Sunderland problem

[KellyB]

Trying to fly HH's missions for these neat new birds, and the only weapon I can select is Sodium flares white.

I can't see them deploy when I try to drop them.

I can't see the bomb load in the spot view, nor can I select them.

Same is true of depth charges.

All weapons are in the Weapons folder.

I re-downloaded everything and reinstalled with no change.

Did I miss a piece of the puzzle?


I just discovered I have the same problem with the TK_ Halifaxes, so some spectre has entered the dungeon and made off with weapons controls!!!

Help

Don't know what to tell you. Open the bomb doors and the way the loadouts are designed the sodium flares drop first then the depthcharges or bombs.

End of problem

I almost don't want to report this, but when I open the bomb bay doors, I can wreak all kinds of havoc on the enemy below.

You see, I assumed (we all know what that means) that a flying boat would not have a bomb bay, so I expected to see the ordnance hanging off pylons on the wings and never thought to open a nonexistent bomb bay(!).

Oh well, at least old dogs CAN learn new tricks, after all...

They're not bomb bays as most would understand them, rather bomb doors! But the principles the same.

It answers many puzzles: I couldn't figure out why the xpd called for Internal bombs.

Got it now, tho.

Now, about those uboats, etc....

Thanks Ted for point out the obvious to me; it is the most often overlooked as I have just proven! Again!

once my sodium flares dropped bombs work fine , they show up once pickled after , in my case , the sodium lovies are dumped dropped .......imho the world is a bee hive of love on this day

The Sunderlands carried a variety of water markers including a "flame float", here is a picture of the large flame float mounted on the rear floor of a smaller RAF Coastal aircraft. The flame float is the red cylinder with yellow cone. Maybe Capt. Winters can make us a texture for the weapon and we can get it added at some point if Ted agrees.

Loadouts

Sounds fine to me. Would be nice to have the full array of equipment considering the limits of the game

AT-19, this one saw service with the RAF during WWII.

yeah...an interesting and unexpected change of pace watching the bay doors open under the wings and the ordnance come out on a slide....very cool....and firing the guns at night seeing the interior of the plane light up with the muzzle flashes....fantastic eyecandy here...thanks all
