Weapons dont release

[CH4Pz]

I havent been in the F14 in a while, as ive been working through other campaigns, and i use it in A/G even less, so im most likely missing something simple, but after not being able to release in mission 3 of cage the bear, i created a test mission, and was getting same issue. Ive also checked chucks guides and i perform everything in the list (using jester), but when ever i run in, and line up the target and use "Store Release" it doesnt come off the jet.

Just some basics, im in A/G, Master Arm on, in Bomb mode, weapon selector (on the stick) is off, mk84s selected (jester), Stations 3,4,5,6 selected (jester), Nose fuze, tried both single and pairs and im using CCIP, with dive of 30-40 degrees, i tried press and hold, as well as press and release, but nothing seems to work?!

i know its probably something simple, so ive attached a track, if anyone can workout what the hell is going on, its drivin me nutz!!

Oh, no, you've selected Computer Initial Point mode:

In this mode you have to designate IP first.

What you wanted (CCIP) is called Computer Pilot here

Btw, wings position is not a requirement for bomb release.

I took control of your track and as soon as I selected CP mode and pressed stores release bombs went away!
