You have to set a key in your control options to arm your bombs.

Also, before spawning in the mission you have to select a correct detonator. There are high altitude fuses and low altitude/dive bombing fuses. The low alt detonators need a smaller amount of "bomb flight time" to arm and also have a detonation delay, which means you can drop from low altitudes and the bomb will explode with a delay to let you get away from the blast.

So after you set a key to arm the bombs in the options, in short you need to :

1) Go to the loadout screen and select a low altitude detonator (the one that has the default 14 second delay).

2) Fly the mission.

3) Arm the bombs.

4) Execute your attack and drop the bombs.

I tried posting this message a minute or two ago but it appears to have failed. Sorry if this is a double post.

I'm unable to get a bomb loadout to work on my 109. I've gone and added it to a loadout and saved at every screen as recommended in the loadout bug threads, saving and clicking ok at each stage.

When I'm ready to bring it into a campaign or quick mission, the pre-flight loadout screen confirms my changes: bomb holder plus a bomb, when I fly however, I have no bomb, but I do end up qith the hold/release mechanism on some attempts.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it?
