I have a Saitek ST330 Rumble Stick.

Although Weapons 1 - 4 are all allocated to the joystick controls 1-4, I have never been able to drop ordnance from the centre line of a plane say (FW190, Beaufighter). This seems to be weapon 4. Button 3 drops/fires the wing-mounted ordnance. However, when flying a bomber - say B-29, joystick button 4 activates bomb dropping, but only for the forward bomb bay. For the B-29, button 3 does nothing.

This has become more frustrating with the Jet War portion of the wonderful CUP. I can only fire a fraction of the Phantom's armaments.

A secondary point is that there are a huge number of controls available, but only a fraction are mapped to keyboard controls. Why is this, and what do most players do about it?

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thank you.

In many aircrafts having Bombs/Rockets loadouts, they are used from outside ones on version 4.12.2m and before.
After you dropped all the bombs under wings, next time center line bombs will be dropped.

I heard that next version 4.13m will have a new function to choose dropping which ordnance.

However, when flying a bomber - say B-29, joystick button 4 activates bomb dropping, but only for the forward bomb bay. For the B-29, button 3 does nothing.

Do you open Bomb bay doors with pushing its own key before dropping bombs?

CUP still has some bugs.
They may come from them.

You have to "map" the keys you like in "Control" menu.
Click the right column of the function name and push ST330's button you want to assign.
When you succeed to assign a new button for that function, the name of the button will be shown in that right column.

1= machine gun
2= cannon
3= rockets
4= bombs

a B-29 does not carry rockets so...
some more innovative planes (US nay B-25--> PBJ's) drop the torpedo by using the rocket button
