[dodiano]

Hi! I am trying to assign firing function to my Joystick... I can get guns... Change Weapons BUT I CANNOT FIRE A DAMN MISSILE even if It is Locked... Why?? Have seen al tutorials pressed teh spacebar and nothing... ANy help apreciated! Is there a Switch for arming the weapons that I am not pressing? How can I press switches in the Virtual Cockpit?

The mapping you want is Weapons Release, usually mapped to a button on the stick.

I do not find any WEAPONS RELEASE mapping key I only Find WEAPONS CHANGE and WEAPONS FIRE as well as WEAPONS JETTISON?? Any other ideas? Thanks for the help!!

Then its weapons fire... you need to press and hold the trigger/pickle button for a second till missile is off

Wait, which software is this for again? DCS A-10? DCS BS? LoMac?

It is for Lock On Platinum/ Flaming Cliffs 2

It works differently for Russian and American aircraft (I'm talking ground attack aircraft here).

 

With A-10A for example the trigger always fires the gun no matter which weapon is selected. If you want to drop bombs, shoot the Mav or whatever then you use the weapon release button aka "pickle" which is different from the trigger. Also remember that for missiles you have to press the button for about one second before the missile goes off.

 

For Russian it's more simple. The trigger does both guns and pickle depending on the weapon selected. One second missile launch delay affects Russian aircraft too.

What's this doing in home cockpits though??

Thanks for the Help... Feel dumb about it but we are really happy now to continue trying to build that SU-27
