Having pilot weapons problem

[bflo]

I can't get pilot to fire guns or rockets, trigger guard is opened.   Also in the gunners seat, when the laser is active, no buttons, or key strokes work, only axis controls.  TIA

Pilot.trk Gunner.trk

The pilot one worked OK for me when I took control.  It must be the trigger guard, despite the fact you say you have it open.  Check the bind.

Thanks, I'll take another look, to make sure.

Still not working for me. To fire LHG Weapons trigger switch detents,  open/close trigger guard LAlt +T.

'LHG' sounds a lot like a CPG control to me. Are you sure you are looking at the 'Pilot' tab of controls? Even the ones that are available to both need to be bound individually (can be the same though, of course).

Just a short and simple explanation (without ranging and so on)

 

Shoot as Pilot:

Arm weapons = A/S Button on the Armament and Video Panel left forward side of cockpit (Manual Page 46) to display "ARM" ....and open the Trigger Guard on cyclic

Weapon Action Switch (WAS) on cyclic to WAS intended weapon, e.g. Forward (UP) = G (Gun). Actions/De-actions the area weapon system for employment and slaves the gun to the currently selected sight.

Fire with trigger pull (cyclic) second detent.

 

Shoot as CPG with TEDAC handgrips:

Arm Weapons if not already done by Pilot. (Master Arm is always same state for both seats)

Weapon Action Switch (WAS) on the LEFT TEDAC Hand Grip (LHG).

LHG Weapons Trigger second detent.

 

Hope this could help?

Have you watched his tracks? I guess not as there has only been one download, and that was me!

Thought that was right, but now not sure, I'll check after my downloads finish.

I loaded your Pilot.trk into replay. I assumed control right after you entered A for the guns ranging on the KU.

Triggered the gun with [Weapons Trigger Switch- First Detent]. Gun didn't shoot.

Then I switched [Weapons Trigger Guard - Open].

Then I triggered the gun with [Weapons Trigger Switch- First Detent]

Worked for me. Gun did shoot, no problems.

One of these bindings isn't configured correctly on your end. Your trigger guard is not open or it is but you didn't trigger the shot.

Loaded your Gunner.trk into replay.
Assumed control the moment you fired the laser.
While laser continued, I could switch field of view of the TADS no problem, also changed from FLIR to DTV.

Something isn't configured correctly on your end.

Maybe try some different binding for the laser, to rule out you are using some odd hardware which is preventing any multiple button input.

Thanks Rongor, I'll play with a little tonight, & if I can't resolve the problems, I'll clear out all my bindings, & start over.   I also use voice attack, & play in VR, I'll look at that also.  Thanks to all for the comments.

[bflo]

Well I made some adjustments without starting from scratch, & understand where I went wrong, so I'm good to go.   Thanks

It maybe beneficial if you could explain your solution.  Someone with a similar problem may find it useful.

Glad you resolved it.

My vote goes to Kang hand the answer.

Ok, the gunner laser problem was I had voice attack starting/stopping on a toggle command, it didn't work like I hoped, I'll revisit that latter. The rest I started by putting everything under KB back to default.  Then just going though all my control choices, & change what I needed until I was satisfied.  Had to do some editing in VA also.
