How do I actually drop water\retardant?

Featured Replies

Hi guys

I've just loaded up FirefighterX for the first time and have found some fires but I can't seem to actually drop water\retardant even though my tank shows as full.

I have configured a joystick button for the Drop Tanks (release all) option but nothing happens.

There's nothing in the FirefighterX Settings to configure a button so I'm puzzled!

I know it's something obvious but I can't figure it out!  Help! Where am I going wrong?

Thanks

When you figure this out, please try to avoid my neighborhood. I'm about as retarded as one can get already, and my wife isn't likely to take much more!  LOL!

Hello James,

what similator and version of FireFighter X are you using?

the correct event is "Release droppable objects" or "Shift&D".

Make sure that everything is set up correctly, that your tank contains enough water and the drop parameters are set correctly. 

Best regards
