F14 Wing Sweep bugged?
I've tried everything at this point. I've reset the master reset, put the wing sweep into auto, and regardless how many G's I'm under, or what speed I'm at, they stay fully swept out, and will not come back. I've tried putting it into manual and sweeping them back, the CADC just reverts to auto and doesn't let them change. Flaps lever is all the way forward, wing sweep lever is all the way up and pressed in, with the cage covering it. I just cannot get them to sweep back no matter what. Some searching has shown similar if not same issues dating back to 2019, so is it a bug that hasn't been resolved?

It should work, I am in the F-14 right now. You need to make sure that you press "Master Reset".

Yeas, as stated in the first line, second sentence of my post, I do press master reset. I noticed it works fine in the tutorials, but when doing my own mission it does not work. So clearly I'm doing something wrong in the startup, just not sure what.

You said you pressed the Master Caution, not the Master Reset.

You pressed "master caution reset" Not the "master reset". The small white button located on left vertical console. Check the picture, button number 8

I've pressed the master reset below the fuel dump switch, and to the right of the anti-skid switch.

Something just doesn't seem right because during start up, following the video below. When he sets up his wing sweep and closes the cage, the wings don't sweep out right away until he presses the reset, like it's supposed to work. But when I do EXACTLY that, push the wing sweep lever all the way forward, press it down (right click) and close the cage, my wings instantly spread out, WITHOUT even pressing the master reset switch.

Hop in an online server and see if it works like my video.

Does it only work when playing online? Why not single player mission?
