Jettison Issue, I think.

[Rowan]

So I am attacking some slow movers using the gun, I approach the slow movers from behind, flick the master arm switch, lock the target on the radar, flip the guns switch to on and proceed to send the slow mover to meet its maker, however, I then switch off the gun, jettison the center-line external fuel tank because it is empty, switch the gun back on and after that I cannot lock onto the next target and my guns will not fire.

 

I looked around the forums and didn't see any reference to this type of problem. Am I missing a procedure of some kind?

After fuel tank jettison, did you put the SEL JET switch back to the right, cover closed ?

Yep.

Ok, I figured out what I was missing, seems after jettisoning the tank I need to push the Weapons Selector Button One and then everything works again. Tried it three times now and that seems to be the problem, I missed a step.:doh:

We observed the same yesterday. After deselecting the jettison switches you have to press the PCA button - on which the fuel tank hung before - once again, to lock a target.

 

I don't know, if this is correct or a bug.

I'll check and fix

I remember this issue driving me insane a few months back.

You can also you the HOTAS "AA gun select" command for a quicker selection.

IRL HOTAS command is the only way to select AA gun. :smilewink:
