The target and line are aligned and showing perfectly. I even tried using the target change button. In the sim environment, no matter what I do, it won’t release the bomb. I’m experiencing this issue regardless of the map. I’ll upload a video as soon as possible. Could there be a problem with my key bindings?

Its possible, but the controls shouldnt differ from ARB which you said works fine.
A video of you on a bombing run would be much appreciated.

Out of curiosity, is it having the same issue in a test match set to SIM, or just in real SIM matches?

I have same issue in test and real SIM matches. CCRP only work in Arcade and Realistic mode

I think its a keybind issue, it would say “bomb release permission” when you begin to press and hold on approach to the drop point, but in neither of your runs (0:50 & 2:00) did that appear.
I would advise setting a keybind for “fire secondary weapon”. This will allow you to remain in weapon selection and utelise ripple quantity which you did select.
Then, when you are aligned to the target, press & hold that keybind. This should give you a “bomb release permission” popup at the bottom of the screen.

It looks like you have “weapon selection” turned on. I’m not sure if that always blocks CCRP drop, but I have my “Drop bomb series” keybind set to the same key as I do to “exit selected weapon mode”. (Because it won’t let me use CCRP without clearing weapon selection mode.)
@Morvran do you know if it’s possible to use Drop bomb series (and then CCRP) without turning off weapon selection mode?
Edit:
Ah there it is.

It is not, they made it hard locked, and it will tell you that bomb series doesnt work when in weapon selection via a popup at the bottom of the screen.
CCRP does work in weapon selection, it just needs the right keybind, utelising the “fire secondary weapon” keybind works for this and I select bomb amount via ripple quantity, it is my usual method unless I specifically want to use a bomb series mode like “all” then I’ll toggle weapon selection off and bomb series is set to the same keybind I have “fire secondary weapon” bound too

Ahhhh neato, I did not know about that secondary way to use CCRP, thanks for the explanation!

I set a keybind for secondary weapons but not say bomb release permission message
So, you have weapon selection enabled
You fly direct at the target
you press and hold that keybind (space)
and nothing comes up?
hmmmm…
unfortunately yes :(
Can you try a loadout with MK83 (1000lb bombs) instead of the Mk79 napalm, just to see if its a napalm issue
I tried but not working. When off CCRP, bomb released
Dusting off my HOTAS and jumping into the F-4S test flgith and see if I can get it too work. 1 min
OH, it’s not working for me in Sim in test match o.O
F-4S, 3x Napalm, set to weapon selection, set ripple to drop 2, nothing happens. I am 99.99% sure I was lined up perfectly with CCRP line too.
Works perfectly in Arcade test match though.
Nor me it seems

Okay, setting a target point via “activate target point” and pointing my nose at the ground. CCRP works. Though bomb release permission doesnt show
Setting a target point via the map, doesnt…
Let me do some more testing
Just tested in F-105D Sim test drive, works perfectly with napalm (diff napalms, that one doesn’t have the 79’s).
Even though it has the rudimentary indicator for dropping CCRP in cockpit (changed sight to “Sight mode: Bombs (auto)”)
I tried the F-4S setting the point from cockpit, didn’t work for me. F-105 did work from map.
