AvroLanc Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 It would be nice to have the proper options for rocket ripple. The rocket settings should work exactly like the Hornet/Viper/F5 set up. You should only have a pod set up to either fire a single rocket or ripple the whole pod at once. The INV page has a setting for Single or Double....although I'm sure the 'double' option is a typo and should be 'Ripple'. Indeed if you set 'Double' in INVENTORY the DSMS profiles page shows 'Ripple' in the settings. In any case, Double/Ripple does nothing. It should fire off the whole pod with one pickle. AFAIK, the DSMS Single Ripple setting is not a thing in real life. One pickle press should be a single rocket or the whole pod. Probably easy to change if ED have the inclination.
Snoopy Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Real world single/ripple is a switch on the back of the rocket pod. Being able to change it in the DSMS was a work around for not being able to do that in the game. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website

Ideally move the 'switching' to the ME / Rearming window.

Or in another words - why bother with Single setting if you can fire single rocket in Ripple by short pressing trigger?

Any pickle press with the pod set to Ripple should fire the whole pod (not sure of the exact interval between rockets). With the single setting, one press is one rocket.
