unable to select 530 after selecting magic

[MobiSev]

Once the Magic is selected, the weapon selector buttons no longer respond. I am unable to select the 530, gun, etc. no matter what I do.

You have to use the command “PCA Select” to cancel Magic mode and return to 530.

9. Trying to select a weapon on the PCA when the system is in CAN or MAGIC modes is not possible.

 

Jojo might have answered your initial question like 20 times in the last days, hope he uses copy/paste :D

It’s by design.

Real throttle has a a 3 positions paddle: CNM

Canon: AA gun (CAN mode in the HUD)

Neutre: PCA selection

Magic: obvious (MAG mode in the HUD)

 

For normal use, you select the weapon on PCA (like 530 or AG weapon).

But if a close threat appears and you need to engage with gun or Magic, you use the throttle to select either one, and you use special mode forward/ aft to select close combat radar mode.

 

When you’re done, you return the throttle paddle to Neutral position and you return to PCA previously selected weapon.

 

CAN and MAG can only be selected on the throttle on the real aircraft too, while CAS (AG gun), 530 and others AG weapon are selected on the PCA.
