well, it's tough to do,
but, i have to admit
i've made a mistake.
yes, folks...it's true.
in my defense,
it's been a very long time
since i actually watched
a bomb fall all the way
to impact with the ground.
all kidding aside, keying bomb view
does not put you on or in the bomb
as i inferred in the post above.
what you will really see is the bomb
from what would be described as
spot or chase view.
my apologies for the misinformation.
now, about the gnats ass bombing gauge.
i've tested it today and have proven to myself
that, yes indeed, it is extremely accurate.
especially, when used in conjunction
with the bomb trainer entry added to the aircraft.cfg
first, the bomb trainer puts a multi colored X
on the ground (or water) under the aircraft.
and then, adds a red bulls eye where the released bomb
will impact the ground.
when a switch is toggled on the ga bomb sight,
the view automatically looks down at the multi colored X.
your job is to align the flight path of the aircraft,
so the X marks the spot, at which point,
you release the bomb...no small task,
but, with practice, one can become
a quite deadly cfs bomb aimer.
of course, it's another story altogether,
when fighters are buzzing about
trying to shoot you down
and flak is exploding all around.
now, for my minor dilemma.
as i may have stated before,
i have many useful gauges,
but, most are not of the period.
many are digital readouts
and some are also mousable.
my question to you is,
do you want a bomb aimer panel
with these "updated" gauges,
which make the bomb run easier,
or, do you want a panel with "period" gauges,
which are few and far between?
and frankly, make an accurate bomb run
next to impossible?
or, should i say, the heck with it,
and do what i damn well please.
