Posting on the message boards opens the question to everyone. And Like Jay said, a lot of so called "Mr Know-it-all" come in here saying they do everything right so the game must be wrong. By going through ALL avenues in trouble shooting the problem many times it a mistake made by the "Mr Know-it-all". That is "why" you are getting the questions you are getting. If you had wanted to by pass all of these questions, maybe an email to Skuzzy would have been a better course. Much like someone who knows a lot about their home network knows better than to talk to the "help desk" at their ISP and request to be moved up to Tier 1 support.

Instead of jumping down peoples throat that are trying to help you, maybe you could just say "thanks, but I've done that" and let it drop.

Everybody else has already explained it.

You seem to still want help/feedback so I thought of something just a moment ago.

Perhaps you recall this thread:

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,307251.0.html

And Waffle said it would be fixed. However, I checked both patch 1 and patch 2 change logs and neither have this listed as something that was fixed.

Maybe the problem will be solved as soon as they fix the related issue? (this is a guess on my part)

wrong again krusty, I use the E6B constantly while in the bomb sight for accuracy, thats why I know what I am talking about. I do not use the instruments.

It is not a problem I am having, it is a definite issue with the bombs hitting short on PRECISE drops. This is the only bomber. I am not new to bombing, it is all I have done for 4 years. I use accurate maps with compass overlay to be assured the best heading. I calibrate for 15 seconds or more. I am stable when i drop. I can hit any target in the arena with any bomber. I use low & slow bombers, I use high and fast bombers with extreme accuracy (234 is my favorite). Please dont tell me it is something I am doing. I made a special effort to check the accuracy of the 29's drops on my last run hitting hangers.

There are some small differences in accuracy in planes. I found the B-17 can drop a little short and the B-24 a little long after some testing. If HTC thinks there is a real problem, they'll do something. I haven't found a problem with the B-29 accuracy yet, but I haven't done a thorough test. Sending a film with any bug report is the best way to help HTC.

In the meantime, why not use your organic computer and adjust your drop if there is constant variance?

but on a serious note. if theres any bomber that i think has a calibration issue. its the mossie bomber and using that cookie.

in a single b29. i can calibrate my bombsights and hit a hanger dead on with a n00k.

but with the mossie bomber. it doesnt matter how many times i calibrate or how long or how close to target, i can never seem to drop a cookie straight onto a hange  :(

I had a suggestion for you, asleep, after flying numerous B-29 sorties.
I think I'll keep those observations to myself, in retrospect.

Whatever guys, asleep1 is making a statement here HTC needs to tune in. Now stop annouying him with the "3rd grade comments" or I'll tune something up.

How many damage points did you get asleep, on that last run 84,000?
