I suppose a quick fix to this would be the mission builder adding photos to the briefing... err, can photos be added to the briefing?

Yes. captured image gets into briefing only when the spy plane returned to the base.
P.S.
That is, if the plane was shot down, then the photo is lost.

Sorry what I meant is right now, can mission builder put photos into briefing?

So, just to be clear, what does the R22 mode actually do? Does it simply level the wings at whatever heading you happen to be flying along? Or dos it direct you to a course you set into the course setter?

If the former, does it allow you to make slight heading corrections?

Before now, i've been using the non-R22 course autopilot to try to do level bombing, using corrections in the course setter to shift course onto target. But the course setter is to coarse, and you can't make fine adjustments, meaning you're wobbling bak and forth as you approach the target...

The R22 mode is a three axis autopilot, but its set to 330 to 350 km/h so the plane descends until the speed is reached.
Because of the too low speeds / power of the bombers you'll have to correct for a descent all the time.
Course corrections are made with autopilot right or left, precise enough.

So it works but doesnt work?..... in the ideal world we should be able to use the R22 at any speed?

How do you use it either way?

thats why my plane decends with the R22 mode
thanks ROBTEK
by the way you can trim always with the course and loft your bombs

Auto-pilot course adjust the aircraft using the aileron, R22 uses the rudder - use this when on level bombing run.

Note Robtek's comment about speed. I find if you accelerate to 310-20kmh then apply R22 you can get a reasonable result - less than 1m/s sink rate.

Also take into consideration your loadout - fuel and bombs. Heavier load - more sink rate. Which is a big issue considering under-performance of aircraft (see Robtek's recent comment).

Suggest you also checkout the JU88 Tutorial thread at the ATAG forum.

Above comments (re speed 310-20) for JU88.

what about 111
it has low speed compare to ju-88

But, He111 better glider, than a Ju 88.
