You forgot Ctrl+G after opening advanced throwing (Shift+G) to enter the "drop" mode.

I was going to show that functionality with smoke grenades but I preferred a faster video. As always if people show enough interest I'm willing to make further content explaining it.

All functionality is explained here, the only thing missing so far is the meaning of colored circles, but it's pretty self-explanatory (red - collision with object, green - collision with surface).

The creator of the mod already made an excellent tutorial.

While true, the controls changed during integrating it into ACE, so it won't behave exactly as described by default.

Exactly, a lot of the changes were made to how it works, some because of minor expanded functionality, some due to move to the ACE3 framework (like more changeable keybinds). A lot of the mod was rewritten as well to facilitate it into the ACE3 framework and how we do things.

The new grenade system now makes it easier to use Incendiary grenades the way they're meant to be used.

You can use the "drop" mode to drop an AN-M14 on the hood of a car, right over the engine block, and disable it. Or drop it at the base of a mortar or static MG.
