Cant fire weapons except cannon in demo of lockon?

[emperixx]

I have the demo version of Lockon. I would like to fire all the various weapons the aircraft has on board. I press the 7 key and then the D key to cycle through the weapons, but all that happens is that the cannon fires. Is this normal or am I missing something here?

First: check if you have air to ground weapons mounted.

Second: check if you are using the right fire command button (different buttons can be set for missiles/bombs or cannon)

Third: check out if cannon is selected - "C" (you will notice hud changing accordingly)

Which aircraft ?

 

See the Lock-On manual / keycards

for details or look up the key settings under options/input. All the key settings are listed there and can be changed.

I have checked all the key commands, and the only one (I dont have a joystick) that can be used to launch a weapon is the space bar. Unfortunatley when I press D and press C to make sure the cannon is not selected, nothing happens.

For releasing a weapon other than the cannon, usually a 'target lock' is required and the target must be 'in range' to get the weapon computers 'launch authority'.

 

For A2G weapons, you have to switch to the aircraft's A2G mode and have to select an appropriate weapon.

Same applies for A2A engagements.

 

There is no alternative than to get familiar with the weapons and attack modes of the aircraft that you choose to fly.

 

Lock-On is no arcade game or shooter, ya know.....

The demo did not have the separate cannon/ launch buttons- That came in 1.02 I think..

 

You are not following the procedures to launch a weapon. The cannon must be powered OFF- and you usually need a target locked and within the missiles' envelope.

Are U sure you've got any missiles/bombs/rockets at all in that demo mission you're flying?!!
