EFB Missing bomb selections
-
5 outta 5 on this addon. Absolutely love it! I was fortunate enough to sit in the left seat of the Vulcan that was on static display at Blackpool airport in the UK many years ago and also to see the one at Wellesbourne do an engine run, since then I've been obsessed with this bird! Well done all at First Flight for this product. Thank you.
Here's my issue: when I first installed the EFB table options for bombs were present but are now missing. I have tried to remove any addons that I added after installation but this doesn't seem to have worked. I tried various liveries in the event the configs were tied to livery selection. I have tried switching from Dx12 to 11. Also tried a complete re-install of the addon (Deleted from content manager in MSFS and re-installed). But I'm now at a bit of a dead end. I've searched the forums and have not found anyone with this issue. The closest I found related to an issue caused by 787 mod which I do not have. Here is what my EFB screen looks like. Thanks for the help guys.
Update: There seems to be an issue with the bomb bay doors. In the ready to start config, When I use the EFB to close the bay doors they only appear to partial close. And the sand timer next to Bomb doors stays visible.
Update 2: I'm wondering if there's a conflict between the EFB Door command at the aircraft. Just a theory.

@noticeman Thank you for the kind words. It's great to see people enjoying the Vulcan!
With regards to the weapons, unfortunately, it is a Microsoft policy that no weapons can be included in any release on the in-game marketplace. This is a policy that all developers have to comply with, so we have to remove all weapons in order for the products to be approved for release.
We keep as many payload options as we are allowed on the EFB, so there are still options in the marketplace version to fit the Cylinder Tanks, Saddle Tanks, and MRR Pods, as well as the vast array of equipment options, but the other weapons such as Blue Steel and Mk13 Bombs will only be included in the product if purchased outside of the marketplace. We are investigating what possibilities we have to provide a patch so PC users can add weapons back into the product, but at this time we cannot provide any timeframe or guarantee that this will be possible.
With regards to the bomb doors, the doors are hydraulically operated, so in normal conditions with the engines running, they can be operated using the NORMAL switch on the bomb door control panel. In the READY FOR START state, the engines are not running and therefore the bomb doors will not have sufficient hydraulic pressure to close. With the engines not running, the bomb doors can be operated using hydraulic pressure supplied by the EHPP by using the EMERGENCY switch on the bomb door control panel.
For further info, the bomb doors are covered on pages 60 and 61 or the operations manual: https://downloads.justflight.com/products/JFF003813/Avro_Vulcan_MSFS_Manual.pdf
