Sorry for bad English.
If I understand correctly, you write about the demolition of the lateral plane, and how to calculate the X-axis in the crosshairs "Lofte"

may be it will help you: http://kg55.mybb2.ru/viewtopic.php?p=1930#1930

Do you mean the triangle indicators?

The Y-axis (upper left side) is the angle of your bombsite.
The X-axis (lower, right side) does not function.

This bombsite is the same system used in IL-2:1946.....there are many great resources for IL-2:1946 to explain the basic system of the site. I suggest searching under "Level Bombing" at Mission4Today.com. At least it is a start.

Even if Loft may sound familiar to our native english speakers, the Lotfernrohr doesnt have anything to do with a loft..

You're damn right! I always wondered what a "Lofte" is...
It's LotFe (with or without the caps)!

As for the other things: Yeah, a photo recon system would be awesome! This would be, as a not-that-skilled dogfighter, my second priority, after bombing!

And sorry, I don't know the specific options for "best" ground visibility, nor do I even know if my settings are "best" in that department. I just tested and went after a good-looking, non-stuttering game. But I'll edit my overall settings in here when I'm online the next time.

Sounds quite good to me, but I, as a fighter pilot, would like to ask for your opinion about that visibilty or better say draw distances. Is it okay? I mean: 4k is not a real big height for level bombing, or is it? I remember, that we bombed from 7k to 9k in il2. So, how is vdrawing distance compared to il2 1946? 4 km is not enough on a pc sim to really simulate the visibility distance of real life. The game should always draw several kilometers more than in real life to have nearly the same viewing abilities as in real life.

4km is not enough, or am I wrong. I remember that discussion of some good pilots years ago with il2 1946. We need about at least 10 to 15 km to simulate, what eyes can see (mostly peripher or instinctively ) in a real plane as monitors are not giving u the same as in real life.

Just ask for opinions and answers. Levelbombin at a sunny day on 4 or 5 km sounds strange and very dangerous to me as this is in the normal height range of fighter pilots.

+1


Regarding recon, what we do in our squad is to send some 109 to recon the target and bring back photos. We takes it seriously and if the recon gets downed, we do not look at the photos
