How to ripple gs 6, and possible oap bug

I have seen a few threads where people were having trouble with OAP not working. I found it does work, but you have to have the OAP turned on at the ufcp in addition to having it set on the SMS CNTL page. Not sure if this is intended behavior or not.

How do you ripple IAMs gracefully? I have 4 gs 6 loaded with 4 different pp points as targets. There doesn't seem to be a way to select a station, set it's pp channel, go to the next and so on. Weapon select shifts not only the station, but the program itself. Anyone else get the hang of this?

It sounds like the button you're looking for is “Missile step” (S5, same as NWS). It cycles through stations for the currently selected weapon type, letting you set up each station individually within the same program.

So:

1. Select the appropriate program (or just change the weapon type for the current program).

2. Go into the CNTL page.

3. Set the current weapon to PP mode, select the correct Channel

4. Press Missile Step / NWS to select the next weapon of the same type

5. Repeat 3 and 4 until all are set up correctly.

6. Press PROG to go back to the SMS page.

Pickle them all off.

There’s a weapon select and a weapon change, S5 and S8. Let us know if that’s does what you needed

Thanks guys. NWS steering button on the HOTAS did the trick. I was using S5 and that changes both station and program, leading to a "rabbit hole" type situation.
