AR 234 - Jettison RATO pods after takeoff

[Audgisil]

This refers to version 5.103

 

I have the commands for "jettison stores" and for "jettison jet boosters" mapped to the same switch on my throttle quadrant. With a loadout of one 500 kg bomb and two 250 kg bombs along with the RATO units on the Ar 234, I find that the first time that I use the switch after takeoff, it drops the RATO pod from the left side of the aircraft but drops the 250 kg bomb under the right wing at the same time. The RATO pod on the right side remains attached. Hitting the switch a second time then drops the RATO unit from under the right wing while the remaining 250 kg bomb on the left side stays attached (as it should).

 

Either way, a bomb shouldn't be dropped at all, since the key for dropping bombs is bound to an entirely different button on my stick and has nothing to do with jettisoning stores or booster rockets.
