I wish that have been a view that follows the bomb down to the target when you are bombing. :salute

You can watch your bombs all the way to target by doing the following:

1. AFTER you drop your bombs hit the "U" key to enter calibration mode.

2. Use your joystick and zoom keys to find and hold sight of the bombs.

3. After the bombs strike the target, hit the "U" key to exit calibration mode.

The down side of this method is that if you are going to drop more bombs, you will have to recalibrate.

Just to be clear, you realize that bails you out of your plane?

This would be really cool!

What you could do is record your flight (Alt + R), and then use the view controls in the film viewer to follow your bomb down - not perfect, but it works!

just press f3 then press and hold 5 and 0 ( i think) on your keypad which is your down and rear views  just dont drop them from 20k or just get on the rear gunner or ball turret and zoom in.

thats what I was figuring, but maybe a view "bomb view" in the film viewer?

IIRC Falcon 4.0 had it in their film viewer, where you could watch a view of any bomb or missile, from launch all the way to target. it was interesting, I guess.. enough that I remember it.... 

but this seems like quite a big task.. and if htc has a task, it's should be workin on the game itself, not vaguely interesting film viewer views.. (imo of course)..

Lock On: Modern Air Combat has this feature, too. A lot of fun to watch an AGM strike a moving target.

How? They aren't laser guided (they kind of are with no wind), you can't change their path once they fall.
