Reflected Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Quick question: how do I release the empty rocket pods once they've been used? I tried to switch on the rocket emergency release switch then press the release button as well as the jettison button, but it stayed attached to the wing. Thanks!

Sniper175 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I agree its a bug, but my dynamic campaign side of me wonders if the Luftwaffe:pilotfly: at this point in time instructed the pilots not to jettison the racks as war supplies where dwindling....?

JG13Wulf Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I think they told to not drop them if they could. But I think they prefered make 2 new rack than 1 new plane and 2 new rack ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reflected Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 OK, so it may be bugged, but what I did was correct? switch the emergency release on, then press the bomb release button on the stick? Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG13Wulf Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 + train new pilot in worst case. At this time of the war, sadly, the mission was (almost) the training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mar28 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Morning to all! As I can remember from a photo of a Squadron Signal book, the pod`s are fixed; not allowing you to release them in flight! Best regards!

rogonaut Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 has this been changed? couldnt figure it out but the ai jettisoned the rocket pods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExplosion Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 The AI just jettisons the pods without using the rockets. You can do this as well. So there is 2 bugs with the rocket pods imo: - AI not using rockets - Jettison not working after rocket has been fired Kein Anderer als ein Jäger spürt, Den Kampf und Sieg so konzentriert.

muehlema Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Thats not correct. The document below describes how the use was and how the release was. There was a emergency drop release too. https://www.deutscheluftwaffe.com/archiv/Dokumente/ABC/b/Bordwaffen/21%20cm%20Wurfgranate/21%20%20Wurfgranate%20BR%20Gereat.html So, in short - Bug X-Plane 11.5x / DCS 2.5.6 / P3Dv5 / Aerofly FS 2 / War Thunder Win10-x64 | ASUS Z390 Maximus VI | Intel i7-9700K @3.6GHz | Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB DDR4 | 6TB SSD Samsung 850 Pro | 2TB M2 PCI 4x | ASUS GTX 1080 ROG STRIX 8GB DDR5X | TM Hotas Warthog | Saitek Combat Pedals | Oculus Rift S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
