Title: drop tanks not dropping
Post by: mtndog on September 11, 2006, 02:27:23 PM

Hello All
 Played for the first time in quite a few months and seems i lost some stick settings. got most reset but cant seem to get my drop tanks to drop. i can cycle through the tanks but when i hit secondary fire to release nothing happens. i'm sure it's something simple i havent found yet but any help to where to look would be appreciated. P-51 for example, i cycle to ext then press secondary fire and the tanks still show. What am i missing?mapping or config?
 thanks for any help!

Do your secondary weapons fire?

Firing "all guns" no longer drops ord or DTs if they are secondary. It only fires guns.

Krusty nailed it. With version 2.08 they reworked the stick setup and interface.

To drop ordenance, you now need to have the button mapped as "Fire Secondary". "Fire all guns" only fires the MG/cannon, but doesnt drop bombs.
