Can’t get the weapons to work.

Post by thunderstreak » Tue Apr 17, 2018 1:46 am

P3Dv4.2 with latest version of Tacpack installed.
Latest version of Huey installed (and reinstalled).
Trigger setup in TP.
Armament panel armed (red light), miniguns selected.
Nothing works....
I’m sure I missed something, had it working in FSX long ago.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Just tried the Corsair as well, no luck.

Do you have any other aircraft that use Tacpack? If so, do they work?

I was just thinking the same thing.
I have the JF Hawk, will try that tonight.

Cheers.

Disregard, I figured it out.
I tried the JF Hawk with the same result.
After browsing the VRS forums I discovered a few posts discussing mapping key presses through FSUIPC to the joystick “Trigger and Pickle” as opposed to the joystick buttons directly.
I have now happily expended a bunch of rounds in the desert from the Huey and Corsair!

Thanks for taking the time to respond and making such great sim aircraft, looking forward to the Skyraider!

Cheers, Bernard.
