FC2 SU-25T weapons wont fire

[coolts]

Having completed the NATO campaigns’ I am transitioning to the Su-25T and have hit a very basic problem.

I can’t fire any ordnance.

I have started setting up a cougar profile and understand that it uses space = “weapon fire”

I am in range, have a SHKVAL lock, ViKhr’s selected, laser armed, launch authorised, PICKLE – nothing happens. :joystick: (I had a similar issue in FC1.12b but that was because the SU-25T used different picklebutton in that. "Release weapon" IIRC)

I have tried hitting the space bar to remove the HOTAS from the equation. Same thing.

This is in the “instant action” BTW. Do these things come with the safety on now?

This may just be a case of “late Sunday night, England got shafted 4-1, not thinking straight”, but its got me baffled.

Mmmm, keep the button pressed for a second or two ?

when firing a VIKRS you'll see 2 circles on your HUD. Smaller one is cursor slewable position , biggest one is missile launch zone reticle . Did you put those 2 circles one inside the other ? If not , it wont fire ...

I thought that was just in DCS:BS? I wil try. just cofirmed that dumb rockets fire just fine. I must be doing something daft.

 

DOH! you were absolutely right mate. I had a feeling it was somethig daft i was doing. Have been playing A-10's and F-15's too long, (he said sheepishly)

 

SORTED! now to rain down some death from above

 

[EDIT - can I take rep off myself? I really need a slap for forgetting the reticule thing :doh:]

I think it is not necessary at this moment, you had your slap :smilewink:

 

(Well, think about the real result 4:2 and you may feel better :smartass:)
