Bomb distributor key commands not working properly

[El Marta]

Hello.

Regardless of what keys I assign to the bomb distributor commands, they only do work when there is a mouse controllable cockpit item.
I can use keys in the Blenheim for toggling salvo and series release but nothing else.
In the Heinkel I can use keys to decrease and increase salvo length/amount but nothing else.
Ju88 works as advertised. I already did a complete reinstall, but it did not help.

I am using Win7 64bit Home.

Has anybody experienced this before?

Blenny only has single/salvo
111 only has series
ju88 has single/series/salvo
br20 has single/series/salvo
stuka has all, slot 1, slot 2
110 has single, salvo
109 w/ 50kgs, has single/salvo

series mode: this is the only mode where you can change the number of bombs. 1-32 for 111, infinite-24 for 88, infinite-12 for br20.

Hopes this helps.

So no salvo release in a Heinkel with 8 sc 250s?
Is it correct that the minimum series reads "1" and 1 lamp is still burning when I fully decrease it? In the Ju88 it reads "infinite".

No way to change the intervall between the single bombs of a series in the Heinkel?

Thanks for the quick reply.

For salvo on 111, select all bombs (I run it to 32 even if I have just 8) and zero meters between bombs. Below 4000 m, zero meters between bombs is a little buggy, so I use 20 meters between bombs regardless of height for "salvoing" the bombs.

Yes, min bomb drop is 1, there is no infinite.

Ju88 is infinite, then 1-24 even though it has 28 50kgs. So you can drop all bombs at the same time in salvo, all bombs in series, first bomb bay, 2nd, then externals with 0 meters to 450 meters between bombs.

On heinkel, you can drop 1-32 bombs with between 0 meters to 400 meters between bombs. (bombsight is off for 50kgs, use 24 meters between bombs for better results.)

That is exactly the problem. I cannot select zero meters between bombs. When I press the key nothing happens.

P.S.:
Oh bummer . I forgot to assign the keys for that. I thought it would suffice to have that short delay toggle.

Nevertheless I learned a lot about the different bomsights from your posts. Thanks a lot.

Making sure. Do you have a keys bound for increase/decrease Bomb distributor delay?

[El Marta]

NOW I do.
