Possible Bomb Sight Bug
« on: July 23, 2018, 12:16:44 PM »
Took a look at the new JU-88 just now. Looks great btw. But on taking it on a hop I hit F6 and wasn't looking in the bomb sight. I was instead looking straight up. If I had the bay doors open, hitting F6 dropped bombs but I was still looking straight up. I'm using TIR and could look pretty much every direction but straight down. Wondered if it was just the 88 so I took a Ki-67 out. Same thing. I hit the esc key and bam--now I'm looking down the sight as I should. If I go back to F1 and hit F6, same thing again looking straight up. Hit esc and back in the sight. Seems like a bug. Full disclosure I hardly fly bombers at all but that isn't how I remember the sequence of operation with the sight.

Not sure about TIR....been in VR full time of late. In VR after F6 you need to look DOWN. Sort of a reverse of the old bombsight function,where F6 put you looking through/down at bombsight but #8 on numpad raised your head to look over the bombsight.
