QuiGon Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Jak, thank you for the steps, but I have already tried those steps multiple times...still no diamond If you don't get the diamond you're not pressing the correct button. Check your keybinds again for the Sensor Select Switch (SCS). It's a 4 way switch which you have to press in the direction of the display you want to make active: - SCS right to make the right DDI active. - SCS left to make the left DDI active. - SCS up to make the HUD active. - SCS down to make the MPCD active. If you have your harm page on the left DDI you need to press SCS left to make it active (diamond appears in the upper right corner of the display). You also need to have the harm page in TOO mode before you can make it active.

Xxx Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 If memory serves, the EW (RWR) should be able to be made SOI (Sensor of Interest) and then the emitter selected via a movable cursor. In other words, the HARM can be designated from the EW display. This position is the weapons primary INS location before launch. I can't fire a HARM in TOO as yet, but will keep fiddling with button assignments.:joystick: There needs to be an option to select missile loft or aircraft loft mode, as this affects launch range. Speaking of range, there should also be an *in range" cue on the HUD, with a numerical range to target. With missile loft mode it should enter a "loiter" phase if emitter is lost and if the emitter remains silent, the weapon will attack the last known position in it's INS.

AG-51_Razor Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Silly question here but I gotta ask. Are you guys pulling the trigger or pushing the weapons release button?? I believe that anything that "shoots" away from the aircraft, such as the gun or any of the missiles requires that you pull the trigger instead of pushing a button. I could be wrong but I seem to recall that this is true for the HARM at least. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trigger does release A/A missiles, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jak525 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Go to your keybindings menu. Press whatever button you have bound to the FLIR FOV/RAID/HARM sequencer button. Make sure it jumps to said binding and highlights it. If it doesn't, the button isn't being registered. If it does highlight, you have some other problem. Also, in the track you posted, you did not assign TDC priority to the left DDI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bard17 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 OK so working through some things..Can fire the rockets with the stick or keyboard..can't fire the sidewinders though..thinking there is some kind of issue with input..anyone ever heard of that before..seems to be only with f-18 plane..never had this issue at all before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bard17 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 tied to assign but it wouldn't go there...must be an input issue? Should I remove and reinstall the mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bard17 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 yeah..some sort of weird input issue...reinstalled the mod still can shoot,,sidewinders, HARM...I key wont cycle targets.....I'm open to thoughts...very frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonsky7 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 You could try going to DCS World/Mods/aircraft/FA-18C/Input/FA-18C/joystick delete/move all the files except the default.lua you might have to re-do your bindings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Kazansky Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) ok, thank you for the track file. I don't know if you have tried to fire the Harm in SP mode. But I could see in TOO mode that you did not have the diamond on the HARM's DDI, so you are not able to hand off a target to the HARM and you are not able to cycle thru the emitters. Therefor you will have to find your "Sensor Conrol Switch - left" keyboard binding. Depress it (left SCS) as soon as, (or just before) you are ready to hand off the target to the HARM seeker (which is done by Cage/Uncage button "C" by default, I think). You can only fire a HARM if there is a "RDY" below the "HARM" in the top left DDI, as it was in your track when you selected "SP" mode. But this would all be senseless if you can't fire the (RDY) HARM in SP just by using WPN release button (right ALT + space by default).

Tom Kazansky Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 And for your Sidewinder fire problem: With a X52-HOTAS you have to bind the "cannon's 2nd detent"-key (don't know how this is called by DCS in english) to the X52 stick's trigger (1st klick "JOY_BTN1", for the X52 has two klicks on the trigger: JOY_BTN1 and JOY_BTN15). I guess you have tried that too, don't you? Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bard17 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Thanks Tom. Yes I cant even fire it in SP mode..I tried to switch the DDI..but the Sensor Control left wont register..I will try the other delete idea. Did get the sidewinder working. That was my error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Kazansky Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Ok. Would you mind providing us with the X52 and the keyboard profile files of your FA-18C? I have a X52 here and would like to have look at those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
