Do we have the ability to jettison just the fuel tanks ?

 

I’ve gone to SJ, highlighted the tanks, pressed weapons release and nothing,,,

 

If I hit the emergency jettison, I loose all my A2G,

 

Thanks to all who reply....

Just tried it in instant action mission, no problems doing the jettison.

Are you sure you have the button mapped correctly?

 

 

Can link the track if you want

From NAV master mode and default MFD setup:

OSB 14 - SMS

OSB 11 - S-J

OSB 7, OSB 19 - Select TK370 on stations 4, 8

Press WR button on SSC

 

Seems to work fine. There is no requirement to be master arm, works in safe, arm, or sim. For complicated S-J releases hold WR down until all stores are jettisoned as sequence may take a second or two. Please post a track with a failure to S-J any store.

What's SSC?

Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit

DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

In game? As for rl Master arm has to be arm.

 

Only for selective jettison (SJ), for emergency jettison (EJ) it does not matter if master arm in on or not. EJ should work in the air even if MMC and ST Sta power are off.

As one can drop his own ext. tanks / selective - I wonder - is there ANY way to get my AI wingmen drop their ext. fuel tanks? Like in F-15C when i tell my wingman to "jettison weapons" AI first time drops just the ext.tanks, and then at second time radio command to jettison weapons, AI drops the weapons. Is there any way in F-16 to get AI drop JUST the empty (or half-full doesnt matter here) external tanks? In Hornet have also many times wondered the same thing. If commanded "jettison weapons" in High fidelty mods, they immediatly drop everything. If there is not implemented any way, maby @Eagle Dynamics could fit same type of "sequence" of radio commands for jettisoning ai´s stuff.. ? (like in f-15C for example) Dunno if there is, havent found any info atleast about this. And sry for littlebit offtopic, but i think this can fit here also, as we speak about f-16 jettisons. Sry for my crappy spelling. I´m Finnish 🙂
