A-10 can only fire gun

[BlitZ_SWE]

Hey guys!

 

I have recently started with LockOn again after some time away from it(when i played i had only done the UPT and the A-10 training missions so i didnt get very far) and I am a real newbie at this. I thought I should start with the A-10 because it seems to be the easiest and Dog fighting seem to be very hard with the other jets.

 

My problem is that my gun is the only weapon that fire, even when i select rockets or maverick missiles. So it doesnt matter what weapon i choose, the gun will fire when i press the trigger or the spacebar. I know i have selected the other weapons correctly because i have done it before and it worked good. Come to think of it when it did work it was pre-FC and now when i do have FC i get the problem. I havent tested to only run on version 1.02 to see if it works. I followed the FAQ of how to install FC correctly. i have formatted my computer due to other windows related problems(like everybody else eventually..=) and the result is the same after as before.

 

My specs is

 

Windows XP home SP2

Dell dimension 4700

3GB DDR2 Ram

ATI X1950 Pro

Soundblaster 7.1 audigy

X52 flightstick

Saitek Pro pedals

No other USB devices connected or installed

 

Is there anybody that have had the same problem and got it solved. i have search this forum and the web with no result.

With Flaming Cliffs they separated the gun trigger, and the trigger for everything else.

 

Spacebar is now for guns, bombs and missiles are Enter.

 

 

It's in the readme somewhere.

Thanks for the fast reply!!

 

Readme? are you suppose to read those? is it why the are called readmes?

 

hehe only joking but thanks for the info. I will try and see if i can configure the x52.

 

Thanks alot!

 

A followup question is: should i really be able to fire my gun when i have selected some other weapon and why do this thing happen only with the A-10 and not with the other planes?

They changed this to make it more like real life US jets (A-10 and F-15) as they have seperate trigger/button for gun/other weapons. The Russian jets were not changed as they do not have seperate trigger/button.

 

This change was actually done in the vanilla Lockon v1.02 patch so likely is not in the FC readme file since that change was mentioned in the v1.02 readme.
