Always wide right when level bombing
« on: October 26, 2009, 06:13:17 AM »
Hello,

Why is it in every arena except training I am always wide to the right when level bombing? Even offline. In the TA I can smash hangars from 12k. I do F6 to see out of the bomb sight I press u then hold the y key for 10-12 seconds with the doors closed but my eggs always fall wide right. Most times they fall harmlessly completely outside the base unless I dive bomb them. This is with every US bomber and the JU88.

wgmount I have a squad mate who just mentioned the exact same problem.

I'd love to get the 2 of you together some night so I can see if I can fix this.

Midwar perhaps?

does head position apply in F6 mode?

try going to F6 mode, hit "Home" then F10 to reset and save it. if the view changes when u hit "Home", problem solved :)

I figured out my problem. during calibration of the sight you hit u to calibrate then hold y then hit u again. I wasn't doing the third step. I can hit in the general area of the base now just have to work on alignment with nice stuff to smash.

You know I have noticed that when first calib. The was moving to the
right in reference to ground.  You would see the crossairs moving off
to the right of the bombers shadow.  When I recalibrated it was moving
in a straight line reference to the ground and the bombers shadows.   

I usually recalibrated several times on a run anyways.  Are you only
calib once ?  Maybe a bug ?

Nope...no bug

UYU....

1st U=Enter Calibration Mode

      Y=Calibrate

2nd U=Exit Calibration Mode


Then drop bombs.

...just a thought

...and keep off the controls while calibrating and/or bombing.   :D

May I also suggest you open your doors before calibrating. This will allow your bomber time to adjust speed with doors open.

The only time I've really had a problem like this was when I used keyboard rudder to adjust my alignment in autopilot. The drones always do weird things instead of just nudging over. I know the OP said his issue was resolved but added this in case someone else has this particular problem.
