Deselecting AG Guns

[mettschnitte]

After selecting AG guns i seem to be stuck there. I tried a bunch of buttons including Auto Acq, Boat and Coolie, pressing both long and short but i didn't manage to escape guns mode. There's also no hint in the Manual. Have you found a way?

I have assigned my TMS warthog for it, and to exit from Guns, I cannot go TMS UP (FWD) but I have to first go to TMS Right (short range missiles) and then press TMS Forward (medium range missiles), While I suppose it should allow me go directly from GUNS to MRM with the TMS Down (Guns) to TMS UP (MRM) but it won't allow me.

No, because it's not physically possible. It's the 3-pos switch with SRM in the middle so you have to go through the center.

Check manual pages 72-73.

Weapon / Mode Switch also has three positions: Forward (Medium Range Missile), Center (Short Range Missile) and Aft (Auto Guns / A/A mode command).

Aha.. but the animation in the throttle makes it goes the right position so why not just allow it to just move the the desired position as the animation? In the F14 is the same, and I can select any I want independently where the 3D switch is, or the function is active at that moment.

It's for the pit builders so they could program the switch/rotary which has to be moved anyway.

To wrestle this thread back on topic. No I haven't been able to find a way to deselect AG guns other than switching to a PACS program that has other weapons in it. If you have nothing but the gun, I think you are stuck.
