[2.9.9.2474 MT] Pullup light does not illuminate during Laydown bomb release

[Stickler]

According to the RL -34-1-1, in Laydown mode, the pullup light will illuminate to indicate bomb release and will go out when the bomb button is released.

In the game, the pullup light does not illuminate.

Hey thanks for the report! Could you maybe create a track for us to check it quick? Will take a look at it!

[Stickler]

Upon further reading, the pullup light is actually supposed to illuminate during all weapon release modes as long as a weapon release signal is generated.

In DIRECT mode, this would be while the bomb release button is depressed. In modes with an automatic release, this would be from the moment the system generates the release signal until the bomb release button is released.

The light not illuminating in LAYDOWN is therefore after all not a problem with LAYDOWN implementation which would be reasonable to have demonstrated with a track, but a lack of implementation in all modes, which is most likely a design choice or oversight instead of a bug.

Please do take note that the manuals often cant be taken literally and sometimes contradict the electric wiring diagrams of the technical maint manuals and the like.

But yeah, we will have a look. Thanks.
