Gotcha Posted April 7, 2023 Posted April 7, 2023 Sometimes during a mission my weapons don´t fire, evem with all controls set. The release buttons and related keys are all in right position. And when I select a rocket pods different of HE, the same happens... Has someone the same issue ?
Sarowa Posted April 7, 2023 Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) This is a common issue in the F-5 because of how particular the jet is about certain switches and modes. I developed these checklists based on my experience over the past year and a half of flying the F-5 almost exclusively, and mostly on Enigma Cold War (ECW). *** F-5 "can't deploy stores" checklist rotary switch set to bombs or rockets, as appropriate pylon switch(es) on for the desired pylon(s) if bombs, set fuse switch (nose + tail works fine) jettison switch off return to search (from dogfight mode) *** F-5 "can't fire missiles" checklist wingtip missile pylon switches on msl/gun switch on jettison switch off rotary bomb/rocket switch off *** F-5 "can't fire missiles" alternate checklist (not tested) dogfight missile mode Edited April 7, 2023 by Sarowa 1
Gotcha Posted April 12, 2023 Author Posted April 12, 2023 Hi. Thanks for your replay. Unfortunately, all these parameters are set, and sometimes the weapons just not work... I really dont know what could be...
razo+r Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 Attach a short track of your issue so we can check what's wrong with your plane/settings.

Gotcha Posted April 13, 2023 Author Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) No, it's all verified and on order. Its appearing to be a really bug... If I repeat a mission, is ussual to occours the problem. Sometimes it occours at the first time. Its very annoying... And, in fact, I realize that if a select rockets, only one specific type works (HE) . The others, not... I moved to another PC, and the problem remains... Any other idea to try ?

End the flight, go to the debriefing screen, press "save track" and upload the saved track here.

Gotcha Posted April 15, 2023 Author Posted April 15, 2023 Here follow the log. Its interesting that on the second pass to the target (after have launche my bombs) the rockets doesn't worked. But when I watch again the mission and took control, I tried to use the weapons before reach the target and all of them worked. In adition, all the times, after a certain point on route, my designated communication button on my thrust control stops working, and I have to use the mouse to click on th virtuall communication button on game. I took the extra caution to assure that DG or DM mode were unselected. Any clues ? deb.log

Gotcha Posted May 9, 2023 Author Posted May 9, 2023 Sorry guys, I was on vacation... I will try to record the video and post here.
Gotcha Posted June 25, 2023 Author Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Hello guys. Sorry for the late As promised, I am attaching a video showing a situation where the rockets didn´t work... I did select the correct position on the knob and pilon keys. At this time, the bombs have worked. Sometimes both of them simply do not work. I don´t know why. It´s a kind of random luck... Any help will be very welcome. PS. An important note: My radar was off. And my configured switch to be used on DG/DM mode wasn't selected anytime.

What you need to do is simplify them. Place down your F-5 with the same loadout in the mission editor with an air start and demonstrate the issue there.
Solution Gotcha Posted July 10, 2023 Author Solution Posted July 10, 2023 Hello guys. I believe that I found the problem and the solution. When you have the DM and DG mode configurated on some key, if you use it the weapons won´t fire, even after you have deselected it after the use. But if you select and deselect it again (twice), all weapons will work properly. I took some time to find the solution, but it appears that is it. Thank you all for the support. Regards.
