i16-24; How do you fire rockets and drop bombs?

[jackd]

I got the i-16 setup with payload in the ME. but how do you fire them? Some Russian error message?

My current weapon setup for Rocket/Bomb Selector buttons do nothing but scroll through 8 (or more) various setups. Where's the drop or fire switch?

Use this box.

1-6 rockets 

7,8 bombs

I means launch, drop 1by 1

II launch drop pairs

IV launch 4

Once you set your dial position initially, turn on the box by rotating the arrow switch on the right side. Now the weapons are armed.

Use the button on stick that launches weapons(look in controls). It's different from machine guns.

Thanks, i now got this setup, quite difficult system in the midst of action, and seems complicated unless you could combine button presses.

Tried it out but before you have the proper loadout ready it's usually far too late to hit anything. This needs an overhaul, as do the gear functions.

Streamdeck programming stuff?

Why configure it mid action at all? You configure (rocket/bomb selector) dial beforehand even on ground using MOUSE. Before attacking you only need to set (main bomb switch - on) with mouse to arm weapons and then press (weapon release) that is bound on your throttle or joystick.

I only have weapon release bound. The rest i do with mouse since cockpit is clickable!

But i can understand that you might want to bind main bomb switch - on as well.

Well i just tried it, but it seems after weapon release you have to reconfigure it all, weapon selection, and at least the main bomb switch needs reactivation it seems.

You don't. You just keep pressing weapon release til youre out of ammo.

OK thanks, will try that later ...

 Of course if you restock ammo and want to attack again you need to redo all steps
