What am I doing wrong? Rocket switch on both. Right? Press bomb release switch. Right? I'm wondering if its because I'm using two buttons for the bombs. Left and right. I don't see a button that says simply "bomb release."
Also, how do I change skins? I figured that after all my decades of simming I could jump right into this. Geez! Nice airplane, though, for ten bucks.
Now where are those 109's? I know how to use the guns!

Thanks, Chris. I could swear I tried all of that but I'll do it again. You use the bomb release button, of course, but I've set two buttons for bomb release. Never had to do this on a Mustang before, theres just one release button on the real one. But in the settings it seems as though you need to delegate a right and left release. Am I wrong? I think that this may be where I'm going wrong.

I'm using a single button for bomb release and rocket launch (same button - pickle button on the TM-warthog). It's assigned to "Weapon Release". Are you perhaps assigning your pickle button(s) to "Bomb Salvo Left" and "Bomb Salvo Right"? If so, that's your problem. I don't even know what those do. Assign one button for firing rockets/bombs under "Weapon Release" and it'll work for both rockets and bombs. In "train" mode, it'll drop the left bomb on your first pickle, then the right bomb the second.

Yeah, I had a feeling that's what it was . Thanks, again, Chris. I'm going to go and change my settings. Thing is, those were the only bomb release options I saw.

The Bomb Salvo handles are an Alternate Mechanical release IIRC, the Bombs can be released Armed or Safe but if it's a case of Electrical Failure they cannot be armed. You can release them one at a time in the Train Position on the Arming Panel.
