I am fairly new at this too but as I understand, you are trying to drop bombs from the CSWeapons control panel and that does not work as you said. If you open the manual and go to the section on dropping bombs it tells you how to get around using the CSWeapon control panel for dropping bombs. It does involve a bit of file altering in a saved flight FLT. file. I will not go in to details as that is why they recommend doing this only if you are confident in your computer skills. I found leaving the manual open to that section as you do it makes it a lot easier to understand. Worked for me and now I'm dropping cluster bombs! I would like some details on detonating the included (British Weapons Pack) WE177A. Is there a specific altitude or some thing? Any help appreciated! My final advice READ THE MANUAL. I found out that I'd been using the default machine gun for a couple of weeks before I took my own advice and now my A-10 growls! Best of luck!
