Is there no longer a key command for Next AA Weapon?

[ASharpe]

I tired searching for this on the forums and couldn’t find anything. I see “Next AG Weapon” in the controls list, and I know that by pressing and holding something…uncage? I want to say? I can cycle the AA weapons, but I miss my next AA button.

Can I get it back?

I think you are looking for “SimMissileStep”. If you hold it, you switch between slammer and heater.

That’s the one, but it’s not the same as “Next AA Weapon”, and it’s slower, which in a dogfight, is life and death.

i think it has been removed because there is no such function in the real pit or has been moved to the MFD.
if you want to switch between profiles quickly use MRM/DGFT-Override (SimSelectMRMOverride/SimSelectSRMOverride).

Well, you usually need AIM-120s in dogfight mode only when the target tries to extend, so you’re then usually not threatened and can afford to lose 1 second to select the proper weapon.

It’s either missile step –> long press, or SMS page --> OSB 6.

I’m moderately confused by this - there is a next AG Weapon option but not a Next AA Weapon option?

NextAGWeapon is also not in the RL jet - it was put in the original F4.0 to ease up the learning curve and be intended to work with easy avionics and stuff, just like NextAA.

To change AG weapon in the RL pit, you have to use SMS page and OSBs.

look into the “BMS CALLBACK UPDATES” Page 2-15: The callback is still available but not integrated in the shipped keyfiles because its deprecated an will be removed in a future update.

also have a look at this post: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?23380-No-A-A-Weapon-cycle&p=337505&viewfull=1#post337505

The callback “SimNextAAWeapon” was added out of convenience in the first Falcon 4, for easy avionics users, but there is no such button on the jet. Similarly, no such thing as “SimNextAGWeapon” : to change AG weapons, you have to use the SMS page on the MFDs.

I would not be surprised if the “SimNextAGWeapon” will be removed as well in an upcomming patch.

UPDATE: Ups, I was a little bit late…

Nice to see someone using the search button for once

I don’t really appreciate this comment. I searched for “Next AA Weapon” on the forums and could find nothing - as I was instructed to use the in-game key-binding system wherever possible, and it does not show the callback names, so I had nothing else to search on.

Cool down Asharpe.
1. there is absolutely NOTHING insulting in Crus comment and indeed it is refreshing for us when someone actually use the search button
2. it wasn’t aimed at you but at gofrm who indeed used the search button, so no need for you to feel offended by it

So ppl as announced before there will be more and more RTFM and use the search button answer. Learn to deal with it. We are tired to repeat the same thing all over again.
This Asharpe is a general statement and not aimed at you either

Indeed ASharpe, I had no intention of pointing fingers at anybody - all I did was commenting on gofrm’s answer. We do see a lot of people asking the same question in new threads when said question has already been dealt with, so as RD said, gofrm’s post was refreshing.

If I wanted to be insulting, why would I give the correct answer in post 8 then ?

“SimNextAAWeapon” and “SimNextAGWeapon” both still work just fine…

But I didn’t know about long pressing missile step, you learn something new every day

I used “Search” to find out what “RTFM” meant as I couldn’t find it in any of the Docs.

Still not shore on IIRC, IMHO, AFAIK & WTFWT. Its a wireless world we live in.
