Stores jettison...

[Chief Instructor]

I may be going nuts... I'm sure that I was able to jettison my missiles and rockets before, but now it doesn't seem to work.

I'm arming the pylons I want to jettison, seeing the "armed" green light but nothing is happening when I press the jettison button.

What could I be doing wrong?

It may also need master arm on

Thanks - Tried that but still no results! 

[tech_op2000]

odd, i was able to do it as pilot and gunner in single player with master arm on and off. with weapon selected or not selected.

Can you provide more info:
Was it Singleplayer or Multiplayer?
As Pilot or CPG?
On a specific mission or across multiple missions?

I had something similar, jetison normaly works in multiplayer with Geroge as CPG.

But one time I had a Human CPG and we had already some desync indicated by his TADS sight not matching what I was seeing on the MFD. We moped up the last enemy with rockets and gun, but one of them hit our engine.

And while RTB I tried to jetison the stores, Master arm on emergy cover up jetison ergency. I heard the clonck sound but when I looked stores where still on the wing, CPG said he saw them too.

Also the aircraft did not feel lighter or less draggy. Mybe in my case related to to desync.

Are you hitting the jett button below the selective jettison or the collective jettison? 

I've done both, both worked for me, I didn't notice a difference tq, but the visual worked. 

If you're selective jettisoning you need to hit / bind the jettison behind the selection. 

If you're collective jettisoning, you need to bind the guard and then the button. 

With collective jett you do not need to select which stations you're dropping.

Now it’s working again. Not doing anything different. Must be gremlins.

Sometimes for me it works, sometimes it doesn’t. My mate has the same intermittent issues.

Tried to jettison with a human CPG last night and it wouldn't work. Then they jumped out and it immediately allowed me to jettison. They jumped back in and then I couldn't deselect the pylons (the buttons were backlit green) but my CPG could. He turned them on and that turned them off for me lol. It just seems like another desync thing to work around.

I read that totally wrong at first and wondered what he'd done to annoy you that much!

Not read any of this thread, only saw it because you had commented on it. I thought the same thing on first reading, even though I knew that you had misunderstood what was written

LOL
