bombing sight direction
« on: July 26, 2002, 09:26:26 AM »
Maybe I was just dreaming.  I was bombing in a formation.  I was jumped by a couple of p51s. I was unable to drop so I made a u turn. When I achieved same alt and speed I thought I could drop with old calibration. Go to bomb sight.  Uh oh!  I'm traveling in reverse.  It looked a little strange, or maybe I'm just not awake yet.   I've attempted to attach film. In the film I don't get the same bombsight view.  dunno  Cheers  bakerm

The bomb calibration seems to take speed, wind, and vector into account.  When you change the bombers vector and go back into the bombsight, it is still calibrated for the old vector.

Just turn on and off calibration, exit and re-enter the bombsight and it seems to reset everything.
