This may be a bug with bomb dropping from the new P-47

[Blitzen]

Although I have only flight tested the brand new P-47 briefly today

,it seems as if some of the time in certain configurations the bombs will not drop>When they do drop, i hear the "clunk " of release.When they don't it is as if the release button on my stick isn't working at all ;no release sound and no bomb drop. I haven't ( and probably won't) tested all the different ground attack configurations possible so I'm sorry i can't be more specific. I guess it could be my set up but that wouldn't explain why sometimes I do get a bomb on target and other times frustrating non-results.

Please delete this post- I have found the solution by finding newer key setting options & using the same .Problems solved-thanks!

Hey I just had the same problem. Can you describe your fix please? Thanks!

Edit: The "jettison all stores" button also failed to work. Configuration: P-47 D-28 with extra .50 cal ammo, 3 500 lb bombs. Center fuselage bomb dropped fine, outer wing mounted bombs refused to drop.

That command is for the rocket tubes. Otherwise, everything should be working fine - I see no issues here.

the bomb release button did not release my outer two bombs, which is why I tried the jettison button, and the bomb counter in HUD acted as if it had.

It only dropped the center bomb, and the wing bombs were visible on under the wings/plane handled like I was still carrying the bombs/release sound never occurred.

I believe I was recording; I'll check in a little while.

I am in the middle of something and can't boot up the game, but according to TacView I dropped all three bombs. It seems to be a visual bug that the bombs stayed attached to the wings, at least in TacView.
