How to drop the bombs?

Post by BigT-65 »

I have bombs loaded on my A2A B-17, I can open the bomb bay doors and see the bombs there but I can't figure out how to drop them. I tried the Shift D for drop dropable objects but that didn't work. What key combination will release the bombs? I have searched this forum. It seems that some members are dropping bombs but no one actually says how they do it.

In the cockpit down on the left there's a switch named "bomber call" that'll give control to the bombardier and after a minute they will drop.

Hi BigT-65.
Has HE11DUDE04 stated , but the big red knob below that switch also drops the bombs/bombbay fuel tanks , if bombbay doors are open , also shift+3 under CREW your second line down opens the bombbay doors , then first line drops the fueltanks/bombs.
