1. I can't find the rocket and divebomb sights - how do I eneble them ??

2. I have read in other posts about swopping to other buffs in the formation to gun - is that possible and how ??

Thanks

ok sparks all info is in the new help file, find a copy in the download section of this web site,

but to answer your question:

the new features in 1.10 need to have keys mapped to them
they are:

air show smoke (only works offline and TA I think)
calibrate bomb site
mark bomb site
jump plane 1
jump plane 2
jump plane 3
jump plane 4

so go to clipboard/setup/ keymapping find the above functions and add your own key map to them.

:-)

by the way there is'nt a fourth plane in bomber formations.

But what about the new dive bomb sight ???
I loaded it in my P-38 and it does nothing...
I was assuming it was going to be a floating sight that would rise up on the HUD for sighting rockets and bombs... ( like the old red X sight in AW.  I also read that it was only going to be available in the TA and offline... but it does'nt work off line... It is just a generic gunsight like many I have downloaded from players websites...

Is it a bug or is it just another fixed sight ?

I am not sure BOOT buddy but I think that the dive sights only work in the offline mode...I will give it a shot and then repost here.....also airshow mode smoke DOES work but only when HITECH enables it in the arena.  IT is pretty damn cool

Thanks Blank - had downloaded and read the help file but managed to miss that bit - DOH - had remapped the calibration keys but not the jump plane ones - thanks for the pointer.

Still can't find the training sights - are they in the "gunsights" list in setup ?? - if so I can't find them.

[guttboy]

Gents,
I logged on and could not for the life of me find the sights and I dont know of anyone who has...perhaps a call to HITECH might help?

[bombguy]

lol.
they new sight works for air to air. air to ground. as in divebombing AND level bombing. it's a little green arrow that goes (for bombing) exactly where ur bombs would land. and if u use the tab thing and highlight someone. it will show u were to shoot for deflection shots. i think it even calculates how the bullet's drop. works for rockets too.

What bombguy said!

Go to the Training Arena, take off in a bomber, jump to ext view. You'll see a green X below your plane on the ground. Thats exactly where a bomb dropped from your plane will hit.

Use it to calibrate with.

BTW in my experience, if you calibrate hold it longer, like 5 seconds. and you'll get much closer.

Color me stupid, but.....

Dang if I can find out how to use the training site anywhere on the HTC info pages.

HiTech says that the game has one, but does not explain its use or how to enable it.

Can someone post up this info please?

Thanks!

Hey,

To enable the dive bomb site and lead calculator site offline you must hit esc. click setup, then arena then flightmodeflags.  Double click on fightmodeflags and you will have a list of check boxes for each of these things.

Whew...

Thanks Zaphod...
I was beginning to think maybe I just dreamt about the bomb / rocket sight...

LOL

Zaphod whenever i try checking any of those boxes, it tells me i don't have cm privs... any way to fix that? (settings are not 'locked')
