Custom ships : Radar-missiles config - 5/17/2016 4:05:30 PM

Hello,

I'm building a scenario where I use the generic Catobar ship which comes without sensors and weapons, but when I add sensors and weapons, I can't make the ship fire on a target. I got this message on the weapon allocation screen : "No weapon director available to illuminate the target", even though I have a radar that is supposed to works with the missiles fitted.

So how can I make all this works ?
Is there a way to indicate to the weapons what sensor they should follow ? Or it's just a question of choosing special stuff in the DB ?

The save is attached

Edit 2 : What's the ID for the ESSM missiles ?

I've checked your scenario. This variant of AN/SPG-62 radar is unable to illuminate ESSM-C. You have to use a non-ABM version of AN/SPG-62 (ID 1599), or a different missile.

You can open a Database Viewer, check platforms that are by default equipped with the weapon system you want to use (its guidance radar will be mentioned in the mounts table) and pick a sensor that best suits to your purpose.
