Rockets and bombs question

[Forcavitale]

Hi everybody!

Been reading the forum to find a solution to my question but i cant seem to find it.

Since im very new to the use of rockets and bombs, i would be very glad if somebody could tell me what steps i need to take to be able to use them. I have tried the training mission for rockets and bombs but nothing happens, probably cause i dont have any key on my stick assigned to the function. When looking in the controls meny, what function is it that i have to bind to buttons on my stick or keyboard to be able to fire the rockets or release the bombs.

Thank you helping new guy out.:)

I read it and still can't fire missles

[flightace37]

Battery: ON

Guns/Camera: ON (May not be necessary, but you want the sight anyway)

Weapon Selector: ROCKETS (Up)

RX Release Mode Knob: SINGLE or AUTO

RX Counter: 1 (Reset if necessary)

 

Press Weapon Release, as opposed to Trigger (not a Russian bird, after-all).

Ok so if I'm get it right here is I need to look in the options and then controls and find the weapons release function and bind a key on my stick to it, all the other actions are made by switches.

Actually I did not know that there was a quick guide, I have only seen the 183 pages instruction book, where can I find the quick guide?

In my sig ;)

 

Be warned, though: It is not yet perfect. See also the "Bugs and Problems" section.

Training mission.. maybe. That's how I learned to use em.

I am curious about the rocket performance..

 

I fly with a squad in IL-2 1946,, and we often use rockets on ground attack.. a friend who flew early jets and wwii aircraft, like the Hellcat, Panther, etc.. has said that in IL-2 the rockets are not correct in IL-2. They should go further. In DCS: P-51D they don't seem to go far... before they start dropping. How correct are they in P-51D ? Are they still going to be tweaked?

Or, are they set correctly now? Since I never fired a rela one, I can only go on what others who have tell me..

 

Thanx..

I did the training session and the bombs and rockets release fine. I set up my own mission last night, and could not get the bombs or rockets to release. I made several passes confirming the correct switch positions, but no joy. Guns worked fine though. Anyone else experience this?
