Mission 4 - Can't Launch Fox-2!

[Shahriar0]

In the Radar Intercept mission, I follow the instructions and get to STT lock the bandit, roll behind it and ready to take the shot but trigger does not launch Fox-2! I have good tone, missile is uncaged, even locked via PAL. Everything seems to be ready but no launch! I tried the mission twice with same result. Obviously I am missing something. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I believe the culprit is the Space key assignment used for Trigger and Spacebar used in campaign to advance as part of controlling the progression of tasks. I reassigned the Trigger key and it launched without any issue. Since Space is the default key assigned by Heatblur, I don't understand why others are not running into this issue the way I did!? Since this campaign is my very first DCS campaign, I am not familiar with how this is supposed to be handled. At any case, I will reassign the Trigger until I finish this before going back to using Space as the default key.

 

Edit: I clear my Hotas assignments for all modules inside DCS and use a program to manage the key bindings outside the DCS. Folks who did not run into this most likely are using Hotas with assignments managed inside DCS.

Yes, that may be it. The thing is, the 'spacebar' input is not customizable in DCS so the only solution is to change your module assignments.
