Cannot get HARMS turned on!

So sorry to do this to y'all. I have googled it, I have watched the vids. I went through Chuck's guides.

HARMS on station. ME mission I created, flying toward a Fan Song site. I start in HSD (right MFD). Power on pylons left/right (for some reason not on in air start ME). Hit AG mode from ICP, make sure Master ARM is on. Wanting to go HARM HAS mode.

I end up at SMS page, no HARMS listed. nada. If I go into inventory, they are there, but I cannot select them from the OSB's relevant to them. WPN page shows OFF. I cannot turn them on. I have removed all weapons from all stations except the two HARMS to try and trouble shoot.

I know it is something simple, but I have literally spent 3 hours on this collectively. I even watched WAGs video on HARM in HAS.

Appreciate any help, no matter how dumb I will feel afterwards.

If you rearm your jet, and move before saying "reaming complete"; the SMS page will not update. You will have your weapons on wings but the avionics will not show them. This could be one reason...

What stations do you have the HARMs? If they’re on 4&6 they won’t work

 

And you don’t need L/R chin power on for HARMs. That’s for TGP power when fitted (5Right)

On stations 3 & 7 - I was turning those on, as I am still learning and didn't understand the relationship.

3/7 will get power automatically once jet is powered up. Then SMS page in A-G to power up 88Cs

This is in air start. I select A-G, and the SMS page comes up, but no weapons displayed:

Then if I select INV, I can see them, but selecting them with OSB yields nothing. I am stuck in a loop. no ability to power them on.

It appears you are in MSL override mode. An A-A sub mode. This is selected using the DGFT switch. You need to ensure that this is cancelled before going to A-G.

Lo, the clouds parted and the sun shone brightly!

Thank you so much. Once I knew what to look for (as I have only done full startup, taxi, landing lessons), I found the section in Chuck's Guide. Was already mapped to my TM HOTAS, the BHOT and WHOT thumb switch in MAV mode for the A-10C. Worked like a charm. It was forward, putting me in MSL OVERRIDE, and locking me out.

Much appreciated!

What you said in the first part is incorrect. HARMs do work on stations 4 and 6 in the current open beta. ED hasn't made the decision to take them out. I just fired HARMs from 4 and 6 last night.
