Shadylurker Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I was just puttering around in the shooting range mission and decided to mess with the datalink and practice using the ingress button to slew my shkval (?) to the target, that was working great. The problem came with using the weapons, no matter what I did NOTHING would fire, not even the cannon. Master arm on, training mode off, laser on, ect. I checked and re checked everything, reset everything, nothing. The hud cues for each weapon came on, but nothing would fire. I also noticed something odd with my turn to tgt button, it never lit up even though the ka50 responded to the button press. then to my realization, none of the buttons lit up around it. Either A. I was stuck in some awkard bug B. I don't know what I'm doing C. All of the above...
PeterP Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) sorry ... can't tell what was happening. ...well, I could start know to write two pages what "might" could happened... but I don't do it ! :) we will sure just end up like this: :) Further: you must have missed one of the unwritten forum rules... If there is no Track = It never happened ! :) So, do you have a track that you can load up? Edited July 25, 2012 by PeterP
slug88 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I'm guessing you didn't turn on the Weapons Control System on the right panel. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ShuRugal Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 if WCS power is not on, HUD indicators don't appear. this sounds like another attack of the alt-tab bug.
Smokin Hole Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 if WCS power is not on, HUD indicators don't appear. this sounds like another attack of the alt-tab bug. Really? I remember having the exact same problem when BS2 came out. With BS1 the weapons control switch (black guarded swith on right wall) didn't seem to do anything so I never bothered turning it on. After BS2, everything functioned with the switch off except weapons release. That's how I recall it anyway.
