Nothing seems to work

[Gunfreak]

I've done the basic HOTAS setup, if I select gun, the HUD/plane defaults to NAV mode or what ever, I have to hold in the gun selection thing to fire the gun, The magics won't fire, I have lock, I hold in the trigger and nothing happens

Those are some vague descriptions.

Have you followed the manual for the weapons employment?

Are you pressing the second trigger stage?

Yes. Or I wouldn't be able to fire the gun, which I can if I also hold in the gun selection button. If I let go of the button the gun disappear.

Can you show us the mapping for the gun selection? IIRC it's supposed to be a on-off-on toggle switch (not button) like the boat switch on the Warthog throttle. Have you mapped a "special for HOTAS" keybind to a button that should be a switch?

Cheers!

I did a dcs repair and it fixed it. No idea, what was going on there

Have you tried running a repair?

There are two binds allowing to select AA guns.

'CNM AA Gun' does switch to the gun mode

'AA Gun SELECT, else PCA SELECT' does select the gun mode but needs to be kept pressed, it reverts as soon as you release

The second one is meant to be used with a stable switch that locks into position. If you bind it on a push button, it will behave as OP described in the third post.

The real jet use a stable three position switch, with 'C' (Cannon), 'N' (Neutral),  'M' (magic) positions.

Thanks. I have AA Gun Select bound and it used to work without issue. I'll try binding the CNM AA Gun.
