Mich Mich Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Hi Gents, Was flying a bombing mission recently (CAS mission armed with 4 GBU-16, but no LTS pod, just AIM-7 and AIM-9 on both wing stations). Had the HUD set on A/G mod, with the "vertical cue" visible on the HUD. I'm also using the Virpil VFX stick on a TM Warthog base. Can anyone tell me how to actually release my bombs? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Make sure to tell Jester what type of air to ground munition you want. (Even if you only have one type.) Test that your bindings are correct. They should be, but just to confirm, go to key bindings, press the red button on your stick (not trigger), and it should jump to "stores release" or whatever it's called. If not, rectify.

Mich Mich Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Thanks a lot guys, will try asap! Btw, do any of you remember the name of that mission? From what I remember, it's not in the Caucasus map, since the mission is over a pretty much desertic area (there's also a KC135 near the sea front), with a bunch of high hills. Mission starts with a VF-11 bird if I recall, and we start with GBU16 x 4, AIM-9 x2 and AIM-7 x2 (+ a full load of 20mm) Edited March 29, 2020 by Mich Mich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Watching the Devildog for PG map? Available both as full mission and Instant action. One of the best SP stuff I played.

Mich Mich Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Yup, pretty sure that's that one, Cas mission! Decides to try straffing (without success) since I wasn't capable to effectively release any of my bombs... Do the guys on the ground lase for me?

Mich Mich Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Oh ok! So how does it work? Just have to tell Jester to select 1 GBU-16, and drop the thing, or is there a specific procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Yup, pretty much drop it like dumb bomb and it will follow the laser designation. Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX3060 Rift S T16000M TWCS TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mich Mich Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Tried last night. Took off, then arrived over the first team (with the burning tank wreck). Been in a left orbit for a while, but nothing happened, surprisingly, where I straffed the other day... Maybe a bug? I've veen hit further north, and lost my radar and steering, so I decided to RTB, and crashed on the deck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mich Mich Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Finally got it. But I have trouble to release those damn bombs... HUD is set on AG Jumped in the back seat and selected GBU-16 Told Jester to select Stations 3-6 Hit the ordnance release knob, nothing happens Played with the attk mode knob several times, bomb go well in manual, but not in the other modes Is there something I forgot to do?

draconus Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Master Arm? Do you have ORD on the HUD? You don't need to do anything in Jester's seat. You just need him to select bombs. That's all.

Mich Mich Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Yup, Master Arm is the red and white cover with a white 3-positions button, right?(right hand side of the console) As dor going on the back seat, I automatically go when I select the option on Jester mwnu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Right, has to be on (top position). 1 and 2 keys change between seats. To select Jester menu item use Ctrl+item_number keybind.

Mich Mich Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Ok, restarted the mission just today. Successfully bombed 4 out of the 4 targets, and shot down the 2 choppers (loaded 2 AIM-54Cs instead of the AIM-7s). Problem, ran out of fuel ust after having dropped the last bomb (on the T-55). Tried to land engineless, successfully touched down... Just to hit an house near the road... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Well, I'd call it success for now ;) Stay on orbit at FL250 whenever you can and easier on the throttle next time :thumbup: Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX3060 Rift S T16000M TWCS TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mich Mich Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Lol yup Also still have to try AAR, still unsuccessful on this, either too fast, too slow or airplane being all over but on the right place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mich Mich Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Yup, saw this one numerous times... But always struggle with that damned KC135, since it's not regular, neither on speed nor altitude... I only managed to get to pre-contact once... In around 60 tries... Got to successfully trim my speed on the tanker's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 The easiest start into AAR is KC-130, wings in bomb mode. Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX3060 Rift S T16000M TWCS TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mich Mich Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 In the missions tanker is, unfortunately, always a 135... But the Devildog mission is definitely a cool one! Will try to ease on the throttles (pilot is damn stupid when you're in the backseat btw, he crashed more than once! Went directly to the ground instead of getting higher after cat shot (went in the backseat about 30sec, once gears and flaps are up), to prepare the bombs so I don't have to mess with them during the mission) and when in CAS(was dealing with bombing setting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Why you hate Jester so much? Do you prefer to RIO everything yourself? Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX3060 Rift S T16000M TWCS TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mich Mich Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Nope. Problem, in my case, comes when I ask him the weapon selection through the wheel. When I do this, I automatically land in the RIO seat. He can select the stations I ask for, but I just land in the RIO seat, dunno why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
