I am sure there is a thread somewhere, but I will ask again.There are several out there, Austin, Whitley, Norton by Scott Flugum, etc. Some seem to use a different "F" key to activate. There is also a cfs2.bmp bombsite in several A/C panels, i.e. Blenheim Mk1 & 4,-1 by Thicko and the KI-48 Lilly by Kirk Zhang. They are activated by the panel switch. There are no instructions on how to use. The Norton and Austin have specific instructions. Any help here would be appreciated. Maybe I missed something in the installs readme of the A/C.
 
Mosquito bombsight is simple. It must be used al full screen. Before you change to it set Auto Pilot. When you change to it you should be looking at the ground (if not click down on the angle nob). After bomb drop click on the area above the AP switch to go back to the panel.

I guess I am totally stupid. Someone PLEASE give me step by step. If I find the "Mosquito.gau" symbol, I install it in the Gauges" main folder, place the panel.cfg "window" (01 0r 02 ?? ) into the appropriate bomber A/C panel.cfg. in sequence. What happens to the window that the bomb window replaces? Is there a .bmp that should go with it as well that goes in the panel.cfg?
 
The hashtags (#) in Allen's post means to copy it into the panel.cfg & number it as the next number in the WINDOW sequence. For example, if the last WINDOW is 03, change the ## to 04.

I assume there's a panel bitmap that goes with it, but don't know for sure.
 
In an earlier thread last year, The B24 Guy stated the window needed to be #2 in Thicko's Blenheim MK1 panel. cfg. Maybe he was speaking of the stock panel.cfg and not Morton's. I will have to go back and look. I am probably making something simple, complicated.
I will tinker and see if D*** B*** can get it!:dizzy:
Thanks
 
Ok, got the mosquito sight installed on a Blenheim MK 1 and MK 4 in Skylane's Malaya Bomber missions if I can figure out how to use them. Can this same sight be installed on the Glenn Martin 139?
 
OK Allen, here is the Glenn Martin 139 panel.cfg: What else do I do beside placing the Mosquito window in and where does the mosquito window go? Does more editing need to be done with the "Windows titles"? I tried placing the mosquito cfg after the window 01 and named it 02, but no show!

Add Window02=Bombsite to the [Window Titles].

Than below [Window01] section add

[Window02]

size_mm=640,480
position=0
visible=0
ident=RADIO_STACK_PANEL
\\ident=Bomb_Sight

Thanks!
Do I replace any panel that might be in window 02 ( throttle,aux, starter, engine controls, etc.) with the mosquito panel and eliminate that particular panel cfg. in whatever bomber I am installing the mosquito bombsight?
 
Just use the next available number in the [Window Titles] section than match it to the [Window##] that has the Mosquito bombsite gauges.
