Close combat Mode Deselection

[IvanK]

I can get into Close Combat Radar modes (CCM) and cycle through the 3 sub modes with the V key.

 

I can do this with either Magic or SR530 as the selected weapon. Manual says if SR530 selected then Radar should return to RWS ... it doesent.

 

Once in CCM I cannot deselect using any combination of weapons and or Keys.

How do I return to Search ?

There is a key programmed for deselection of special modes in the key bindings

[fjacobsen]

Hmmm...

 

Master arm Off and then On again

[CHRISXTR3M3]

No I believe it is under the HOTAS controls

[IvanK]

"D" seems top do it though looking in the keybindings "D" is allocated to "Change Weapons"

 

Manual does actually say "D" to renter RWS.

 

Only way I can change weapons is by the PCA selection buttons.... or C for the guns

[fjacobsen]

It seems the control scheme stems from the SU-25T, so many inputs in the control assignment menu are labelled wrong.

Agreed with fjacobsen.

 

Due to how the M-2000 is designed, there should not be a "change weapon" (cycle weapons) feature.

This is probably a WIP thing (bug) with controls from the 25T retained when they should not.

Agreed with fjacobsen.

Ok though I believe the idea of the Magic HOTAS button on the throttle is meant to be a "Dogfight" type button. in that if it is pressed it immediately takes the weapon system to a Dogfight setting with the MAGIC as the selected weapon.... regardless of previous selections.

[Azrayen]

It immediately selects Magic, yes.

 

In the M-2000 you have:

- one 3-position switch on the throttle. Positions are: Air-to-Air guns, Neutral, Magic

- the PCA, that when the above-mentionned switch is in Neutral, will allow you to select other available weapons through various buttons on the panel.

 

Therefore, there is no single "change weapons" key (D is a left-over from FC3, where this is a standard input).

[IvanK]

Alas the M key doesnt work !

[PiedDroit]

Alas the M key doesnt work !

Remap it (I used RCtrl+M), as it interferes with mapping M for mirrors.

Agreed with fjacobsen.

Sure you can... you make a cycle through PCA bottom row buttons... it's like a "Cycle through weapons". It's just not implemented yet (i hope it will be)

[foxtheancient]

You can select missiles through binds (which are very badly named so it take ages to find in menus) called "Store n SELECT", default LCtrl+n (n for no-numpad number key).

Nice necro, and they are named by their actual names.
