Title: Norden Refinement..C'mon HT, show the Buffs some luuuuv!
Post by: muckmaw on July 17, 2003, 06:55:03 PM

One thing we do need in the Norden bombsight is an airspeed indicator.

A digital readout with our current speed and the speed the bombsight is calibrated to, exactly like we have for altitude now.

(Blue Mako's Idea...thanks)

C'mon HT, how many lines of code could this possibly take?

How many bottles of scotch will it cost me?

While we're on the subject, how many bottles of scotch to make you give up aerobatic flying and go live in a bunker somewhere?:D

I tend to agree for more accuracy, but ya know.... (pregnant pause for the secret)....
  listed right there is the currrnet alt, and  drop altitude that you calibrated at.

  If those match you can bet you're within 4 mph of calibrate alt and it works, I've veered off speed/alt from calibration and went back to match it for drop and hit as usual on drop.

  Salvo 2, delay .05 of course, gas dead, gas dead, ammo dead

You mean Boozer.... you actually have to fly the plane at a specific altitude and speed... instead of just jerking the stick around and dropping laser guided bombs?

Welll sheesh... that means I need to development some flying talent.


And we know that aint going to happen.
