HOTAS Button to switch between Strafe and Bombs??
-
Hey Gents,
is there a HOTAS function to switch between Guns (Strafe) and Bombs when you’re in A2G mode? Or is the only way using the MFD buttons?
Reason why I’m asking is, that when I have found a target on the ground I lose it when I have to look inside the cockpit and push some buttons on the MFD.
Any suggestions?
Regards Matt

You can assign HOTAS button to OSB on MFD. AFAIK its OSB1 on SMS page that switches between guns and underslung weapons.

I suppose we can assume (until they confirm) that real pilots, if they ever need to do that, feel the MFD buttons with their fingers. Other ways, like the one macieksoft suggested, are compromises for us simmers.

According to some old real life documentation there is such a hotas function available, maybe it’s just not modeled in BMS, or maybe that function has been deleted again in real more recent updates of the avionics, who knows.

… rather than strafing, use HUD mark point first. Then prepare your pass.

Eloborating on that, and checking I’ve understood, you can see the markpoint on your HUD in AG mode, so you basically aim your markpoint. If you have on MK82 mode selected, you can just click or hit 7 to start Mark mode - IIRC, it’s in HUD mode at first.

Marking is also kind of not handy if you pick something up visually. If one could slew the TGP to the HMCS it would be just great
