What is the best speed for max climb rate? I alt x and set speed to 150. Seems to be somewhere around the 140-150 mark, anyone know the exact speed?
What is the best fuel load when bombing nearby fields??
Anyone have a work around figured out for the plane following the joystick when in the Ball Turret?
What is Laura Crofts' phone number (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hiya fellow Texican :-),
I generaly use 135 for max climb in shortest distance, I use 140 to get to 20k as fast as possible and I use 145 if it is a long trip.
Best fuel load for short runs is 25%
My plane doesn't follow the joystick when in ball turret, or are you talking about on the map? If there you can't do anything about it.
Last I saw of Laura Crofts' phone # was 555-5555.... ( not really hehe )
I will give you my email addy and you can contact me for some one on one help in the trainig arena if you like. I love buffs so if I can help in any way just let me know.
Email is lmluper@ev1.net

When in gunner positions, rudder inputs can be used to make the bomber turn.
So the problem about your bomber turning with your turret may be because you have a rudder in your stick and accidently uses it when turning the turret?

In a b-17, 135 seems to give the best climb rate. In a b-26 however, I use a series of zoom climbs. Go level and accelerate to just over 200 IAS, then kick the auto-pilot speed and zoom climb up about 800 to 1000 ft. then level for speed. Repeat as necessary. also, I've found that chopping throttle and setting the auto-speed for 175 IAS is just the thing for decending to final when comming home.
About the ball-turret control moving the plane, on mine, rudder input banks the plane when in gunner positions.
