Try to drop or jettison but nothing happens because there are no bombs.

There is a mission with custom load out and I can go through these presses and see bombs in the Bombay but can’t get them to drop one bomb actually falls out not long after the doors are open on its own.

I know how to use the load out system but it doesn’t work or save your settings and I'm using single missions to test it.
According to how it was in 1946, you can't bomb with autopilot engaged - you have to use the level stabilizer.
My guess would be that, as soon as you engage the autopilot, it jettisons the bombs right away as it corrects the course and/or altitude. Or it drops them somehow automatically, without pilot input.
