Hey,

i just downloaded Phil Strokes' Mk 82 500 pound bomb in FSX (http://www.simviation.com/fsxmisc1.htm ). Now, what can i do with it?! Can i drop it from a plane? Is there a certain plane i need to get? Does it only work in missions? PLEASE HELP ME!

hehe... try putting them in place of the flour bombs on the Ultra Light...

Yea, i did that, but do you know if i can drop it from other aircraft? also can you use it in free flight?

I was being sarcastic.

See link here for pics, so you have a good comparison.

I think its a fun idea,  but if I am going to carry bombs on an aircraft in a simulator, I want it to simulate carring 500 lbs per bomb, as well as the change in flight behavior after the payload has been delivered.  I love B-17's personally. Used to fly one all the time in FS9. Its such a great design.

You can try using the SDK to develop your own missions, using what ever aircraft you want, I suppose, even imported ones.

I know this is a bit off topic but all the talk of bombs on Ultralights reminded me of this I saw this year

Thats pretty cool.  Looks like a slammer missile or something  :)
Sorry, im not too good with my AGM Missiles  :P

I'm pretty sure that is an Exocet anti-ship missle...

Ah, so that explains why I'm one bomb short in the marmalade inventory.

thanks guys, i think i figured it out. so far i have only got the bomb to work on missions. i will let you know if i can get it to work in anything else. Thanks again
