Rammit Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Sorry for serious noob here, When following the start up procedure fully, the DSMS registers my stores but when I select them no symbology appears on the HUD, also the GUN PAC isn't functional but the weapon does fire. Any help here? :helpsmilie: "If the MWS didn't see it, it didn't happen"
MaceUK Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Do you have the gun PAC switch set to on (up)?

FreeFall Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Best way to select a weapon is: HUD to SOI, then DMS Left or Right to select profile, MMCB to select Master Mode. GUN PAC needs these enabled: SAS, EGI. Also EAC and GUN/PAC ARM, IFFCC not in OFF position. And remember that using speedbrakes disables PAC. Also, you should be properly trimmed before attack.
Irregular programming Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Are you using an old tutorial/manual? You need to set the nav mode to EGI on the front panel and the EAC switch has to be up.
FreeFall Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 I have TM HOTAS Warthog joystick. It comes with the needed two triggers stages. Stage 1 activates PAC system, and stage 2 fires the gun. I don't know which joystick model you have, but I think you should assign these trigger stages somehow to get the best result.

AFAIK in regards to speedbrakes it doesnt "Disable" PAC. It's just unless you trim for the upward force that the speedbrakes will generate (Pitch you up), will give the pac less authority and sometimes be too much for the PAC to deal with.

You don't need a two stage trigger to activate PAC, it will activate on fireing anyhow. It does mean that you can activate it without fireing which can sometimes be nice.
Bahger Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 This is interesting to me, as I had noticed that my GUN PAC deployment was possibly not working as it once did before I took a long break from the sim. Apart from the pretty apparent ground stabilisation on the target when PAC is enabled, is there any other way to verify that it is enabled and working?

Rammit Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 Thanks to all for replying, the PAC is in the UP position but the EGI wasn't on :doh: "If the MWS didn't see it, it didn't happen"
