What smoke do you mean?

[RetroBurn]

he means smoke pods. It's an armament, I believe.

Yes, smoke pods, tried and no joy. Probably because of Beta. Waiting for this great Sabre to evolve...

Smoke pods seem a little buggy so far(as seen some unexpected results) but for the most part, work sort of like they do on the mustang.

 

1. Load Smoke on the pylons of choice (HVAR_Smoke_2)

2. Center console, down low is a red cover over a switch (tooltip - Rockets Release selection cover)

3. Flip the switch under it down to the AUTO position (this will fire through all stations while holding the weapon release button down)

4. On the left side of the cockpit, to the rear is the Rocket to be fired selector (this does not seem to be completely functional, reason why I suggest using AUTO), Seems to work the first time its set, but not subsequent times.

5. Press and hold the weapon release key, usually button 2 on the joystick. This will cycle through all pylons (provided the Rockets release switch is on AUTO), turning on the smoke. Press and hold again to cycle through them all to turn it off. Rinse repeat. If you do not hold it long enough, it may only fire some of the stations, can press again to get to the end of the list, counter goes to 16, should cycle through and stop back at 1.

 

So far, have only used 2 pylon smokes, but I don't see any reason why more would not work this way. 1 bug I have seen is that it only turns on 1 side, then that side cycles on/off with each press. I have not identified why this happens yet.

 

Good luck and have fun,

Thanks Shahdoh, got it to work, however the logic is either buggy or weird.

 

It might be better to somehow "wire" the smoke generators to the bomb release instead to the rockets to have a clear ON/OFF switch.
