Critter Posted June 19 Posted June 19 I'm not sure if I am missing something or not understanding something. This is in regards to dive toss with the Mk-82's. From watching the tutorials and reading it is my understanding that when you start your run (I have DT selected, fuses set, etc) you put the pipper on the target area, short-forward for Jester to "focus" on the target, hold the pickle button and once you get the tone slowly pull up and the computer releases the bombs according to its calculation. The problem I am having is that no matter what altitude I start my dive (again everything is set correctly) I immediately get the release tone. I could be at 13000' I could be at 10,000', 5000' etc. It doesn't matter I get the tone. So I if I continue the dive and don't pull up eventually the bombs release and they go short, if I pull up and the bombs release they go long. I was under the impression that the drop tone is only supposed to sound when its time to pull up out of the dive. I hope that makes sense. Any help is appreciated.
Solution uhntissbaby111 Posted June 20 Solution Posted June 20 You almost have it right. 1) place pipper on/around target and have jester lock with short context press. Doesn’t have to be exact at this stage 2) once ground is locked, now you place the pipper exactly over your target 3) once over target, hold pickle and you will immediately get the tone. That’s normal. Keep pickle held and do a nice smooth wings level pull. The bombs will automatically release at the right time Your confusion is in the tone. That is not the tone for when to pull up. The tone sounds as soon as you press and hold the pickle button 1

Zabuzard Posted June 20 Posted June 20 (edited) Dont forget to setup the Bombing Table tool with your planned release parameters (at least roughly), so that your computer uses an appropriate drag coefficient. Otherwise your bombs will miss. Unless you are flying an uncommon attack profile (shallow angle, high altitude, high drag - anything that increases impact of ballistic physics) you do not have to fly the parameters exactly. But they need to be roughly right at least. Edited June 20 by Zabuzard 1
