Coota0 Posted February 19, 2024 Posted February 19, 2024 Jumped in to play some DCS and I can't get my weapons to work. I changed the HUD to Air to Air, flipped up the master arm switch, pressed the SW cool and missile prep switches and I couldn't select a weapon. I rebound my switches and when in the assignment screen the buttons I used on my joystick lit up identifying that they worked. The only thing out of the ordinary i did was flip the master arm to training before flipping it up to arm. Any ideas?
ValhallaAB Posted February 19, 2024 Posted February 19, 2024 You need to cycle weapons on the stick, off/bombs, gun, sidewinder, aim-7 and aim-54. it's the big red switch on your right thumb just opposite of the ordinance drop / pickle button. Forward firing weapons use trigger and everything that falls use the pickle button.

Mostly F-4, F-14, F-16, F/A-18 and AJS-37. www.youtube.com/@valhallaab8399

On the RL stick you have to push the weapon selector before you can move it to/out of the OFF position. If you don't have the exact replica allowing that you can either bind the push action to another button or just uncheck DCS options > special > F-14 > Require weapon selector press between OFF and GUN.

Had it bound. once I unticked the box for the press between the gun and off/safe it worked fine. It's just off because I have had that box ticked for years with no issues until yesterday.
