Hi @Wags and @ThorBrasil I think many of us in the community have missed  that the LOCK-ON botton must be used when doing manual bombing (!) 

From Eagle Dynamics MIG-29A Fulcrum Flight Manual :

Please see the red underlines below:

 

 

But if you scroll down a bit further, you'll see that it's possible to perform the attack without the pre-designate. And even then, it doesn't work.

 

Page 100 of the MiG-29A manual.

"Aiming in the "OPT" mode without pre-designate is performed if there is little time or altitude to attack the target.

To aim without pre-designate mark, after entering the dive and starting the laser rangefinder:

1. Determine corrections for wind speed and target movement

2. Move the aiming mark relative to the target by the amount of corrections

3. Press the gun or missile launch trigger at permitted firing ranges - the moving index in the effective firing zone and an audio signal is sent to the phones

4. After finishing shooting, withdraw the aircraft from the attack."

 

I asked Nineline to investigate whether it was my error or a possible problem.

I can't launch from CCIP, and the beep keeps coming. After the beep, the bombs fall in places outside the launch site. I also can't launch the fragmentation bombs. TOSS mode doesn't work either. If I'm doing the procedure wrong, please correct me! Could you investigate @NineLine? Thanks!

For me, bombs are falling short persistently. No matter the mode
