Huey - Can't shoot

[Reflected]

For some reason I can't fire my guns or rockets in 2.5.1. In the controls menu it's assigned, but sort of greyed out too. I used to be able to shoot, and I know the switchology.

 

In the controls menu, when I press other buttons, it jumps to that line. Not the "fire MGs" button, though.

 

Any ideas?

A buddy of mine and I have flown the Huey recently and haven't had this issue manifest itself yet. I'll have to check and see what I have my trigger for the guns mapped too after I get home from work. I'll report back unless someone else has the answer for you before then.

Same here.

 

 

We tried a 3 player MP mission. Only the host was able to shoot. Both clients did not.

Ok, so as promised i'm back :). My current setup has my gun trigger mapped as the Pilot weapons release/machine gun trigger. Maybe that might help?

I have the same problem.

Today I started DCS and it worked right from the beginning. Very strange...

I have the same issue, button is assigned, but when you pull the trigger nothing happens.

 

Even if you use the default keyboard profile button, it just doesn't detect the press on the in-game joystick

me too as well as the Hip

This may be well known already but I have had this happen when the copilot ROE is anything except Hold. It puzzled me for a while.

When I had this issue, I tried that, but it didn't help.

You need to clear, click default and rebind the key in the controls panel of the Huey.

 

I dont know why but some keybindings are messed in some keys, like in the Mig-21 and the Huey.

 

Just Clear-Default-Rebind

[Shadow KT]

Cleared the whole category, defaulted it and it still doesn't recognise the default key (space) for shooting

[Esac_mirmidon]

Rebind the key.

[Shadow KT]

Do I have to make a video of me going trough this process and it not working :lol:

[Esac_mirmidon]

I dont know.

 

I had the same issue and reseting, clearing and rebinding It fixed the problem

[Shadow KT]

Okay I did everything again

 

Clear -> Save

Default -> Save

Bind to a random key -> Save

 

Load a helicopter in game, press the button looking at the stick, nothing. No visual movement on the stick....

 

(until now I've done all my tests without weapons)

 

I say to my self....hmmm maybe for some reason I need to have the master arm on ARM to be able to push the button (which makes no sense)

 

I flip em on, I press the random key I assigned and It FIRED. It worked...., but visually the button doesn't move...

 

Maybe all this time I had it fixed, but because I didn't have weapons and I didn't see the button move I thought it was screwed...

 

So in conclusion, CLEARING, DEFAULTING AND REBINDING DOES WORK,

 

but the ANIMATION ON THE CYCLIC IS BUGGED

[Esac_mirmidon]

Thats what i was saying. I didn catch the lack of animation but it was working for me.

 

Glad you fix it

Had the same issue, can confirm that rebinding the key's solves the problem.
