Title: Bombsight Help please
Post by: Mackar on September 18, 2021, 07:19:19 AM: Newbie here. I have my bomber at altitude with good speed and set on auto level, but when I jump into the Nordern the AC begins losing altitude. How do I keep it level when calibrating etc?

Make sure it is the correct auto pilot also. AcesHigh has 3 types; level, angle and speed.

go to options/controllers/map controller 1 click on the center check box and turn "auto mode select" off and it will maintain mode 1 or...

on the same page use the drop down "mode" box to select mode 2 (vehicles/gunners) then click the red button to the left that says "copy mode one" or....

set all of your controller buttons and switches for mode 2 manually so that you have a unique setup while in vehicles and gunner positions.

Good luck

Post by: The Fugitive on September 18, 2021, 06:07:48 PM: yes, in the 2nd dropdown box select mode 2 then click the red button in the top left that says "copy mode 1" and that will copy all your settings to mode 2.
