Has anyone noticed occasionally that only one pylon bomb releases? I can't find the relevent key to enable\disable this function.
It would be handy to use just one bomb release during a limited ammo flight.IP: Logged |

It's either the 7 or the 8 key. It also allows you to fire rockets in pairs rather than all at once.IP: Logged |

The 7/8 key only selects rockets to singular/multi mode. The single bomb release only happenes very occasionally and by mistake? It would be handy to enable singlure mode when required.
I wondered if i was accidently hitting another function key during flight? IP: Logged |

from my experiences, you are able to have single bomb release, aswell as single missle/rocket release, these features will be added to the A10 very very soon, but currently the way things are setup on all but the A10(to be completed), you can only release all bombs at once, and one rocket from each pylon at once.. and there's the clue to how I'll be able to have a single missile fire, or a single bomb released  IP: Logged |

This is wild,I've said this a couple of times now but no one seems to notice. Press Backspace once when pilon bombs are selected. You will release one side of the pilons first (say the left side), then (because it doesn't seem to cycle through the pilons and I don't usually have time to figure out if it will - because some smart___ is blasting holes in me) reselect pilons (press 4 then 5) and release the remainder of your pilons. Now this feature does work and I expect it would also work in ripple mode - this could greatly increase the number of bombing runs you can make. IP: Logged |

Sorry to hear that. It may be the plane/loadout you are flying. I learned this in the ju88 with heavy bombing loadout and have used backspace in the spit 190 and mustang with success.IP: Logged |

I noticed that my keyboard.inp:
"inpWeaponsStationSelect = Backspace / joystickbutton4 : 0 1 2" had a joystick button select.After a few sorties this is the sequence to drop single bombs. A arm weapons
Joy4 (backspace does not seem to work right)
8# to select single mode
*********NOTE only one pylon has changed to singular mode
After the first bomb release the remaining bomb will not release until you deselect the pylon (by picking another) then select it again.
The remaining bomb will now drop.
