bombsights?

Thanks BK, that sight makes it pretty easy. Moving ships are not impossible to hit though still very hard. That one was sitting still.

As for the angles to use. No it doesn't matter where you start at. It depends on what altitude I'm at as far as what angle I start at. The higher up the steeper the angle I start at. In the sequence above I started at 40*, I was at 10,000'. Any lower angle and I couldn't see the single ship (too small, old eyes...LOL). Now with faster A/C and when lower down you have to use a lesser angle setting to get the proper lead. Start at 20* and drop at 40* (250Knts @ 5000' running flat out in a B-25). It only matters what setting you're on when you drop to ensure both sets of crosshairs are in the field of view. The steeper angles tend to be the most accurate though.

If you need help getting this sight into a particular panel let me know.

One tip on this sight. If you install it in an A/C and you find your bombs are ALWAYS falling short or long you can adjust the view angles in the panel.cfg to calibrate it to any particular aircraft/panel sets POV.
 
Thanks and OUTSTANDING! I will give that bomb sight another look when my computer is back up and running (hopefully SOON)!

Cheers

BD ... I'd love to see that package. Do you want to post it ...or should I send you a PM?

I'll see if I can figure out where the 155 mph sight came from and work up a package with installation and operational instructions.

...may take a while...

(it will be good to do, ...so I don't forget between bomber TDY's, ...had it posted but...)

P.S. If ya want something quick and dirty, ...that could be done quicker, ...say, ...one A/C to start...

My opinion, for what's it's worth, (after all everybody has one) is QUALITY is what counts. We are all flying the best sim there is and addons like this is going to keep it that way. One of the reasons I fly so many fighter missionsis is because I wasn't even aware that we had a bombsight like this one. So, do it right, we can wait. I would like one that could be added to the Nell. By the way, thanks for the offer. :d

Every A/C has specific aircraft.cfg, panel.cfg, and .bmps, ...as well as general keyboard setup.

Same high quality ACM product, ...non-OEM...w/o the Doc's...

(and have not even LOADED the "Nell" yet, ...so no BS yet either...)
