Eldur Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Yesterday I took an almost clean airframe, just with drop tanks and Jester refused to drop them which worked before that every time I tried. Are there tings preventing jettison of the tanks that I oversaw or is it perhaps something that changed with the hotfix? I could dump them with the Admiral's Doorbell though... Another one I noticed when I tried out the Zunis, I couldn't get rid of the tubes resp. the TERs. And those are a hell lot of drag... didn't try the emergency jett there though. Just noticed that there's a TER/MER jett switch on the armament panel in the back 'pit, but the manual says it's not operational. What is it/was it used for then? Was it planned to dump those racks and not used since the Zuni packs and bomb loadouts on the glove stations didn't went into service? If that's the case, wouldn't it make some sense to implement that feature as well?
Airhunter Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 I don't think you can drop the MER's as they are multi-use. I could be wrong though. Also, they used to carry beer in those tanks back in the day, so maybe that's why Jester refuses to drop them. :P
Naquaii Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 The TER/MER and AIM-9 jettison functionality was disabled quite early in the service life of the F-14. Not sure why but all documentation I have agree on it.
