piXel496 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I can engage the wing smokepods and the center smokepod as a third smokepod . When I only load the center smokepod. With which buttons must I fiddle to engage it? thanks, . old stuff I made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentGun Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Just press the weapons release trigger twice. Link to my Imgur screenshots and motto http://imgur.com/a/Gt7dF One day in DCS...

piXel496 Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Thanks SilentGun. But unfortunatelystill no succes. I loaded the center smoke pod on the Albatros. Activated the arm switch (panel in front of joystick). Unlocked trigger and fired double single but no smokes, what am I missing? And is there a way to see it is armed. . old stuff I made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawlcat Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I've had a tremendous amount of problems activating the smoke pods. Even times when I have all 3 and I have the configuration correctly, sometimes you have to just pull the trigger 10+ times in a row to get them to finally activate. I have never once been able to activate a single center pod regardless of configuration or trigger pulls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelevra9987 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 You have to press LCtrl + W two times before pressing the trigger twice.

Of course why did I not think about that... :doh: It worked thx! . Edited October 7, 2015 by piXel496 Is this a bug? old stuff I made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codefox Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Emergency jettison? Of course why did I not think about that... :doh: It worked thx! . Even this seems to only work some times.. I'd guess there's some bug, I'm sometimes trying really hard to get it working and nothing happens but sometimes I just hit weapon release and it's on. I don't really know what's going on there.

codefox Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) I tried doing so exactly like you illustrated here and yet no success. All of a sudden, it sometimes works, without me clicking anything prior. Then, a few seconds later, I can't even disable the smoke pod anymore. Seems like there are a few bugs around there or I'm an idiot. Some times it works right away, some times it doesn't work at all.

GeorgeLKMT Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) There's nothing to see as there's no center pod per se... the smoke will come right out of the exhaust. If it's selected and listed, it's installed. Are you guys trying this in MP or SP? For me, the SP works every single time. No double tapping or messing with anything. Arm, safety off, trigger, done.

piXel496 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) It is not a joke. As mentioned before, it works if you use Emergency jettison (switch with red safety cover) and jazz with the switches in MP. I have not tried in SP. And the center smoke comes from the exhaust outlet , there is no pod in external view as GeorgeLKMT said. (illustration and nice to watch.) . Edited November 4, 2015 by piXel496 that it works using emergency jettison probably is a bug. old stuff I made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After switching both, the green and red jettison buttons it worked for the first time (just minutes ago), then I tired it again and it didn't!

gospadin Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Yup. Smoke behavior (both wing and center) is erratic for me too.

Ramsay Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think there's a minimum speed limit for deploying weapons that also applies to the smoke dispenser. When "ARMS" C/Bs are in ON position and when the speed is above 310 ± 15 km/h the "STAND ALERT" advisory light on the fwd cockpit lower armament indication panel and on the aft cockpit left armament indication panel comes on. i9 9900K @4.7GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gospadin Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think there's a minimum speed limit for deploying weapons that also applies to the smoke dispenser. There is, however, even above the minimum speed (with the light engaged) it's flaky. Also, if you drop below 300 km/h, you can no longer turn off your smoke. =P My liveries, mods, and missions for DCS:World M-2000C English Cockpit | Extra Beacons Mod | Nav Kneeboard | Community A-4E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mig29movt Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 It could be, that I misinterpreted the position of the stick's safety switch... It is ARMED in the position showed in VBDJT_Vipers post ooor I could blame ED: they fixed it now in v. 1.5.1.47025 :music_whistling: Anyway this is solved and to me it works as intended now :doh: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Waiting to build a F/A-18C home-pit... ex - Swiss Air Force Pilatus PC-21 Ground Crew SFM?
