Rockets won't fire, from pylon 2 + 8.

[CoBlue]

If rockets are loaded on pylon 2 + 8 , they won't fire. (DCS 1.5 + 2.0).

If loaded on 1,2 + 8,9 they will fire.

Do you have the correct selection on PCA ? (INT/ EXT)

[Galwran]

Do you have the correct selection on PCA ? (INT/ EXT)

 

And did you also carry bombs? Then the rockets won't fire

[Blitz05]

I have the same bug, basically if they are on the ext pylons i cannot select them in the PCA only if they are on int pylons

Did you click EXT button ?

[razo+r]

the last time i checked, the EXT wasn't there

[spiddx]

Just tested (1.5) and can confirm: rockets can't be used if only loaded on the external pylons (1 & 9).

 

If I select RK3 only INT appears (active by default, can't be deselected) instead of EXT, rockets don't fire.

Thanks, that's understandable :thumbup:

Only INT appears.

?? Always been able to fire rockets with bombs mounted, just tested in latest 2.0 update.

Then it's a bug. M-2000C doesn't have the capacity to handle multiple types of AG weapons at the same time. Confirmed multiple times by Zeus.

I need more specific on this problem:

 

If I load Magics + rockets, I can fire them without problem.

[razo+r]

Load Rockets on all pylons which you can load them

 

Then look on the Weapons panel (PCA?)

[myHelljumper]

For me it works perfectly in 1.5, 4 rockets pods, I can fire the EXTs, the INTs and both without problems.

 

[Blitz05]

load up bombs on inner wing pylon and rockets on outer then try to select rockets and fire them. EXT pylons only works if you have rockets on all 4 pylons

[myHelljumper]

That is normal, you can't mix AG payload, the PCA won't work as intended if you do so.

 

It's bombs or rockets or cluster bombs or guided bombs...

If it is as you say it is then that is dissapointing, I will miss the days of using snakeyes and rockets.

[myHelljumper]

It's like that IRL so, it's like that in the sim ;)

[Rlaxoxo]

It's like that IRL so, it's like that in the sim ;)

 

You're still able to fire then IRL but the computer won't be able to calculate the correct impact point

[myHelljumper]

Are you sure of that ? Do you have a source, I would like to know more about that :)

I've read that somewhere when I asked about this problem before hell if I can find it again : /

[myHelljumper]

No problems ;)

As other people have said, PCA functionality is compromised when loading mixed AG weapons. So, the rockets not firing when loaded with bombs is normal.

[razo+r]

So that this loadout isn't working is as it should be?

[myHelljumper]

As said above you can't mix AG munitions so it won't work.

 

It's bombs or rockets or cluster bombs or guided bombs...

Currently playing the Outremer campaign and wondered why there is only the INT option...
