Cycle Hardpoint in A-G mode with Bombs
-
@Red:
The above in the manual is a mistake on my part. I confused missiles and bombs. It will be corrected in the next revision, I apologise
Would that mean it isn’t possible even in the sms with OSBs, I guess?
-
That is correct.

SimNextAGWeapon -1 0 0xE 4 0 0 1 “SHORT: Next AG Weapon”
It’s an older shortcut and not a real F-16 function but it should function in 4.33. Realistically you press the OSBs on the SMS format (look for the OSBs close to the station numbers, should be OSB#9 & #16). The missile step button does nothing about station selecting in the AG context. Stepping within weapons on a multi-weapon rack on a specific station is done with the STEP OSB when present.
EDIT: “When present” being rather important as it never seems to apply to bombs.
wrong. there is no way to cycle bomb hardpoint in 4.33, same as 4.32.

In 4.32 you can cycle AA and AG hardpoints, I have it mapped to two buttons on my stick.
I will have to adjust this in 4.33.

no, u can ONLY cycle AG missile, e.g. AGM65.
u can NOT cycle bombs. -

u can NOT cycle bombs.Really? Just did. Lost sound once I got in the pit, but you can see me click through using the AG cycle button on my throttle.

Yes, there is/was a command to cycle AG weapons (i.e. type …. it was/is Backspace by default), but you can’t do that with hardpoints with AG bombs, only missiles.
For example, load up with all MK82’s (or CBUs, or LGBs …. all the same weapon). Now cycle from hardpoint #3 to #8.

I see, it cycles the weapon type and not the specific hardpoint.

I’m glad to see that i was not the only one confused with this. At least that explains the source of the problem
-
Dumb bombs aren’t to be cycled, only missiles can and JDAMs also can, I’m not totally remember regarding LGBs, maybe someone can try and update.
-
In 4.32 you could drop bombs from the same hard point by going AA mode between. By going AA and back you reset to the default hard point, left or right I don’t remember, haven’t tested in 4.33 if it still work.

no, it seems like a bug to me. if i drop 1st bomb on the left, then switch to AA mode to defend, then back to AG, i have to release 2nd bomb on the left, now how to balance plane?
4.33 is better. -
Does 4.33 no longer do the same side drop if you switch MM?
