Do you mean while flying a mission from FMB or in FMB itself?

In FMB fuses are selected from airgroup properties right next to bomb loadout selection.

So you don't arm them when flying!!!

You still need to arm them. I have mine set to ctrl-W, not sure if it's the default setting.

Thats the problem nothing happens when i hit ctrl w the switch doesn't move

Sry to hijack the thread Krupi but can someone explain what i was doinf wrong last night trying this same topic..

I selected the bomb in loadout, armed it and used the short fuse switch...im not even sure the bomb fell.. the crosshairs dimmed when i was pressing the bomb release button if that helps..

am i sopposed to do something in the bomb loadout options too? Dive bomb,low level etc etc?

Well I use the 109E3/B online and I don't have any problems only in fmb

Also online the knob does move and a light comes on.

Now that is odd! BF109 yes?

Which fuse did you choose?
Was the switch on divebombing "sturz" or levelbombing "waagerecht" ?
Depending on the fuse and the switch position it can take up to 800m to arm the bomb.
