Level off and open doors. Let speed level off. Hit U then bring up clip pad. I always zoom the map in all the way so I know I set the alt right. Then shift click the target. Hold Y while keeping the cross on a set piont (tree, barn cough sheep!) I hold it down for maybe 10-15 secs then click U and bomb.

Helpful hint:

Open your E6B, look at your true air speed.

If E6B True Speed = Calibrated Speed then bombs will be on target.

being on target is a timing thing on my part. im only worried about the aspect of bombing where the travel direction of the site itself is wrong from the actual path of the plane. thank you just the same for all the information. every little bit helps and that tidbit certainly does, indy!
