is their a page for arado bugs if so move this there please otherwise

Wait for my youtube videos to finish uploading

After rearming (at temps on finnish cause I'm that good) when you first press shift B to drop booster rockets
it first drops off the right wings booster and the right wings bomb (after watching the replay the left bomb comes off first then the left booster then the right booster)
then when you press it again the left wings booster comes off

 

the third time I rearmed 
the dude doing the rearming had a bit too much to drink and told me rearming my turret was going to take awhile
and never put any booster rockets on, I also took off ok so I think he didn't put any bombs on either
still looking for the recording of that

 

Also you can't use the periscope unless you have the bomb sight equipment?
That seems wrong cause I can see the periscope but the buttons didn't work

Otherwise its awesome plane
and even without the scope I hit my target in a 800 kph low level dive 

 

EDIT: does il-2 replay folder have a backup or a recycle bin
cause my PC just crashed while I was recording then deleting my recordings

Hi Ross

 

Might it be you have the wrong key mappings? Or maybe there are some double mappings in your setup.

 

You pressed LShift B to drop the booster rockets? That default key is for 'Switching engines boost on/off' To drop the booster rockets you should use LShift D 'Jettison weapons'.

 

You can use the periscope without having the bomb sight equipment modification fitted. The divebomb/gunsight and the rear view are default to the aircraft and have the default keys LShift V and RAlt F. These are still available if you fit the bombsight equipment which uses V to access it.

 

Pardon me if you know this but you can find this info on the 'Specification' tab in the mission setup.

Yea I changed the buttons 
My remaps good no overlaps
Engine boost and bomb drop are on my stick throttle 
And theirs nothing else bound to B
And that doesn't even begin to explain why I lost one bomb and one booster after pressing drop boosters once
then the other booster the other time

I will have to recheck periscope bindings again
I was using both the bomb site and the periscope fine on the combat box training server
which is where I rebinded things and checked it all worked

 

god dam it the first person recording failed
o wait I found it

 

but this was working on combat box for periscope

have a recording of these working and I bound F to rear periscope view

 

first person view of take off I have will upload it tomorrow 

Issue after repair and rearm truck #1 (2nd time taking off)
but this happened after take off, I yawed hard to the right, looked over to check what had happened, booster didn't drop, so I hit it again

drop bomb mode button for me is bound only to * on the number pad and I hit Shift B to drop boosters with my left hand so no idea why that triggered
maybe it freaked out cause I dropped my right bomb first?

which is why he was asking me what happened because he only could see one parachute and one explosion 

Then I dropped off the left wing booster after a 3rd press and everything was ok
3rd person recording that is now lost backs this all up exactly 

 

 

Issue after repair and rearm truck #2 (3rd time taking off)

after that mission I rearmed again and had engine damage from someone trying to kill me


Bruh I don't have turrets sober up

 

I then made a take off without rocket boosters so I don't think I had any bombs either
didn't take a in-game recording of this so no way to be sure what happened

 

(also why can't we start both motors at the same time on all planes
and why does automatic start force you to do one at a time?
so much nicer starting both jets at the same time even if its a minor skill shot with having to select and start one engine at a time quickly so they are still synced up enough not to fail the ignition and throttle skill checks)
 

I have better wing view shots video also

And then after taking off successfully, but unsuccessfully engaging the auto pilot I crashed looking at the map in full screen
(I have A bound to auto level, and the arados auto pilot and the problem was muscle memory of pressing A once, but on the arado I have to press it twice (because you have to bind the three different systems to another button (lshift A in my case) so they trigger after its turned on)).

Can't see any bombs 

 

 

I abuse the repair trucks, on tank spawns a lot and also temps, and both combat box and Finnish both give you a big advantage if you have the skill to use them, and I haven't had any issues with any other plane or heard of anyone else having an issue with repair trucks, so I think its just the Arado.

There looks to be a lot going on with your key mappings.....

 

If you have 'engine boost' and 'drop bombs.....' both mapped to B you will get a 'flag' on your key mappings like the piccies show. 

Sorry, I doubled up on the piccies

Your barking up the wrong tree

 

 

Like I said twice already
I had tested everything works as it should before this happened
The only difference was that it was after using a repair truck
Which I doubt anyone has tested before

 

Just checked over everything again and it all works as it should, in the air and on the ground, so I believe these are purely repair truck issues. 
Except for the periscope not working on the ground?

 

I will upload videos tonight been a bit busy.

 

Re-read what I posted before commenting again please.

I recall booster shenanigans after MP rearm have been reported in the game 4.706 update thread. One of the devs replied it was known bug and the fix was being worked on.  We'll just have to wait I guess.

I re-read it quite a few times before posting and came to the wrong conclusion about what you were saying. Hope you get it sorted.

[RossMarBow]

Uploading the video now but its a 1hr 50min mission and about 30GB so will have to leave the upload overnight. 

Another issue I remember I had was when reviewing the in-game recording 
the wheels stayed spinning backwards
even while completely stationary and slowly moving forwards I don't think it was just a cosmetic issue either
it actually felt like my wheels where spinning backwards and power very strange
