Rockets

I can load both types of rockets on the Dora but for some reason I'm unable to fire either, Master arm is on, Rocket switch is on, reason release is button is programed and working range set to zero but rockets will not fire. Any Ideas? Thanks TC

I believe you have to use the bomb button. Works fine here.

when i tried i had no bombs. I have a warthog for a short time and i was surprised when i pusched the red buton on my stick to see that i fire rockets eitherr4m or werfgranaten.

You're not trying to mix and match the rockets are you?

For me, it's either bombs or rockets. They will not work together. And I use the bomb release button for the rockets.

I have always updated my DCSW files and I have no ability to ever choose rockets.

Is this something that can only be done offline ? Mission Editor ? I would appreciate

it very much if someone would give me a heads up on where I can find the rockets ?

Thank You !!!

They have to be added as a custom loadout in the mission editor.

How do you setup that automatic zoom in all the way? I either have to use trackir z axis for zoom or I use a slider on the hotas x that resets to value 50 always when I'm not using it.

I think they exploded slightly before the P-51, and you know how shrapnel works in DCS...

Sorry about being so late with this, I wanted to thank You Jack, I really like the

rockets !!! I noticed in the video where He opens the cowlings, I have never

done that.....have to learn how

cowling is radiator, just did it with left alt plus A so now I just need to know when to open it and when to close it please

Not sure if this has been mentioned already but you can definitely use bombs and rockets in one go (definitely works with SC50s and both R4m or Wgr21, haven't tested with other bomb types). Just drop your bombs and pull the Rumpflast notabwurf T handle (red left side under the front panel) and Wgr21 switch if applicable and you're good to go. Theoretically one could do it rockets first too but the Flügellast Notabwurf handle doesn't work in dcs so I dot think there's any way of doing it in the sim.

Thanks for sharing that. Good to be able to use both.

I was playing in 2.04 NTTR and noticed that the small rockets seem to have impact fuse now. Didn't measure in any way to prove it but I know they only went about a1/2 mile and exploded before and now it seemed like I was at least a mile away and seeing impacts on ground near targets. Also fired a few while level and didn't see them explode at all.

There's no need to touch it. It's automatic and keeps the water temperature at 100°C.

I have posted these here before. The R4M timed fuse development was wrapped up with this final report on 1.3.45. This report contains every single detail about it, including material of connecter, security membrane, primer and explosives used. http://www.deutscheluftwaffe.de/archiv/Dokumente/ABC/f/Flakraketen/R4M%20Orkan/Text/Zeitlinie/1945/Mearz/Mearz%201945.pdf

The main development/ testing effort was done in January and February 45. This document starting page 23 shows the main development process in January. http://www.deutscheluftwaffe.de/archiv/Dokumente/ABC/f/Flakraketen/R4M%20Orkan/Text/Zeitlinie/1945/Januar/Januar%201945.pdf

The R4Ms that were used in operational trials by FW 190s starting March 45 had this timed fuse incorporated. In the following document the time to self destruct is measured in respect to ambient temperature. (+18°C, -40°C, +50°C) http://www.deutscheluftwaffe.de/archiv/Dokumente/ABC/f/Flakraketen/R4M%20Orkan/Text/Zeitlinie/1945/Februar/Februar%201945.pdf

The R4Ms had a delayed impact fuze AZ R2 with VC70 delayed primer, similar in function to the delayed mine shell fuze of the Minengeschoss and a timed fuze in the connection section between explosive charge and rocket motor. If the DCS R4Ms do not have delayed impact and ~ 5-6 (mean = 5,67 sec) sec timed fuse mechanism, they are simply modeled incorrectly.

That's not how it worked IRL, or was it? Was the pilot IRL able to select the his weapon of choice (bomb/rocket) when he wanted or was he also forced to work around it like we need in DCS as you just explained? Well, I guess a mixed load of bombs and rockets was seldom (if ever?) used IRL, but how would it have worked?

The Rockets on the Dora currently more gameplay thing, there currently have nothing common with history. For the R4M the Dora is lacking the electrical Panel for Ignition, never seen any D9 with Wrf.Gr 21 under the Wings and after my understand you have to Arm also the ZSK (Zündschaltkasten) to close the connection with the 21 how to use Bombs and Wrf.Gr 21 ???:suspect:

I hope they're still working on that.
