How do shoot guns not working
-
Thanks for your reply! I have another button (big red one) on my stick (VKB gunfighter MCG) mapped as weapon release. This will usually fire a sidewinder in dogfight mode. However, it doesn’t neccesarily mean that the gun will fire in this mode. Is it possible that I am messing something up during the ramp start?

@Thombalabomba
Do you have only “weapon release” mapped to your stick?
You need to map “second trigger detent” if you want to shoot your gun!cheers

…?? Who downvoted the guy above for asking a question…??
WHEN did we become so toxic…?
With VR, BMS is trying to attract a wider audience.
We are already niche and aging.New guy comes and asks a question and gets downvoted…!?
WTF…? I am regularly downvoted for my sense of humour. WHATEVER.
But, do NOT - as we attempt to reinvigorate an old community - downvote an innocent poster for asking an innocent question
Disgusting act. Make the downvotes PUBLIC, so we can SEE who is who.

Niche and aging… Yeah, I wonder when I turn 60 in 15 years will there still be people flying this thing. Cause right now I don’t see me enjoying this great work the devs are doing here. I’ve been using this sim for like 20 hours in the last 10 years (life, kids, wife, also financial torrents not Falcon friendly), prior to that I’ve had almost 1000 flight hours per year since 2002.
I do thoroughly enjoy being around here though and drooling every time a new release is out. Also trying to keep my share of BMS torrents online all the time.And this, do not downvote a real question!!! C’mon!
As for the topic, the only thing I can see is the 2nd detent switch is not mapped.

Actually - that was a physical description of myself.

I don’t know of anything special in BMS ramp-start process, to do with the cannon.
But simplify … start in the air (eg. Instant Action … or Tactical Engagement, TR#3).
Just switch Master Arm to ARM and hit ‘D’ for dogfight. What does your screen look like? Here’s what you should see… gun is hot, in this screenshot.
-
A/A GUNS
Master arm - arm
Dogfight over ride OR guns selected in A/A mode (from the SMS MFD page)
Second trigger detent will fire guns (or equivalent keyboard call back)A/G GUNS
Master arm - arm
A/G mode
Guns selected through SMS MFD
Second trigger detent will fire guns (or equivalent keyboard call back)If that’s not working, possibly a mistake in your second trigger detent binding to your stick? Maybe check it’s not inadvertently setting first trigger detent as your second when you pull through the first stage on your two stage trigger.
Also, if you need to enter DF override from MRM override make sure you cancel MRM override before entering DF override, unless you’re using a 3 position switch and/or auto cancel. If you don’t cancel it it will behave strangely as the jet is supposed to pass through “cancel” between modes
Cheers!

@lew0984 And don’t forget you can also go to gun IN AG MODE by a long press on the dogfight switch.
-
@danster and that’s what I’ve learned today. Literally never finished with this sim. Thank you!
-
@Tiger423 …what?, me thinks your translator needs an update.
-
@danster How does one do a “long press” on a latching 3 position switch? Its either in DF - OFF or MSL override. Can you explain further?
