Refresher Course!

I loaded a Bomber Mission with a Lancaster Aircraft.

How do I put aircraft in "Auto Pilot?"

When flying on route to enemy target I want to move to each one of Turret positions when planes are attacking?

I cannot remember the exact steps.

Thanks

Cycling views/turrets use the F keys. F6 is pilot station. F7 is navigator IIRC? F8 cycles thru turrets? Sorry not at my cfs3 comp at the moment.

Also,
Ctrl+6 = view from close behind when making a bomb or torpedo run.

Question:when using a picture from "Ctrl + ; = Takes pic (pic will be a *.bmp file in the proper CFS3 folder in My Documents folder)"
How does one prevent from having to pictures to show up ?

gosd, if you're having 2 pics show up in My Documents, you are taking 2 pics.

...yes, you accidentally held the screenshot keys down too long.
Also, when going to auto-pilot, you should always 1st trim your aircraft
to fly straight and level "hands off" (if you want to avoid doing somersaults and the like)
That's the way they did it in za old dayz...

Upload the file to a different site like Photobucket, and then when you reference the URL uncheck the Retrieve File for Local Storage option.
