Nice research going on here guys, well done and thanks.
I'm not sure about the German aircraft but I'm pretty sure the alignment on the bomb run in British aircraft was always achieved by a conversation between bomb aimer and pilot.....left left, left left, steady....bombs gone etc.
Would be great to see that modelled in the sim....
You align roughly with the target then move to the bomb aimers position.
The AI takes over the controls and continues to fly straight and level on your current heading.
You setup the bomb sight then use simple "left" and "right" keys to give instructions to the AI pilot which you actually hear being spoken. i.e. left, left instruction would be 2 presses of the "left" key.
The AI pilot makes slight course adjustments in response to your commands while remaining straight and level thus allowing you to concentrate on targetting and not having to worry about trimming etc.
How does that sound?
