MULT switch not working

MULT switch is ignored when used for bomb quantity selection.

Switch was working normally in 2.5.3.23225, it stopped working when I used it the same way in 2.5.3.24984, today I tried 2.5.4.25729 BETA, MULT is still not working :joystick:

Configuration on next screenshot, expected to drop 4 bombs (2x2):

Only dropped 2:

I tried to drop 8 bombs: QTY:2, MULT:4, only dropped 2

I tried to drop 8 bombs: QTY:4, MULT:2, only dropped 4

I can upload screenshots of these drops as well if needed.

Same with GBU bombs, not sure about rockets I can give it a try later.

(I need to add that I have Harrier for about 1,5 month now and I am enjoying it very much. Thanks to RAZBAM and I hope the module will succesfully get rid of these small bugs, otherwise it is very rewarding thing to fly.) :D :thumbup:

EDIT: NOT A BUG, I WAS UNAWARE OF THE NEW (CORRECTED) BEHAVIOR AFTER UPDATE. THANKS FOR INFO!

It doesn't work like that. Have a look at this thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=228898 .

TLDR, QTY sets the ...quantity what it drops. MULT is not multiplier, but MULTiple.

Mentally replace MULT with the word "groups."

QTY 2, MULT 4 "Drop 2 bombs in groups of 4."

QTY 4, MULT 2 "Drop 4 bombs in groups of 2."

Extra credit to guess what happens in QTY 7, MULT 3.

I have read the thread and now I think I understand.

But does it make any sence to have QTY 2, MULT 4? How can you "Drop 2 bombs in groups of 4." ? :D Logically MULT should be equal or lower than QTY, shouldn t it?

QTY 7, MULT 3 is then 3-3-1

ANYWAY, I ll give it all a try so I can get used to it. Thank you! What now with this thread?Maybe moderator would like to move it or rename it or delete it?

Yes, with QTY 2, you should not be able to select MULT 4

From the AV-8 Tactical Manual Vol 1 :

1.14.5.4.4 Multiple Control.

 

The multiple control is also a three-position switch. The control selects the number of stations from which weapons will be simultaneously released in the sequence. The window above the control displays the selected multiple.

 

The multiple cannot be set to a number greater than the number of stations carrying the selected weapon or the quantity value, whichever is less.

There was an update to the switches animation, but it looks like with the animation all springloaded switches stopped working. We are reversing the change for those switches.

The Pocket Guide needs to be updated accordingly!
