Enabling weapons?

[Diplocaulus]

This may be a really noobish question not even related specifically to the BF 109, but I've noticed when flying the basic quick start and takeoff missions that I can't get either the machine guns or cannon to fire. They appear to be loaded, and I flip the weapons enable switch, but nothing happens when I pull the trigger(s).

 

Meanwhile the weapons work fine when flying the intercept and dog fighting missions. Is there a setting in the mission builder? Or am I just missing something basic.

 

Thanks.

You need to raise the master arm switch, raise the trigger on the stick, arm the MK108 canon by the switch on the base of the stick (left). I'm not sure that arming the 108 is mandatory now or if it was just an un-jam button and not like the arming buttons in Mig21. For bombs you need to select one of the fuse modes, on the left dive on the right skip, first turn "delay on" second turn (to bottom almost) "no delay"

It´s most likely the safety - remove it with "LShift + Space" after arming the Master Arm switch with "C" and guns / cannon should work.

Thanks everyone. I'll give it a try.

 

UPDATE: Yep! Works like a charm. :thumbup:
