Title: Manual Bombsight Calibration
Post by: USAF2010 on December 06, 2011, 12:15:06 AM
Simple wish: I wish i could manually input my current speed into the bombsight instead of playing the "calibration guessing game"  :joystick:

Or at least make it a option to select either Manual or auto.

I think the current method is more "realistic" in that the Norden operator would track a point on the ground to determine GS...sort of what we do with the U and Y keys.  The point being it took a few moments to complete, you couldn't just enter a number.

we should be using the actual "manual" method that's in the game, but only in special events, where you acutally DO have to track a point on the ground to get groundspeed.

Actually, if you don't want to wait so long, try the manual calibration while holding down the "Y" key use the joystick to keep the crosshairs targeted on a ground object.  In only 5 sec you get a pretty accurate speed setting.  I have used it for last minute changes.

Simple wish: It's too hard to calibrate the bomb sight. I have no patience when it comes to holding down a button for 3 seconds I just want to plug in the speed I'm flying.  :x

the current calibrations method is easier than breathing....  I wish they would bring back the manual calibration in the main arenas, its way to easy now to drop hangers and carriers with the laser guided sights we have now.
