problems with weapons

[MIKE_DAN]

Hello. I`m having some difficulties with targeting and navigation system i think.

If i start on the runway and loaded with munition, the yellow weapon presence indicator is lit and i can select and fire whatever weapon.

But if i start on ramp, i just can`t seem to get that indicator to work. So i`m guessing i`m missing something doing the startup. I looked at the video showing the procedures to start up and i`m doing all the thing right. In the video, i see thet the weapon presence indicator work imediatly after the targeting and navigation is turned on, but when i try this it just dowen`t work.

Should i try a reinstall or am i really missing something during start-up?

Did you remember the Weapon Control System on the right panel? Please submit a track so that we can have a look at what you're doing and better help you.

That`s it, i was forgetting about the right panel. I`ll give that a try. Thank`s for the quick reply !

Just lucky I caught it when I was getting up for work (also lucky that someone asked something I knew, as I'm far from the most knowledgeable around these parts)

The weapon status switch just to the rear of the ejection circuit arm (red zebra) flipper to the right panel. It is covered by a lid, flick it open and switch it on. That should do the trick.

 

If you are not sure, go to flight manual page 150 (or 6-76) and note the CY0 switch next to number 6 label (to its right). That is the switch to turn on both the yellow lights and the targeting system lights (auto turn, AA, GND MVG, HEMISPHERE)
