[Aif 1917]

Alright 1st issue pre flight fire the primary weapon test r Trigger on my logitech f710 doesn't respond so I bind keyboard space and it work pre flight completed. Solved
so immediately I fire weapon upon leave r trigger works now. But then I get into a furball deploy my weapons but no weapons they re all setup properly in the RH menu but not working and there not in the hud. theyre just not deploying.

Enough Energy? Look on the right panel side.

 

[Salami]

You need to assign power to weapons.

Oh, wait, you say they are not in HUD and not deploying? I need to read more...

As the previous poster said, you need to assign the weapons to a fire group using the right hand panel. When you bought the weapons you will have got a large UI popup message telling you to do that

The weapons a ship comes with are assigned to a fire group, but ones you buy are not. Which is why you get the alert popup when you buy a new weapon.

Im using the newbie sidewinder as I'm only a couple of hours into game

Question: do you have excess power, or are you "in the red"?
Also, your Deploy/Retract button works fine?

What I do not understand is why these do not show in your HUD...
To me that would either mean they are not set active in your system tab, or not grouped...?

Please do me a favor: hit "4" and head into the Modules tab.
Are the weapons there, and, are they "black" (the square I mean)?

 

[Aif 1917]

Whats the system tab? Is it the right hand cockpit menu?

 

[Salami]

Just press 4... then the second tab of the Status Window.
They should be Amber coloured, if black, they are inactive.

 

[Aif 1917]

Alright I'll give that a try thanks

 

[Salami]

This one... 2nd tab be Modules.
Odd, I keep getting a different picture, let me look up the right one.

As you see, you have Status, then Modules, and then Fire Groups.
Check both please?

I thought 4 was the standard button, you have remapped them?

Go into Options - controls, and check what button you have for SYSTEMS PANEL under MODE SWITCHES?
That's the key you need.

 

[Aif 1917]

Okay I'm using Elite dangerious Horizons so that system panel is totally different. There are five tabs in that menu and it opens with 3 as 4 is the chat menu. So anyone playing horizons would know the issue.

 

[Salami]

ah, this I was not aware of, my bad.

Hope you find the answer, brother.

 

[Aif 1917]

Welcome to Elite Aif 1917.

I see your weapons were out and are just being retracted in picture three. Does this mean you have worked out how your weapons work now?

 

[Munsterbuster]

As I read on, I asked myself what happens if you want so shoot near surface but you don't have enough energy and set no priority. Crash landing if you don't react fast enough?
