In 2000 i made a small training campaign for Janes F/A18 called "air to air training"
This a video version of the third mission:step by step instruction with subtitle on how to lock and launch the AIM9x advanced short range missile
in uncaged mode.
the delay after the lock tone is to demonstrate the 180 degree target tracking and locking of the AIM9x in uncaged mode.
The mini campaign can be downloaded at:

There's some sort of "Helmet Mode" in the uncaged mode for the AIM-9X iirc..
I think you just have to padlock a target provided the 9x seeker is uncaged. Wait for a good tone then fire away..
Oh the good times ^^
