide MACERs and stuff.

How do I know if the Aim-9/Aim-7s are locked on? There isn't any pilot helmet HUD and on the radar they don't seem to give the lock on diamond.
Instead, they were just boxed and when I fired they automatically went towards the target even though the radar doesn't display so. Is that it?

Is there a way for me to customize the munitions installed on the Phantom by myself?

Oh and lastly, how do I launch napalm? I can't drop it no matter what weapon I cycle to as a pilot...

First off, I welcome anyone correcting me, but to your first question: There are two crosses - one black and one white. I believe the white cross is where your bomb will hit if released at that time. You really need a backseater who is looking in through the "sight" and guiding you as the pilot.

To your last question: If you are alone in the aircraft, scroll your mouse wheel and choose "MANUAL FIRE" and you will be able to pickle the weapons generally designated for the backseater. Just remember to cancel manual fire if you need to switch to the pilot's weapons.

Hope this helps some.

I have uploaded a relatively simple mission to practice using the WSO bombsight:

Just follow the instructions in the briefing and enjoy!
