Problem with rockets

[Rlaxoxo]

If I load rockets on outer pylons together with bombs I can't use rockets

 

If I load pair on Rockets on each Wing Pylon together with bombs I can only use the inner Rocket pylons on both wings while the outer Rocket pylons are just left sitting there

[razo+r]

on your PCA, select the rockets, then on the upper row, select the outer ones

That's the thing there is none

 

Only Inner

Isn't the issue that mixed loadouts are not supported by the aircraft? Meaning mixing rockets + bombs will cause issues per the real aircraft, as the plane wasn't meant to mix air to ground ordinance.

[Rlaxoxo]

I thought that was meant to different type of bomb ordinates not rockets?

[razo+r]

you shouldn't mix payload, doesn't matter what, just go symmetrical and most things should be ok

[Robin_Hood]

The manual says (emphasis is mine):

 

The aircraft ballistic computer can only handle one type of

Air-to-Ground weapon. Do not load Air-to-Ground weapons mix

(e.g.: rockets and bombs, or Mk-82s and Belougas, etc.) since it

is probable that the system will not be able to handle the

configuration.

 

So, no mixing rockets and bombs either.

i think so far only the IFF bug is confirmed... IMHO what you report RLAXOXO is not a bug, it is probably intentional.

And the bomb number release as well

Is this valid also for AG cannon?

I made a mission with GBUs, and then I wanted to strafe with the AG cannon, but the pipper never goes to position, i.e. the slant range calculation from the radar seems not to be considered

I don't think that's the case, rockets under inner pylons work fine mixed with bombs. Besides, the devs said that they won't prohibit mixed payloads (it's only a ballistic computer limitation in real life).

 

For guns, you have to switch to radio alt source (RS). Don't forget to enable radio altimeter.

Also, make sure you're set to K2 on the gun mode selector on the PCA.

Maybe I didn't explain well...

Look at the screenshot here below. The pipper points at the sky while I'm diving and already close to the ground. The red arrow shows where my shots land. Simply, the pipper does not give any idea of a ballistic calculation.

In this example all of your suggestions are taken into account. The very same happens with rockets in TAS.

do you see the ***km on the right. Aircraft has no range at that moment.

 

If that is right or wrong is up for discussion, for TAS.

RS should give you an calc no matter wat, if within bank limits.

Hi

 

What about diving more? :)

1. You are flying too low to use rockets. The **** KM is telling you that the radar is pointing at the sky so you have no range.

 

2. I've been told that a 10º dive is the best for either rocket or gun attacks. That means that you must have some altitude.

What is the pipper supposed to show in the M2000C ?

1- the direction where the rockets/shells are shot

Or

2- the point on the ground where the rockets/shells will land

?

I'm talking from my own logic now. Have you noticed that the gun or rocket pipers are always fix? That means that it doesn't show the impact point at all times. There is a ring that decreases and if you read the manual it tells you in which ring interval you can shoot. That means only in this interval the piper fixed point matches the impact point.

 

My own logic again ...

It's supposed to show impact point off course. WIP :D

The piper shows the point of impact at the indicated ranges. Since the range is always changing, the point of impact moves with it. The rockets/shells should land within the piper.

 

Of course, accuracy is affected by aircraft attitude. At shallow dive angles, the impact point drifts too far from when you fired the rockets/gun to when the rocket/shells impact. A high dive angle and you compromise aircraft safety due to low range to impact.

 

That is why a 10º dive is recommended.
