F14 Tomcat wing sweep won't work
Start hot online, push sweep forward, press it down, close cover, (is set to auto), take off, wings don't automatically sweep back, try to manually move the sweep lever, wont work.

Read something about a master reset, but I've tried it about 3000 times, and couldn't get it to work. Must be something im not seeing, so would appreciate some help!

And one more thing, when I set it to manual mode I can't sweep them forwards or backwards and it just sets it to Auto mode again. Same with bomb mode.

Wings full extend then press the "Master Reset" button. Small white round button in front of the wing lever. #8 in the picture:

Also make sure that flaps are up.

The correct procedure is:
1) push sweep full forward
2) press it down the lever
3) close cover
4) Push Master reset button (right panel, just above the top of the lever slider).

Yeah I do that right, then I take off and attempt to push the wings back in manual mode, which works bank and hit a couple of Gs next thing you know they wings go back to auto and stay in auto with wings forward not responding to any key I press or even in emergency mode

Suprised you found this thread lol.

This worked for me:

!) push sweep forward
2) press the lever down
3) push the master reset
4) put into auto and take off
5) switch to manual and play as you see fit

do not close the cover! Thats what ♥♥♥♥♥♥ me up
