MA Automatic
edit: if you mean the current FSO series "Burma Backwater"

Correct thank you
-
what is style of calibration???
-
bombsight calibration...instead of manual calibration of the bombsight, this fso is using the easy mode main arena calibration method.
-
can you explain the diff calibration methods?? in LW I calibrate then use E6b to adjust my airspeed to calibrated speed,when I am about to drop i goto calibrate screen and back to bomb drop to get my alt correct,if speeds are correct i can hit what I am aiming at from any alt

MA standard is as you explain. You hit U to uncage the sight, then hold Y for a few seconds to set the speed. Compare calibrated speed to ground speed and if they match, you're set.
Manual mode, typically used in FSO and AvA needs a couple of extra steps. After U to uncage the site, you need to bring up the map and hold the left-shift key and then click the target on the map to set the target's altitude. Then while holding the Y key, you use your joystick to keep the bombsite crosshairs steady on a ground feature to set your ground speed. If all goes well, your E6B ground speed will match your calibrated speed. If not, repeat until close and tweak your speed with throttle and/or rpm to get a match.

One last important item on manual mode:
You must be on final track to target when you calibrate. It is very directional. Not very realistic but it's a feature!

This will help Bern.
