From Cannons back to inner or outer stations

[AldoUSMC]

Wingmen,

 

A bit confused. When I switch to cannons in a run, then try to switch back to outer or inner weapons stations my KA-50 seems to want to stay on cannons. I've gone back and read the manual, checked switches, hit reset on the weapons control panel, undesignated target, hit the "Y" and "I" buttons too. Once in cannons I just seem to be stuck with them. I do have rockets and missiles left, just can't seem to figure out what I'm not doing right to switch back.

 

Any thoughts ?

 

Thanks & Semper Fidelis

"sellect" cannon again :) This will unsellect it.

"c" to select cannon. This selection overide other selected weapons (missils or rockets).

 

You can see your cannon selected by looking at your virtual stick in the cockpit, you should see the guard raised on the stick.

 

That and the cannon reticule on the HUD.

its like the real cockpit.there are 2 different triggers for gun and pods and you have to switch between them.there should be a picture of the stick in the documentation or here in the forums where you can see how it works.you gotta pull the gun trigger up and rocket trigger down(and reverse) and thats what the c key virtually does

 

edit: flight manual part 2-5 is where its explained

To put it simply and correctly - it's a toggle function operated using one key (key command).

While not directly to your question it may be relevant. If you use an X52 (pro or reg) you can bind the cannon mode to the first trigger stage and the second trigger stage to fire. Upon release of the trigger it will default back (un-toggle cannon mode) to whatever mode you were in (shkval etc.).

 

Makes cannon snap shots a breeze for me.
