20mm gun ammunition is missing

[fencible]

When I enter a mission in F14-B there is no gun ammunition when I get airborne. I specify 100% gun ammunition in the mission, and I have tried reloading ammo before the mission, specifying 100%.  But when airborne, I find the gun has 0 under the G in the hud when gun is selected in A to A mode.

You should have ammo in the gun it just sounds as though you have not reset the Gun Rounds Counter, if you are cold starting it will show you having 0 rounds in the gun despite it being loaded. The counter is immediately to the right of the arresting hook lever.

Wingmate,  Thank you for that advice...I did do as you said. Still, however, when I go to gun mode with safety off, the ammo counter reset, the gun will not fire. All 3 missile types launch successfully, but no gun.

When I run a training session the gun works, of course, but there seems to be an issue with home-made missions.

Sounds like you didn't turn your air source on ("both"). The gun won't work with air source off.

Has there been any update to cook the avionics if air source is left off?

Air source is set to 'BOTH'. Counter is set to 670. Safety is off. No fire from the gun.

As I said, the gun works in the dogfight training mission. It seems to be the home made mission that this happens in.

Works fine for me, definitely not a "known" problem. 

Are your keybindings set up correctly? Any double binding or conflicts? Is your weapon select setting working as is should? 

Then again, you mentioned that you can fire missiles, so this is kind of mysterious.

Does it happen only with missions you've made yourself, or all missions that start from cold and dark?

Post a track of the issue so we can have a look aswell.

If we could see the mission as well that would be helpful
