cannot produce and mssing track file How to use HD bombs (BetAB-500 with booster)?

[Gierasimov]

What do I need to do to hit intended point with the HD bombs? I tried flipping the WCS COOP switch UP and dropping them kind of like Snakes (MK HD series) but can hit the target. No wind.

They work for me, just hard to get lateral aim right with CCRP. I’m sure you set target alt

Can you elaborate a little on your tactics please ?

Just normal CCRP. Set target alt, make sure alt QFE is set to briefing. Then in OPT mode put circle on target, hold launch, then Pull up with 4-5 G until bomb drops. If there’s wind more then 5 m/s you need to pre designate.

Thanks @AeriaGloria I will keep practicing, however:

DTC weapon set to target location;

Altimeter to target QFE ~ 754 (target at 75 meters in ME/DTC) (QFE in the briefing) 753.88.

 Parameters: WCS COOP switch UP; speed 780km/h, dive from 5000 meters, circle on target, hold trigger pull 4G to level, tone, separation and now:

-- bomb deploys chute, then fires up booster and hit long about 500 meters; 

-- with WCS COOP switch DOWN the same but much shorter, far before the target, 

However with regular BetAB-500 LD, using the same technique as you and me describe herein, I hit that same target BANG ON THE HEAD.

This is why I asked about these bombs. I wanted to know IF I AM DOING IT RIGHT.

 

@ED -- I am not here to complain there is a problem with the bombs so, hence did not post this in the BUGS section. Why would you expect track file? I would expect you to explain how to use the weapons modeled in the game, since I could not see it in the manual. Also, I would think your standard tag is "cannot reproduce and missing track file" rather than cannot produce... unless you meant to say you cannot produce the answer to my query.

Its QNH that needs to be used not QFE!

MB uses QNH. DTC uses QNH.

The AI ATC talks about QFE. Dont use that only use the QNH thats set up for the mission.

Set your altimeter to what the briefing says. Not target altitude.
