I have been playing around with B-52's with Big Belly mod bomb loads. The problem I have is that the bombbay doors are closing before the full load of 84 Mk82 or 42 M-117 bombs are released. This occurs both with the doors set for manual or automatic. The ripple quantity in the cockpit INI file and the release count under the LevelBombAI entry in the data INI has been set to account for the size of the bomb load.
 
I have fiddled around with the "BombBayOpenTime=" and "BombBayCloseTime=" settings to no effect, within seconds of coming open the doors start to close. I seem to remember that there is some kind of setting in the aircraft data file that can force the doors to stay open until manually commanded to close but I can't remember what it is.
 
I would appreciate some help on this issue.

 now there's a thought,, since I don't use auto pilot I wouldn't ,know of that problem,with all the work I've done on the bombers I have yet too incountered that problem,,,so how are you guys targeting the target or bombing it I should say I've gotten to where I can fly in maually at 30,000,, get lined up on the target and hit wing leveler,,,and release at 7.6 statued miles out,,and hit the target objective box,,with the 6th or 7th bomb in the train the rest are noise,, I have threads in here,explaining how to, here's one

Are you flying on Autopilot as you approach the target?

Autopilot will close the bomb bay doors a second or two after you open them.

 

That was it. I was turning on autopilot to hold the aircraft steady when I went to object camera view to observe to bay doors and bomb release pattern.
