you should just have to scope up and aim at it for a few secs , the javellin will beep then let out a high pitched whine when its locked on then you can fire , if its not doing this it may be a bug , you should really patch the game up with all available updates before you start playing , gets rid of all the little bugs

ps make sure you watch the missile launch and destroy the target.it looks fantastic

Make sure that you aren't too close to your target and make sure nothing is blocking your vision.

you cant get anywhere near the target....its about a mile away on a bridge

Thanks for all youre replys, All i had to do was restart the level and it worked first time, the white target box appeared after a second or so,Thanks

Glad you got it fixed.

Later.
