HUD not displaying pipper in NAV/Bomb Plan when trigger unsafe


Recommended Posts

Posted

I tested this with both high- and low-drag bombs. The HUD does not display any aiming indicators when the trigger is un-safed in NAV/Bomb Plan. The HUD stays in navigation mode, with no bombing symbology. An M-point is selected. 
Unless I am mistaken, NAV/Bomb Plan is the mode to be in when trying to level-bomb CCIP. This was tested on a multiplayer server with a cartridge made in the F10 map, and in singleplayer by another user.

Could you list everything you had loaded on the jet?

You can't use CCIP mode with slick bombs. Only with high drag. 

 

CCIP = High drag bombs + BOMB PLAN + NAV + Trigger unsafe

 

If you want to drop slicks in BOMB PLAN that is called Level Bombing, and is done in ANF instead of NAV. 

 

Level bombing = Low drag bombs + BOMB PLAN + ANF 

 

Are you sure you tried it properly with the high drag bombs?

Ok I just tested the hi-drag, they work. My friend must have done something wrong when testing them. 
However I have a kneeboard that suggests that low-drag bombs can be dropped CCIP, is this not the case?
My apologies in advance, I just thought that I had previously used this method for low-drag release.

I think I know what kneeboard you're talking about. I don't know why it's set up that way. 

 

As far as I know:

 

Direct release = Low drag bombs + BOMB PLAN + NAV + Trigger unsafe

 

Direct release provides no sighting information, it is intended for release in formation flight using an external queue for trigger down.

I think he might have misread the kneeboard (I'm pretty sure I have the same mod).

Yeah, if it's this popular set of kneeboards, then it does not say you can do CCIP drops with low drag bombs.
