AR234 Bombsite Bug?
« on: April 05, 2005, 08:43:20 PM »
:confused:

Was level bombing (or trying to) in an AR234.  Calibrating the bombsite went as normal, and then I hit U to leave calibration mode.  Instead of getting crosshairs at SOME point on the ground, I'm getting the bombsite crosshairs on my forward horizon.  

I'm thinking this has to be a bug of some kind.  I've done plenty of bombing in B-24s etc. and never seen anything like this.  I was going fast (400 kts) at 8,500 alt.  

AR234 is expensive enough that the bombsite should work! :rofl

Heres' dropping on ya later,

You have to cycle secondary weapon (Backspace key). Secondary weapon is still set to RATO's. You'll see next time... :)

does this essentially mean you could accurately drop your ratos on a target? :p

Ahhh... so thats it.  Thanks.  I accidentally dumped my bombload once, so I had left it sent on RATO until I got close to target.

Now I know better ;)
