Altimeter full real.

[mcler002]

I really need to get into the details of all this stuff (considering ive just purchased xplane 10 and looking forward to microsoft flight) get myself a few aviation books, better controls etc.

Anyway at the moment im trying to get the hang of bombing (in the Blenheim) and i now assume that the figures above (Height differences) also play a crucial role in bombing?

Atm i have created a simple practice bomb route via multiplayer (see attached mission) with a blenheim & he111 @ 10000ft (roughly) and another blenheim @ 19000ft (roughly). So far using the calculations given to me from BlackDog (Thread title - Work out TAS from meters? For bombing) i still appear to be bombing short from the target. So my question is?

a) Should i create a mission where i take off from an airbase? (where i can set the correct altitude)

b) Since my target is Le Touquet airfield, would i need to add/ subtract the difference in altitude? would this make a big difference?

Other than that. I hope in the future that the full mission builder could have both FT/KM and MPH/KPH for the different armies rather than just the 'German' unit measurements
