How to only use the center smoke pod in the L-39

[piXel496]

I can engage the wing smokepods and the center smokepod as a third smokepod . When I only load the center smokepod. With which buttons must I fiddle to engage it?

 

thanks,

Just press the weapons release trigger twice.

[piXel496]

Thanks SilentGun. But unfortunatelystill no succes.

 

I loaded the center smoke pod on the Albatros. Activated the arm switch (panel in front of joystick). Unlocked trigger and fired double single but no smokes, what am I missing? And is there a way to see it is armed.

I've had a tremendous amount of problems activating the smoke pods.

 

Even times when I have all 3 and I have the configuration correctly, sometimes you have to just pull the trigger 10+ times in a row to get them to finally activate.

 

I have never once been able to activate a single center pod regardless of configuration or trigger pulls

[golani79]

Just tried out a single center smoke pod and couln´t get it to activate either.

You have to press LCtrl + W two times before pressing the trigger twice.

Emergency jettison? Of course why did I not think about that... :doh:

 

It worked thx!

Is this a bug?

Even this seems to only work some times.. I'd guess there's some bug, I'm sometimes trying really hard to get it working and nothing happens but sometimes I just hit weapon release and it's on. I don't really know what's going on there.

[groovy]

For me I tried this and sometimes work...not always

 

Safety off

emergency jettison arm

emergency jettison * 2

trigger * 2

[VTB_Bingo]

Arm it and then Safety off and press the smoke button.

You can show the photo where is the switch

Thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!

[VTB_Bingo]

Thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!

 

No problem. Glad to help :)

[codefox]

I tried doing so exactly like you illustrated here and yet no success. All of a sudden, it sometimes works, without me clicking anything prior. Then, a few seconds later, I can't even disable the smoke pod anymore.

 

Seems like there are a few bugs around there or I'm an idiot. Some times it works right away, some times it doesn't work at all.

I can't get the center smoke pod get to work either

I don't even see it :huh:, though it is listed during briefing

[GeorgeLKMT]

There's nothing to see as there's no center pod per se... the smoke will come right out of the exhaust. If it's selected and listed, it's installed.

 

Are you guys trying this in MP or SP? For me, the SP works every single time. No double tapping or messing with anything. Arm, safety off, trigger, done.

[mig29movt]

I'm in SP and it just won't work for me...

I think I'm missing something

[piXel496]

It is not a joke. As mentioned before, it works if you use Emergency jettison (switch with red safety cover) and jazz with the switches in MP. I have not tried in SP.

 

And the center smoke comes from the exhaust outlet , there is no pod in external view as GeorgeLKMT said. (illustration and nice to watch.)

that it works using emergency jettison probably is a bug.

After switching both, the green and red jettison buttons it worked for the first time (just minutes ago),

then I tired it again and it didn't!

There is definitely something fishy about this smoke

[gospadin]

Yup. Smoke behavior (both wing and center) is erratic for me too.

[mig29movt]

v. 1.5.1 still doesn't works...

(anyone making the Breitling Jet Team livery?) :music_whistling:

I think there's a minimum speed limit for deploying weapons that also applies to the smoke dispenser.

When "ARMS" C/Bs are in ON position and when the speed is above 310 ± 15 km/h the "STAND ALERT" advisory light on the fwd cockpit lower armament indication panel and on the aft cockpit left armament indication panel comes on.

[gospadin]

I think there's a minimum speed limit for deploying weapons that also applies to the smoke dispenser.

 

There is, however, even above the minimum speed (with the light engaged) it's flaky.

 

Also, if you drop below 300 km/h, you can no longer turn off your smoke. =P

[mig29movt]

It could be, that I misinterpreted the position of the stick's safety switch...

It is ARMED in the position showed in VBDJT_Vipers post

 

ooor I could blame ED: they fixed it now in v. 1.5.1.47025 :music_whistling:

 

Anyway this is solved and to me it works as intended now :doh:
