Can't fire KAB-500kr from SU-25T

I've googled this issue before posting.

 

I can't fire the KAB-500kr using my assigned joystick button. I first encountered this problem in the training mission but I solved it by changing the keyboard key assignment from space bar to the "Y" key.

 

Then I tried it in a mission that I made in the editor but this time when I approached the tanks with a lock on, the LA symbol flashes for a couple of seconds before disappearing. I've tried "Y" key, my trigger on the joystick (it's the assigned button on the joystick) and changing the keyboard assigned key back to Space Bar. I hold them down but the KAB-500kr doesn't launch.

 

I'm using the English cockpit mod v1.3 for the SU-25T.

Are you above the min altitude? if i can remember must be 1000m agl

Soo, Im guessing that you already know this, but it might be a language thing, but the KAB-500kr is a bomb so its not going to launch like a missile. Use it like any other bomb and it should work *best used in CCRP mode*

I'm not sure. I'll give it another try and note my altitude.

Yes HOKUM52 you were right. I was trying to release the KAB-500kr below 1000m. I tried it just now above 1000m and there's no problem. Thanks! :)

Infranahmed1979,

 

If you think you are in a situation where you need to release it below the minimum safe altitude (1000m) you can also use the launch override key to drop it below 1000m AGL. Probability of hit could be severely impacted and you could be putting your aircraft in danger of being fragged by doing so... but that's all situational dependent... good luck...
