antiload Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Hello, I seem to have an issue dropping dumb bombs in AUTO mode. I have checked and re-checked that AG mode is on/plane is armed/bombs are fused. However, they only drop in auto mode randomly. I hold pickle and wings level/stable/SPI selected (tested way point and TPOD targeting) still only drops retard bombs 1 out of 8 times. Exhausted all options. There is an absents of video tutorials on dumb bombs in auto mode. Just interested to know if any other JF-17 pilots were having an issue with auto mode. BTW auto mode works fine if one is dropping a laser guided bomb.
foxwxl Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Dumb bomb in AUTO mode will only release if the actual release position is very close to the firing solution. So the FPM should align with the bomb falling line, and HOLD the pickle at last 3 seconds countdown until bomb released.(FPM need close to fire solution point to get launch authorize) Guided bomb will loosen this restriction quite a bit, so U can manually determine a shallow or sharpen weapon trajectory. Also note dumb bomb have launch speed, bank/pitch angle limitations. Deka Ironwork Tester Team
