Blackbird Sims / Milviz Forum Archive

I have downloaded and reinstalled the HUEY a couple of times. Anti virus disabled before download and installation, UAC disabled, installing as admin.
But I can not fire the weapons,I have put all the switches in the right position acc. to the video.
I use the trigger and the pickle button from TACPAC, or is there any other keyboard combination I shall use?
Love the HUEY anyway.

Some help would be good.

Do you have Tacpack installed?

Yes I have Tacpac installed.I tried it just now and it is alright in IRIS A10C and VRS Superbug.

Hi StureN
I have nearly the same problem but in my case only the Miniguns working and the fuel is always 0% when I load the aircraft.
I use tacpack on other aircraft (F100D,F4......) without problems. Don't know tried everything as you wrote above no change. Hope Milviz is working on a solution Greetings Texana

This is a problem we haven't seen before now. Let's try and figure out what's going wrong. First, the Tacpack trigger switch should work for both guns and rockets. The Pickle switch doesn't do anything.

To see if it's a trigger problem, let's try this. On the IFF panel we've used a switch to enable the brake button being a weapon trigger.



If the orange circled switch is moved to the up 'RAD TEST' position, you should be able to use your brakes button on the joystick to fire either rockets or guns. I do that all the time.

Now let's review the weapons control panel to be sure everything is truly set right.



The four important switches are circled and numbered.

Switch #1 enables the system. In the UP position, the weapons are armed, and the green light (#2) should come on. If it does, that means Tacpack is reporting itself present and ready. If it does not come on, either Tacpack isn't present or it isn't responding to commands.

Switch #3 selects which weapon the trigger will fire. Center - the default - selects rockets. Down selects the miniguns, and up selects a grenade launcher (which isn't installed on the Huey because Tacpack doesn't simulate such a weapon.) If this switch is up, nothing will shoot.

Switch #4 is the rocket pair selector. It determines how many rockets will be launched from each pod on each press of the trigger. Selecting 1 means two rockets will launch, 2 means 4, etc. Selecting zero means NO rockets will be launched. Double check this switch setting if your rockets aren't firing but your gun does.

Hope this helps,

I have tested the abowe advises.
The "RAD TEST" pos dont work.
The four switches on the ARMAMENT panel.
Switch 1 Up pos. Red light ARMED
Middle pos. Green light SAFE
Down pos. No light
Switch 3 Center pos.
Switch 4 1

I have tested all positions for switch 1 Nothing works, no rockets no gun ,but I still love the HUEY

Hallo Dutch,
I tried step by step as described.
When I select the RAD Test button Brakes working
The Green and Red light is working
Minigun is working I can destroy targets with the trigger and the brake button
Rockets not working, not with the trigger nor with the brake button.
I recognized on the F-100D if I load the aircraft on ground or in flight I only see half of the weapons and w & b is as well unbalanced. If I reload/refresh the weapon loadout everything is normal w & b and the loadout (visually) is correct and I can use all the weapons. Maybe this is similar on the Huy but I have no reload function yet. The Minigun work always.
Can I send any information to verify the problem?
Thx Andy
