Ground loaded ALQ-184 stuck in STBY (not able to go OPR)

[Scuby]

Hello gents,

 

I need your help understanding a small detail:

 

In a multiplayer session after seating in a cold jet with clean loadout, then after rampstart and loading weapons (via Ground comms), followed by reloading the DTS, it appeared that the loaded ALQ-184 kept indicating STBY on the CMSC and would not engage/indicate OPR, regardless of A/C ground/airbone, CMS panel switch settings and Z-axis.

 

Would there be an additional required step? Maybe I do not see a DSMS setting?

 

I did test the HOTAS Z-axis in Controls menu = OK. I did not test this in local session. I searched the manual and this forum however I could not find a definite answer there.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Cheers, Scuby

I might be misunderstanding your question but Did tou try pressing hotas cms down ( not aft) while airborne ?

Try cycling power to the jammer. I recall seeing something similar.

You need to reload dts and recycle the countermeasures panel. That worked for me.

Ok! Tnx! Next time i'll try cycling the power again.

Last I remember cycling the jammer power on CMS-P did it. I was always turning on all the switches and then arming second. Jammer didn't register properly until I cycled the jammer switch.
