Leval Bombing

[CH_RoadDogg]

Default loadout has no bombs and custum loadout dosn't work so it makes it rather hard to bomb.

Doors don't open on the Ju88 or the Br20 with the open door command.

Jettison opens the doors on the Ju88 but then you cant close them dosn't seem to work on the other bombers.

F1 loosen straps to look in bomb sight this needs to be changed to gunsight/bombsight view very confusing and took a while to figure that out.

Bombers need more testing they look like they can be fun to use if you could acually get the loadout fixed.

This was explained to me on a different thread about FMB:

Hope this helps

Have not tried Horizontal Stabilizer.

From pilot I put it in auto pilot (A) switch to bomber. (C)
Look in bombsight (F1)
Adjust bombsight
Open doors
Arm bombs
Go to outside view look into Bombay and its empty. (Using default load out)
Try to drop or jettison but nothing happens because there are no bombs.

There is a mission with custom load out and I can go through these presses and see bombs in the Bombay but can’t get them to drop one bomb actually falls out not long after the doors are open on its own.

I know how to use the load out system but it doesn’t work or save your settings and I'm using single missions to test it.

if you build a misison in FMB, and save there a bombloadout, the loadout is saved anduseablke in thw whole game. the Aircraft menu, at least for me, i did nit get the sence behing it so far...
But dont forgett to give this bombload the planes name too, because ,as example, a Ju88 loadout of 4 SC250 and 28 SC50 appears for all planes...... this game is such a rubbish, its unbelivable.

A little OT: Does the game support skip bombing? Can someone try to sink a cargo ship with skip bombing.

Can't try it myself as well, it is unplayable on my PC.

Skip bombing does work, I've done it succesfully with but a BR.20 and Bf 110C-7

WTF I can drop bombs from pilot position but not bombadier position.

Can anyone else confirm this bug or is intended to be this way?

According to how it was in 1946, you can't bomb with autopilot engaged - you have to use the level stabilizer.
My guess would be that, as soon as you engage the autopilot, it jettisons the bombs right away as it corrects the course and/or altitude. Or it drops them somehow automatically, without pilot input.

[CH_RoadDogg]

This was doing it without auto pilot.
Trying to figure it out there are no instuctions.
Finally got bombs to drop manually but it was from pilot position.
They will not drop from bombadier position for me.
Has anyone been able to or know how to drop bombs using the bombadier?
It would be nice to bomb using the bombsight.
