I did lengthy tests and came up with medium-to-high settings for my, at best, medium rig, to ensure that everything runs smoothly while having it look as good as possible.
And I had never problems with identifying targets from altitude, except when the targets themselves are very small - for ex. I never figured out where exactly those ammo dumps/storage areas were on that one ATAG objective.
Well, that's what I thing Blackdog is up to: Handing the strategic, bigger objectives to the level bombers while leaving the small ones to tactical bombardment.

redroach do you know what options affect the ground target visibility? i know that land detail render far away ground textures in more detail and it help navigation but have no clue about how th other options affects ground target, S!

.

Here about it I wrote to developers about need of implementation for game of a photo reconnaissance.

Does the building pop-up introduced this patch also effect the bombsight? I haven't played bombers yet since the patch, but notice the buildings do what the trees did last patch.

Someone please explain the numbers on the Y axis (where u can change the arrow) and the X axis which you cant control?

Need help!

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.

Yea ill shall check out mission 4 today later on!!! Thanks Kaiser and Marmusman.

Just to see if anyone can explain:
How do you work out the bombing angle :S

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

I understand you correctly,
The exact adjustment taking into account the flow of wind?
