Opening Bomb Bay Doors = Falling Bombs
« on: April 18, 2018, 06:08:36 PM »
Thanks for the patch guys

I heard of a problem from 2 guys in the last few days.  Don't know if it's a bug or not. 

Guys experiencing problem:
Yaks
Kenai77

Problem:
In lancasters, when they open their bomb bay doors, bombs start falling.

I don't know of other bombers though.  I believe yaks had it happen in TU2s also.

Slipknt is correct, I have had it happen in Lancaster's and TU2's. If the bomb bay doors are open and I press F6 to get in the bombardier position, the preset salvo bombs are dropped. Then when I press the release for the first drop nothing happens, any subsequent drop works fine, until I close the bomb bay door and re-open it again, then it starts all over.

Found my problem, with auto Mode assignments, the button F6 was also tied to a Throttle button, this button was defaulted to secondary weapon fire.
