First i'll start by saying great post on how to actually teach someone how to use the bomsight method in a bomber.  I haven't been able to set the salvo from just one and the delay from anything other than .5 sec.  Any one got an answer to that it would be greatly appreciated.

other than bringing up the radio bar and typing a dot command like, ".salvo[space]2" or ".delay[space].05" with out the quotes and "[space]" has always worked for me

Thkx.  When you type that in what color of print should be used or does it matter?  I was typing the salvo change but nothing happend I guess I just need the "." in front of it to get it to work.  Have been getting pretty good at dropping the bombs in the pickle barrel by pressing the secondary trigger on the stick, this should make it easier.

This is a great tutorial.   This cleared up a couple of questions I had.

Great post

muffdvr,
The salvo and delay commands are your basic 'dot commands' which are listed in the AH Help file.

Use one / followed by one . then the command.
The system will give you a reply with your new settings on the salvo and delay commands.

Another useful one is the move command, especially on the large maps. A "/.move 218" will take you to base 218, if your country owns it.

The loss of pictures has really degraded this tutorial and possibly the bbs in general
I wish HTC had the ability to input specific pictures. Here's a case where they are desperately needed.

Some basic pictures would be great, and also help more than words at times.  I just moved sorry about the long wait on reply.  Since my last entries i've gotten really good at bombind runs, at least in the offline.  Online you got to worr about wind and enemy fighters.  I can still hit a ground target at 25k ft, wind makes it a more of a chalange. AH should have a auto drift tracking for the auot pilot on the bomb run.

What kind of picture you looking to post?



You can still add pictures, you just have to host them on your own server then link them.

Can we have "level bombing video" on AH film to see how its done?

Well, the pictures that were originally posted with the tutorial.
Other sites have sprung up with them on it but this was the first and very good.
The other ones weren't to shabby either though.

All the pictures that were originally included in this thread were posted as attachments.  Had they been done by posting on a website and using the IMG tag, they would still be there now - this method has always been available.  However, they were done as attachments, and attachments take up lots of room on the BBS server, so when HTC decided to save room by removing all attachments, the pictures were gone.  The original messages can't even be edited now either, so the only alternative would be for Kweassa to repost his tutorial with pictures hosted on a website, but that would obviously mean a lot of work.

Kweassa, if you do want to repost your tutorial, maybe as a new thread, do you still have your original pictures?  If you don't have available webspace, I don't mind hosting them for you.... let me know if I can be of help.
