Has anyone else noticed this...
I've noticed that when calibrating if I move the sight forward a bit and hold a spot on the terrain and hold down my cal-key (y) until the spot on the terrain passes under me (shadow(s) of my plane(s) go buy) then let go of y (roughly 4-6 seconds) I get better results that are verified by the divebomb sight in offline/TA mode.
It seems that picking a spot and calibrating as it goes under the aircraft produces better results. I've tried holding for longer periods of time but only have had success with the aformentioned method.

I tried marking in front and behind, the only thing that I found to give me consistently good calibrations is to hold the mark key for a full minute.

One problem Ive encountered is the differing target altitude values. Thats is to say, with each click of the mouse pointer directly over a field icon (without moving the pointer) I frequently get different altitude values.
Although Ive had great luck bombing generally, last night I was set up on a field with 3 B17s at 23k and calibrated excellently, to the best of my knowledge, but the damned sticks landed a good 1000 yrds past the targets.......
