Typically you have to switch Master Arm On, Laser On and press I or Y to select inner or outer hardpoints.

 

Can't imagine what you may do wrong... you should post a track!

[GuntiNDDS]

To switch from the Cannon to one of the wing mounted weapons you need to first deactivate the Cannon (i think C is the default key assignment) and then select the inner or outter weapon mount (you can assign keys to them in the options, dont now the default assignment).

Depending on your selection either the Outer or Inner leds will then lit up to indicate the selected weapon/mount.

Also make sure you have weapons mounted before you take off :D

...also, the weapons release button is seperate from the fire cannons trigger...and, if you have done all as above (master arm, laser, inner/outer pylon selected, weapons mounted, weapons parameters met) then you need to press and hold the Weapons release button, not just "click" it.

also if you have the cannon selected you cant fire weapons.

also if you have the cannon selected you cant fire weapons.

Except when you use gunpods. Then you can spit it all at the same time! :devil_2:

havent tryed that. didn't think it was posable.

[Bucic]

I discovered that a month ago or so while working on my X52 Pro profile. I mapped (in-game) cannon to my first trigger pos and wep release to my second trigger pos. Then... it went TRRROOOOT nicely one time during MP session :)

Is there another method to use other than the double trigger?

How should my switches be configured?

Doesn't that throw off your aim because the cannon is off-center?

(This last question assumes you are making a pass, not hovering.)

[Bucic]

I don't know. Download the official extended manual and read through weapons delivery procedures.

Sounds like a bug. The physical triggers in the Ka-50 shouldn't allow both to be pressed at the same time.

Single trigger FTW ?

 

I use single trigger for blackshark, just edit a file and the weapons all fire from 1 trigger instead of 2, dont know if gunpods and cannon can fire at the same time though, cant recall if I ever tried it.

[Frederf]

That's what I use too.

 

However if someone pressed the "Missile Release" key when the cannon was active, it should not be possible to fire.

Sounds like a bug. The physical triggers in the Ka-50 shouldn't allow both to be pressed at the same time.

IIRC one presses the other in one configuration (the real cyclic).

How do you use single trigger for cannon and missiles?

How do you use single trigger for cannon and missiles?

 

You just enable a parameter in the Shark's config LUAs somewhere. Alas, can't remember any particulars since I haven't flown the beast in years...

Something I noticed recently, maybe its been a glitch for a while, is if you load bombs on either hardpoint the weapons wont work on hardpoints until you select and deselect the cannon. After that they still intermittantly wont work when switching back and forth fron cannon to hardpoints.
