How to use ground weapons?

[ThorBrasil]

Has anyone managed to drop bombs on target in OPT and TOSS mode? I've tried everything and can't use it. I've looked at the manual, but to no avail. I guess I'll have to wait for the @Wags videos.

Make sure you have no R27s on your inner pylons, currently doesnt work if you do.

I'll try again. Thanks!

I've tried everything and I can't get bombs to drop properly and detonate, even when armed. I'll just have to wait for Wags' video. I've read the entire manual.

Dumb question. But you tried the air to ground - air to air switch right? 
 

You won’t get CCIP until it takes less then 6 degree pipper depression to hit target. Beyond that it’s only CCRP so has to be held

Yes, I switched from AA to AG. I followed the manual on pages 99 to 100, but without success. I'll wait for tutorial videos. Thank you!

Are you sure you have the right weapon set? Use only pre-made ED sets. A2G weapons cannot be mixed.

Don't mix it in mig-29. Not designed for that.

This is a really simple machine.

Yeah. One of the reasons Yugoslavia never operated T variant. With them attached. Radar would be useless

Also the original Fuse is set to 11.5 seconds on the FAB-500 make sure to look at that too.

The problem with the ground weapons was that I was mixing them up. Using the MiG-29A's original settings, I can launch.

Now my challenge is to hit the targets. In OPT mode, I have to activate the laser, but by the time I do, I'm already on top of the target and don't have time to activate, align, and release the bombs. I dive to over 10,000 feet.

I can't drop the cluster bombs.

My problem is my bombs are landing way short. i am using OPT and following the manual to the letter. Any thoughts?

Cheers!

That's where the laser comes in. It offers greater precision, but making it work is the problem.

[Monkman911]

I'm using the laser and following the manual exactly. Maybe there is something I'm missing or doing wrong but every drop is at least 300 meters short.

Cheers!
