Adder_667th Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Hope im posting in the correct place... I want to fire the LAU-61 WP [smoke] rockets from hard point 2 in single fire. i.e. one at a time. I select Hard point 2 in A/G mode (Aircraft is A-10) then select Weapon release mode to either "sgl" or "rpl sgl" & ripple quantity is "01" even increase the ripple interval but still two rockets leave the launcher when I fire. Ive tried various weapon modes & ripple quantities but still cant get them to launch one at a time. Is there something im missing here? or can it not be done? Appreciate your help. Cheers Adder.

Brit_Radar_Dude Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 The single,pair,ripple stuff only applies to dropping dumb iron bombs. Generally when I use the WP rockets I only carry one pod like yourself. I sometimes have trouble with my joystick trigger firing more than one rocket and have got into the habit of giving it a quick tap rather than pulling it to ensure only one rocket fires.

Adder_667th Posted February 24, 2005 Author Posted February 24, 2005 Thanks for that info, I tried it again & your right about the dumb bombs, but im still firing atleast 2 rockets per launch, I see in the indicator in the lower left corner of the hud says 2/4 (if WP) or 2/16 (if LAU-61) even if weapon mode is set to single fire & ripple qty is set to one. So it looks too me like they can only be fired in this configuration, otherwise its a bug...im not sure, maybe i should submit a bug report.

KILSEK Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Hi all. have you tried ctrl+v? It toggles the salvo mode on/off. -KILSEK
Adder_667th Posted February 25, 2005 Author Posted February 25, 2005 Hey thanks Kilsek, I tried that "salvo mode" & it fires a single rocket on the first launch, then two rockets on the second launch & a single on the third launch etc, seems to alternate between one & two. Of course this is with two launchers attached in loadout, will have to try it with single launcher & see if i can get one per shot. Good progress though :D Cheers.

Guest ruggbutt Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Stagger rocket pods on alternate stations. If you carry 2 pods don't place them on the same station on the opposite wing. This way you'll guarantee that you fire one rocket at a time.
