CBU-97 woes
Been trying to hit enemy concentrations with CBU-97 and getting only maybe a third of releases working. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Other more experienced pilots I fly with are having the same issues.
CBU-97 is set with 2,000 feet burst height, pairs release, 1.5 second delay. F16 Block 50, target locked on GM radar, aircraft is at 20,000 feet, between 350 and 450 knots, slightly nose down (2-3 degrees), fall line right through the FPM. At about 10 miles get the loft cue, then soon after that the fall line comes down again, I hold weapon release when its almost touching the FPM and hold through the fall, no manoeuvring. Sometimes (1 in 3 runs) I get my pair off, but the rest of the time the fall line comes down through where the release should occur then travels back up and off dry.
Any ideas as to what is happening?
Also, debrief says I hit two bunkers, tacview says I hit two T62s…?

Panning external views of friendly a/c?
Hi - thanks for BMS 4.33! Now, possibly a dumb question.
I have mouse look enabled for external views and this works fine to pan the view of my own aircraft, but doesn’t work when viewing other aircraft, such as using the 8 next friendly view for instance. As I’m stooging along in autopilot I like to watch other birds in the circuit etc and I want to be able to zoom in and out and move the view around with my mouse.
Is there an .ini setting to change or do I just need to use keys to manipulate the view of enemy and friendly air and ground units?

RE: BMS Manuals in paperback
I got mine - thanks for doing this Red Dog! I have the same page numbering error, but otherwise, it looks lovely.

RE: BMS Manuals in paperback
Thanks! Ordered one. Discount didn’t work for Oz, but cost was still reasonable in my view.

RE: Saitek X-52 Profile
That’s exactly right Mike. It’s as though activating the stick profile turns off all other key files.

RE: Saitek X-52 Profile
Hi Mike - thanks for your reply - nope, not using the mouse wheel for master modes. I mean using the mouse in-cockpit to click A-G button on ICP. Alterante way in the kesmonkey profile is to click the MFD button on the X-52 throttle base. Neither works. With the X-52 profile active, the scroll wheel (on the throttle. not the mouse) correctly adjusts radar range.
It seems that when the X-52 profile is activated, the actions assigned by the profile work (basically the throttle scroll wheel and the mini-mouse stick controlling the radar cursor), but the rest of the keyfile doesn’t. It’s a head-scratcher.
I think I can get by without those functions. I should be able to move the radar cursor with the F8, F9, F10, F11 keys and i should be able to find the keypresses for radar range and use those.
I checked via DXDiag - my Saitek stick is Controller ID 0 and the rudder pedals are ID 1.
Not sure if this matters, but my G500 mouse is also controller 0 (as well as “Programmable hotkeys” ) - would that represent a conflict?

RE: Saitek X-52 Profile
Thanks Shiznit - that was the issue (not having the profile loaded) that was stopping the mini-stick from working, but I have a bigger problem.
When the provided profile is activated, most of the JS buttons don’t work in-sim. I have the BMS X52 key file loaded, but I can’t go to any master mode (AA or AG) using either the mouse cursor in the cockpit, or the LCD panel controls from the kesmonkey BMS X52 key file. In the set-up screen depressing the keys calls up the appropriate action/keypress (ie the right LCD panel control brings up A-G master mode), but in-sim, most things aren’t working. The scroll wheel is changing radar range, but my mouse won’t cycle the ICP buttons.
I’m bewildered. I checked that the X52 flight controller is “preferred controller for older games” (I’m using Win 7 64 bit) and I reinstalled the X52 driver. My profiler is the latest version.
I’m sure it’s operator error (though I have followed the installation instructions) - any help appreciated.

PS - clutch function also disabled in saitek control panel

RE: Saitek X-52 Profile
Hi all - quick question with this profile, which I am using. The mini-mouse on the throttle won’t move the radar cursor - when I move it, it moves the mouse cursor in the 3D cockpit. Is there something I’m doing wrong, or a setting i have missed?
Thanks in advance for any help.

@tyrspawn:
ILS tutorial is uploading now - I was going to do a video on how to setup DTC and controls following ILS, then do mavericks.
Ah, this (DTC etc) will be great too. Just wanted to say thanks for the clarity and thoroughness of your tutorial videos - they are really good.
