Title: Need help with Selecting Bombs
Post by: Jack_Fireshard on October 04, 2014, 01:22:22 PM
Okay so I use a Simple Saitek ST290 Pro Flight stick/Throttle Combo and I am having issues on how to set up my Bomb Deployment For Fighter and Dive bomber Aircraft. Is there a Pre-set Key to release them? Do I have to Go into Bombsight mode? can I set a new Hotkey for there Drop?


If this is in the Wrong Section then just move it, I saw help so I thought this was the right section to set it up.

If you are trying to drop bombs from a fighter or attack plane, then you need to first select the secondary weapon using the "Weapon Secondary Select" command.  By default that is mapped to the <BACKSPACE> key.  Once they are selected (shown in the weapon select panel in the cockpit, where the bullet counts are shown), you use the "Fire Secondary Weapon" command to release them.
