Title: Salvo all bombs
Post by: tuton25 on April 21, 2013, 05:52:21 PM
When I fly the mossie 16, I wish I could drop all the bombs, not just the selected ones
so my wish is when I set salvo 6, I will drop 6, not just 4 or 2 depending on the area I have selected
this also should work for salvos like 3 or 5, with it preferancing the bombs that are selected...

Makes sense.  I think there could be/should be a function that allows for a gross command to drop ordnance.  Me think the A20, Mossi B Mk 16, Ju88, and any other bomber that has both wing and bomb bay mounted bombs available should be able to do this.

 p40 can salvo hAve a salvo of 3 with 500pounders. A jug cannot and it has the same number of pylons and setup  :headscratch:

When I would destroy hangers in a mossie 16 I would simply use the 4,000lb cookie, but now that it is an HC bomb, I have to take the 500lb bombs....

If your stick has programming features then you should just program the commands as a macro.  It would be nice if AH had in-game macros that would allow you to program more advanced commands into your stick profile.

I would wholeheartedly support that as well.  I love what I can do with the x52 programmer software.  I feel bad for people who can't do similar things.

When the Claim Jumpers would role missions I sometimes kill the dar and VH in one pass with the mossie 16....now with the 4000lbs cookie change that doesn't work.....I'm so mad  :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Kind of off topic, but I'm just getting around to learning the SST and looking for a couple of ideas on stick setup. Right now I have D (on the throttle) set to WEP, E (also throttle) set to Vox, the clutch set to range, clutch slider set to brakes, the HAT on the throttle to trim and the rear roller set to flaps. I have a few other things set up (i.e. landing gear, autopilot etc...), but I'm looking for some outside perspective.

To the OP:
It's easy with only that many bombs:
drop, drop, drop, drop, backspace, drop, drop. Could get it all done in less than a second with very little prep.
