ME Option "Unlimited Weapons" not working?

[LeCuvier]

 i don't have the option "Unlimited Weapons" activated in the system options.
But I have ticked it in the ME options for a bomb use training mission (FW-190A8).
When I run the mission however, I can only drop one bomb. Shouldn't I get a new bomb every time I've dropped one?

In Options>Gameplay the Difficulties tick boxes are for preferences but can be overridden by the mission's difficulty settings. Selecting the Presets>Force GAMEPLAY & MISC. for all missions tick box overrides the mission settings. Even higher priority are the multiplayer server settings which can allow client preferences.

In missions the "unlimited weapons" option must be checked as well as the right-hand "yes" tick box otherwise the difficult is enforced "no".

And lastly not all airplane modules properly handle unlimited weapons.

It seems to me that ED have overcomplicated things a bit. I have now
1. ticked both checkboxes for "Unlimited Weapons" in ME Options
2. "Unlimited Weapons" is NOT ticked in Options -> Gameplay
3. The checkbox "Force Gameplay and MISC Options ..." under "Presets" is ticked (I had never noticed this item before and I haver never touched it)
And my Anton has unlimited bombs!
Does this makes sense to you? For me it looks like a mess.
But, with unlimited bombs and the bomb delay finally working, I can now sink ships without being shredded by my own bombs.

The mission difficulties have three settings: no setting, forced off, forced on. The first one allows the user general settings to take effect. Forced off or forced on override the user general setting. Except with "force gameplay..." option enabled then the user setting always overrides the mission settings.

Sorry but I do not see this setting option anywhere.

I'm a fan of the "KISS" principle, and this in my opinion is far more complicated than necessary.

No setting

Forced off

Forced on

Usually I keep "force gameplay..." tick box on and then if I want to practice with unlimited weapons I change. Making specific mission settings requires keeping "force gameplay..." off which subjects you to whatever random mission settings you come across.

Can you state where you make this setting? I'd be very much obliged as I cannot find it anywhere.

Its located on the left menu bar of the Mission Editor.  Press the check button.
