Okay. Now another weird thing happened. Mission 15:07 (again, day 1) SEAD Strike, no countermeasures. I mean, they're loaded and powered up, but they won't dispense. Program/Mode makes no difference. Betty...silent. Next mission, alls back to normal.
Is this the official forum to report bugs for v4.33? Ice?

hmm... Problem 1 sound like you are in master safe, but you say you dropped bombs so you should be already in master arm. A key binding collision maybe? (EDIT: nope, you say it works on a TE)
Problem 2 might be that you don't have any CM program actually programmed. The solution depends on the Falcon flavor you're flying. Is it AF, BMS, FreeFalcon?
Regardless of version, beware that what you set up for the campaing (in terms of the DTC) it not what you get on the TE if the plane is a different model... I believe.. I'm not sure in BMS, but it happened in AF.

When you're feeling sad, just remember that somewhere in the world, there's someone pushing a door that says "pull".

Sorry, I thought you were talking AF, as your other thread was AF.
Your problem with the A-A weapons sounds familiar, one of my buddies experienced this problem a few months ago, but only once. I can't remember how he "fixed" it but it may have involved going back to NAV mode and then trying the Dogfight switch to go MRM. Since it only happened once, I can't say we have much "experience" with it. Might be worth posting in the BMS forums to see if others have had the same problem.
As for the CM problem, verify that you have your Chaffs and Flares on in the CMDS panel. If you started in a cold jet, you may have forgotten to turn these on during the ramp start.

I assume because this is the "Falcon forum" of SimHQ it caters to all versions of Falcon: 1.0, AT, 3.0, 4.0, AF, Open, RedViper, BMS, etc. etc. etc.
Not being able to select AAM after utilizing AG weapons is an unheard of issue in BMS so it's most likely something you are doing incorrect procedurally. Are you loading your data cartridge on mission start? You say you see the missiles in SMS but you cannot select them? Can you select them in AA mode instead of MRM override? What is displayed on the SMS page exactly?

I don't use a data cartridge. I made a macro initiated by a hotkey so it always sets up the cockpit the same way.
SMS page looked normal but I could not select any hardpoints. First time it happened I switched to exterior view to see if my weapons were gone; as in jettisoned. I know I could just turn and look too, but in exterior view you can see all stations. I had 4 AIM-120's. HUD showed no AIM-120 cue or range to release. Holding pickle did nothing. Target lock made no difference.
I agree, it's unusual. A 'PICNIC' is possible, especially since it hasn't recurred. However, if I get a chance I will try to re-create the problem and make some screenies.

Master arm on is automatically selected for any weapon you're practicing with in the TEs. However, it needs to be manually selected to activate the weapon once you're in a campaign.
