fencible Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 I have not been able to get bombs to release, nor rockets to fire. I am following very carefully the listed procedures, and all the status lights are correct - but nothing comes off the racks. The gun pod fires as it should when configured to. This seems to be a bug. I have the same issue in the training missions. These issues are seen in the current OpenBeta version
gulredrel Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 There's a weapon release knob cover, which was introduced some time ago. Could you please check if this is open before trying to release a weapon?
fencible Posted March 18, 2020 Author Posted March 18, 2020 There's a weapon release knob cover, which was introduced some time ago. Could you please check if this is open before trying to release a weapon? Do you mean the A/A, A/G switch cover? I believe it is open, as I followed the procedures in the manual. Even if it is closed, however, the switch is defaulted to the air-to-ground position, and A/G weapons should release, no?
mahuja Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 No, there is a pair of covers on the stick itself which has separate controls. That caught me out as well.
fencible Posted March 18, 2020 Author Posted March 18, 2020 Thanks I'll check it out - I have one on-the-stick safety switch, which I open, but you say there are two?
gulredrel Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 There are "Trigger Safety Catch" and "Stores Release Guard" open and close or lock and unlock commands. Fixed Weapons Trigger and Stores Release Button.
fencible Posted March 19, 2020 Author Posted March 19, 2020 Aha! Yes, thank you both - I have found he 'Stores release' cover and programmed it to my HOTAS. Thank you for your patience and help. Different terms are used by different module designers for the similar items. Other makers use the term 'Weapons Release'. 'Stores release' is a new one to me. All is now well, thanks to your help!
