How do I use the smoke pod?

For the L-39C the smoke system is tied into the weapons system.

 

So

 


  • Arms switch ON
  • Air speed above 315 km/h - yellow STAND ALERT lamp lights showing power available to weapons system.
  • Stick 'Trigger Safety' switch - DOWN
  • Pull Trigger to start smoke
  • 2nd Trigger Pull stops smoke/cycles smoke dispensers
  • NOTE - If below 315 km/h - yellow STAND ALERT lamp is off, the weapons system has no power and you can't turn off the smoke i.e. after landing.

How to use smoke when my plane carries other weapons?

I am always using l39za.When i carried other weapons,i tried to arm the smoke pod into the engine.I pressed the Trigger,other weapons might be launched.

Broken? Does not work for me. The pod smokes don`t work as the center smoke doesn`t. :cry:

 

I used exactly your order of steps. I tried strg +w twice also. No matter what I try: No smoke.

I want to use only center smoker - but for testing I picked pods and center to red.

 

Thanks for any hint in advance, Nik

The switch for the inner or /and outer station activated?

 

Tried that. But for testing I got 3 red smoke devices, so it should not matter?`

It's working in 2.5.0.14304, here are pictures for the L-39C (Note: I mixed up my engine panel pictures - the AOA–HTR switch is only on the ZA)

and L-39ZA

If it still isn't working for you, post a track or video and I'll try to see whats up.

I'll add a picture for the L-39 ZA shortly, IIRC the only real addition was powering up the pylons

 

Thank you for that image. I guess I messed some buttons up. When I used the mouse to click exactly (mostly, since I`m using the version without HUD) the same switches, smoke from the pods worked.

But the goal is, to use only center smoke (Weight reduction for aerobatics). When having only the center smoke, I can`t manage to turn it on.

Thanks, I tested further and adding a single smoke pod only works via the mission editor.

If I ramp start a clean L-39C and ask the Ground Crew to load a center smoke pod (before engine start), they respond in the affirmative and confirm completion but it doesn't work.

 

I don't recall if the wing smoke pods are the same.
