gulredrel Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Hello, don't know if this has been answered before. Have to get used to the new forum and search. Is it possible to selective jettison empty Matra rocket pods? On the armament panel, there is no RKT light after the pods are empty. I could select the center fuel tank, but not the empty pods. Have not tried emergency jettison. Regards Jens
=36=Witcher Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 No. By the way, if you would bring three tanks and not just one, you would drop them altogether anyway. You can only jettison per armament type, not for "empty/not empty".
myHelljumper Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 I think what he talk about is when you have emptied all the rocket pods, the RK3 disapear from the PCA so you can't select them to jettison them.

Yes, you're right... My bad. Well, the answer is "no" anyway, unless (I think?) you emergency-jettison everything, but you have to make sure you have nothing execpt Magics in outer pylons.
Frederf Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Stores disappearing from the buttons seems to cause all kinds of buggy behavior. Things are still selected until you press a blank button to deselect them, can't jettison stores. Life would make a lot more sense if items remained labeled on the buttons until both not selected and no more expendable part of the store was still carried.

You can only jettison per armament type, not for "empty/not empty". AFAIK, the behavior is correct for the 3 tanks. Anyway the 3 tanks configuration is for ferry flight on Mirage 2000C. The jettison system has been modified on Mirage 2000-5F to be able to drop just wings or fuselage since the 3 tanks are used as war load. Mirage fanatic !

I'm not saying it's not correct, but only that you cannot select the tanks you're dropping. You either drop all of them, being empty or not, or none of them.
