2alpha-down0 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 - Select stations 2, 3, 5, 6: Bombs release normally, outer stations first, with no delay between button press and first weapon release. - Select stations 2 and 6: Same as above, no delay between button press and first weapon release. - Select stations 3 and 5: Bombs release with a very perceptible delay between button press and weapon release, as if waiting for the outer pylons to release first regardless of the fact that they are not selected. This can result in reduced accuracy if not accounted for. This occurs regardless of ripple interval. Is this accurate to the real aircraft, or is it a bug?f5 bomb.trk 1 Early Cold War Servers https://discord.gg/VGC7JxJWDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch75 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I have a sneaking suspicion that the Ripple circuit timer is only intended for the centre pylon when fitted with a Multiple Ejector Rack, ie, ripple off 5 snake-eyes at low level with one button press and hold. All other pylons will be according to the station switches being on or off and rotary set to Bomb. It is best to drop symmetrically, as the small wing of the F-5 is not suited to assymetric loads.

Cheers! Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk I don't think that's the case. The Weapon Delivery Manual for the F-5 mentions no such intent, and specifically says that all stations may be used with the ripple function. There are also bombing charts for different ripple quantities (2, 3 and 5 bombs). Early Cold War Servers https://discord.gg/VGC7JxJWDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streakeagle Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 The writeup you circled makes it clear: the real system doesn't pause for unselected stations or empty positions. The circuit is supposed to fire in sequence starting with the first filled position on the first selected station with the selected interval between each available weapon. So, call it a bug that a modern, digital simulation isn't as advanced as a 1970's firing circuit, which clearly knew how to drop the selected weapons at the specified interval, skipping unselected stations and empty positions.

2alpha-down0 Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 Looking into it further, if stations 3 and 5 are released before 2 and 6, there is no delay in release for either set of stations. With unlimited munitions, once the stations repopulate, the delay on 3/5 occurs regardless of release order.

RustBelt Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Why? They gave up on the F-5 almost 2 years ago. It really has to be treated as a completed project at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi 2alpha-down0 I will ask the team, not sure if this is intended behaviour or not. Why? They gave up on the F-5 almost 2 years ago. It really has to be treated as a completed project at this point. Rustbelt, I know you think the worst of us sometimes, but we do look at issues and report them to the team, yes the F-5E is an older module and our focus is currently else where but that does not mean we give up. thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?
