Could you elaborate as to why?

[Wiley]

The first thing that springs to mind for me is, I fly buffs very infrequently, and when I do, it's generally in FSO.  About half the time FSO requires manual calibration.  I much prefer to run a buff run or two in the MA for fun and to practice, than to have to go to the TA and specifically practice.

Just MHO that it would be useful. +1

you want to make bombing console gamey?    what would the option besides manual be, automatic?

"automatic" is what we already have. He's asking for the manual calibration to be available in the MA if the player wants it.

[gyrene81]

but he said specifically "bombing" nothing about "calibration...

he's talking about the calibration.

BINGO, plus I just flat out enjoy the challenge of it.

Have you bombed in the MA  its as gamy as can be. Hold x bbutton for 2+ seconds to  calibrate the Y button to lock. Im sorry if I wasn't specific enough  Gyrene yes I meant for calibration be manual. sorry for any confusion

  sorry man, had to give you a ration because you didn't mention anything about calibrating. 
ya i've tried bombing in the main arenas and i sucked at it, even with noob calibration mode. what i found interesting was manual calibration is more accurate, at least to me it was.

Don't know why this isn't an option already.

No worries I deserved the ration you gave for not putting my thought out in a cohesive and clear manner.
Pfft with manual I'm not sure I saw MY bombs if they were mine in FSO then some farmer is either po'd I destroyed his crop or happy I tilled his field. It was fun tho having to start calibration fight someone off and restart the process in a crunch pretty challenging, and showed me that I really need to get the process down.

[kvuo75]

manual calibration I like cuz it's quicker.

+1  It is more fun to practice in the MAs anyway.

+1  I've always missed the old way since it was changed..
