Strite Tutorial 1, strike 3 second part where the F16 is doing the straffing. Followed the notes provided, the F16 does one pass then climbs back to 36000ft I have to reattack manually 4 more times. My take from the notes is I should be able to allocate per the notes and the F16 make 5 straffing passes and then RTB. Is there something I am missing to do in this mission?

Same question as Hzarr. Except in my case couldn't get the F16 to re-attack even with a manual attack order. All of the ammo was allocated to the target.

Hi,
The gun works poorly with the manual mode (shift F1) when you want to shoot more salvo, you can not shoot all the salvo of your gun. It is necessary to use the mode auto (F1) for that.
In manual mode when you select several salvo guns, the plane fires a salvo or two, goes up to 36000ft and then starts to turn in circles.
If you look in 'Weapons Allocation' (Shift F1) you will see a line "Fired: 1x20mmM61A1 Vulcan Burst [100rnd]." I think that normally, this line would appear at the moment of the firing and after impact it must disappear, which does not is not the case with the gun.This blocks the plane.
To unblock the situation it is necessary to return to auto (F1) and select the target, the plane will use all the ammunition of its gun until destruction of the target.
