huchanronaa Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 this in the Chuck's Guides –manual said : If both right and left pylon switches are armed simultaneously, the guns will take precedence (meaning that the FIRE GUNS button will fire guns only) but I find Even if I switch close the right pylon, only switch open the left pylon, still only can fire the cannon gun . Can not launch rockets ,why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams999 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 If you can still fire the cannon, you haven't switched it off.

ams999 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Just to be clear: don't only close the red cover, this does not switch off the right pylon. Notice the green lights beneath the pylon switches - if both pylons are switched on only the right light is on in the L-version - if you close the right cover the right light still is on - only if you flip the right switch to off does the right light go out and the left one lights up. Then you can fire rockets.

SUNTSAG Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 It works just fine having tested it 5mins ago: 1. Master Arm On 2. Weapons panel power switch on 3. Lift left RED arming switch cover up. 4. Left pylon arming switch to on (under red cover). Cheers. Callsign: NAKED My YouTube Channel [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Can not launch rockets ,why? Although your question has already been answered, I'll add a explanatory picture to the thread. You need to turn off the gun (right) pylon as otherwise it takes priority, IIRC I use custom keybinds to make pylon selection easier. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3469195#post3469195 Edited June 18, 2019 by Ramsay i9 9900K @4.7GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huchanronaa Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Finally, can launch the rocket. You can't open two covers at the same time and then close one of them. Otherwise, you may not be able to launch the rocket. If you turn it on off one by one, it will be normal.

huchanronaa Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) I am currently learning how to enter the hover to launch a missile, which is a bit difficult.The success rate is not high But the other three helicopters of Dcs seem to be more complicated than the sa342, making operation more difficult.

swatstar98 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 On the right side, you have a rotatory, on the last position it will tell you your drift lateral and frontal, using this and your vertical speed indicator you can now try to hover when you have almost all on 0 Chinook lover - Rober - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xvii-Dietrich Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I am currently learning how to enter the hover to launch a missile, which is a bit difficult.The success rate is not high Going a bit off topic here... :-\ On the right side, you have a rotatory, on the last position it will tell you your drift lateral and frontal, using this and your vertical speed indicator you can now try to hover when you have almost all on 0 ^ This If you are having trouble finding it, it is this one... Set it "DOP" (Doppler) and then when approaching the hover, you are aiming to get it lined up on centre. There is a good video explaining it here: Another thing that I found helped me, was reducing the Y-saturation on the cyclic axes. I have a "desktop" joystick, and the SA342 defaults are set-up assuming a full-length cyclic. Take a look at this video: (that one video changed my opinion of DCS helicopters from hate-and-loathing to joyful-admiration). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
