[NOT BUG, jettison limitation]Cannot jettison drop tanks after fired weapon

[Rabbisaur]

Hi, if you have drop tanks on pylon 3 and 5. And weapons on pylon 2 and 6 (I only tested SD-10 and C701 so far). After you fired weapons you cannot drop your fuel tanks anymore. Not with select jettison, not with panic button either.

I'm trying to pin point how to reproduce the behavior. Spending weapons may not be the key. But there's something weird with jettison. Please hold on.

Woked fine for me after dropping rockets as well as GBU12s...also remeber it working yesterday after SD10s

[Rabbisaur]

So far the shortest reproducing is: 2xPL5, 2xSD10 2xdroptanks and SPJ pod.

 

Air start -> switch to BVR mode-> searched a target 20NM away for 15~20 second in TWS mode -> TWS track -> press IFF interrogation key a few times -> panic button doesn't work

[Rabbisaur]

OK, getting more precise. Same load out, air borne -> full AB -> IAS reached over 500knots @ 10k feet -> panic button doesn't work

[Rabbisaur]

Does jettison/ emergency jettison has speed limit of 500 knots... Sorry I confess, I didn't read the manual yet... Will read it now.

[Rabbisaur]

OK, jettison IAS limit is about 480 knots.

 

The second sentence from the end of the Chinese manual mentioned it vaguely...

 

Please disregard this report.

Should I close this bug report, sir?
