SU 25T not releasing bombs CCIP

[hunne]

so, doing that training mission... don´t like dive bombing, so I switched to the other bombs that are on the thing to do a level bombing... alas, they simply don´t release....
so, switched back to the others... no cigar either

launch authorized etc. - tried bashing space, tried holding space, pushed every button on my stick...
I had them fall in the first try but ever since, they are stuck

what am I missing?

If you are too much out of the course the bomb will not be released.

meaning what exactly? what course? I only have those green gates, which I fly through

Read manual. While CCRP, you have to press and hold the weapon launch button. Do not forget to turn on laser range finder. Once the target is aquired, you have to follow the flight director on the HUD.

Page 52, step 3:

Place the CCRP pipper on the intended target and press and hold the weapon release button on the joystick or the [Space] key on the keyboard. The WCS will initiate the release point calculation, and a diamond symbol will appear on the HUD that represents the designation point. In the upper portion of the HUD, a steering ring will be displayed. Fly the aircraft such that the aircraft symbol "tail" is placed in the center of this ring. The range scale on the left side of the HUD turns into a time-torelease scale that is graduated in seconds. The arrow indicating time-to-release will appear on the scale only 10 seconds before the bombs release. For accurate bombing it is best to minimize changes in bank and yaw. When the timer reaches zero, the bomb(s) will automatically be released and you can release the trigger.

Except I´m using CCIP not CCRP afaik
or does CCIP only work when going down hard a.k.a. dive bomb?
I´m pretty new to all this modern aviation (but currently reading a 200+ pages pdf on that plane at its systems in my mothertongue).
I´ve only done WW2 so far in other sims quite some time ago.

CCIP works when your dive angle is more than 30°

Dive, put pipper on target and HOLD "WEAPON FIRE" Pipper turns to Diamond and notice on left side of HUD the arrow coming down the bar. When that arrow reaches the bottom bomb will releasse and then you release "WEAPON FIRE"
