Auto-bombing with manual WP

[sgtpancake]

Hej

 

I´ve added an additional WP in flight, set the bombs to go Auto-mode. But it seems the Auto-mode does not pick up my manual WP and I am unable to drop my bombs. The HUD won´t display the lines, countdowns and stuff.

It works perfectly fine if I set the WP in the editor.

 

 

Am I doing something wrong here or is it supposed to be that way?

First of all make sure all of your bombs are set to auto, so that you did not select a bomb that was not in the auto mode ;-)

 

Next select your waypoint and press the button on the HSI that show you the diamon shaped waypoint in your hud. ( this is not required but a nice feature making it more easy to line up and find the target area )

Also check that the diamond and waypoint are at ground level .

 

Select the bomb, and AG mode, and master arm on.

 

Finaly press the sensor control switch FWD button on your joystic ( then button that in aa mode create a round small cirled in your hud ) and now you should get the automatic line that you are talking about.

( the key is ALTgr+ ; i think )

 

 

I hope this point you in the right direction..

Thanks for the quick answer!!

 

It was the "Weapon Designate" I missed out of. So stupid.

I didn´t get the diamond before, now I do and it works perfectly well :)
