Bombing
« on: March 16, 2005, 04:40:38 PM »
Hey PPL

When calibrating for a Bombing run I am not able to set target alt on the clipboard.

I can click on the map all i like and nothing happens.

So far this has not appeared to have affected my drops ( I am getting quite good at it I think, got two FH in one drop the other night with a flight of 17's :aok )

Anyway I have also noticed that the bomb sight adjusts as I fly over hills ect, has the need to set the target alt been removed or am I just lucky

Alts automatic when your doing the calibration, its no longer needed to click on the target.

Mussie, all you need to do now is hold the Y key down; no need to hold the crosshair over a point either.  The main thing is to match your calibration speed with your speed on the E6B as closely as possible for a successful drop.  ;)

Thanks all

To be honest I feel a bit let down that I dont need to calibrate my speed.

It adds a challenge to bombing

The last thing I want is click and drop situation

Thanks againg though
