Weapon Select/Deselect.

[Thinder]

Hi! I haven't been playing DCS for long and had to solve diverse problems with my PC but now that it is all sorted I need to figure out a few things in order to go through missions properly.

 

 

I didn't manage to find a solution for weapon selection and deselection:

 

 

1) If I select Magic II, I find it impossible to go back to R530.

 

 

2) HUD and PCA will keep displaying the weapon menu, particularly annoying after using the gun, because I will not have the APP option, no AoA/speed bracket for landing and the Gun snake will still be displayed in the HUD.

 

 

I don't think it's a bug, simply that there are procedure I haven't figured our yet.

 

 

Any tips? Thanks in advance.

1. There is a 3-position switch on the throttle for choosing between cannon, magic, and PCA. Normally you choose "530" on the PCA so the three positions on that switch give you your three AA weapons. Make sure you have a way to achieve all three positions of that switch.

 

2. Sometimes after you shoot 530 the PCA label light goes out but it's still selected. Make sure your "CNM" switch is neutral and you press the second PCA button on the lower row if you had 530's selected previously, even if it's blank currently. That should dump you back into navigation mode (e.g. APP is shown as a label).
