CCRP lofting not working
-
what kind of bombs are you using?
do you pull with 4 Gs?
do you pull AFTER the circle stops flashing?
dont use 45 degree angle.better 20-25 -
the Mission dictates practice BDU 33s.
I am infact pulling up while it flashes, 20° as designated. Just now I tried pulling up later, 2-3 seconds after the PUAC disappears. Now it seems to work! -
yeap. should pull AFTER the circle stops flashing. and to be on the safe side, wait even more as Tomcat said
-
dont use high drag bombs for loft delivery

That PUAC is a max range loft which isn’t quite implemented in BMS at this point, but lofting works from that 2-3 second point onward. Usually 15-25 seconds away from the target is the sweet spot for accurate lofting.

CCRP lofting, the math and mechanics, work. If you fly in the correct place and hold down the button the bomb comes off toward the target. The difficulty is the cueing information isn’t accurate. Try getting much closer and then farther away in small increments to see true toss range. I’m totally making up numbers but it should show the concept:
Level release, 1.5nm
Toss at 2.0nm, 10 degree achieved
Toss at 2.3nm, 20 degree achieved
Toss at 2.8nm, 30 degree achieved
Toss at 3.0nm, 35 degree achieved
Toss at 3.1nm, 40 degree achievedThese numbers are made up! But the pattern is farther away, more angle before release until you reach maximum. Also when you pull, pull continuously until release never stopping the nose movement. You’ll find that near max range a small extra distance equals a big release angle change. If you ever get 40 degrees consider this maximum range. To get exactly 45 is impossible and the throw advantage over 40 degrees is very, very tiny.

Thank you guys! I appreciate the help!

one thing that never fails me to succeed is wait till target is at 5Nm (4,8 ) Pull 4G and meet the cue till release
That is way past the loft cue in the HUD -
yes, otherwise the bomb fall line would not be visible.
I follow the training instructions to the letter, pulling up when the PUAC flashes, yet they don’t come off.
What makes it harder are the occasional turbulences and yaw oscilations of the airframe. It makes keeping the FPM within the fall line next to impossible.If the BFL is visible, you are not in CCRP mode. The Bomb Fall Line is only present in CCIP mode. CCRP mode (and CCIP post-designate) has the vertical Azimuth Steering Line, while CCIP has the straight (but often not quite vertical) BFL.
Would be nice to see the max range cue work, but I guess it would not be the simplest thing in the world to solve.

I stand corrected, though the steering line is what I meant.
