You have to input the SPEED,HEIGHT and SLIP as you approach the target,there is no automation,you have to do this,and you need to make these three adjustments right up to the point of dropping your ordnance(bombs if you will).Most of the time on the run in to the target you will only need to input the 'SPEED' and 'ALTITUDE' as hopefully you will be flying staight and level,or you will have a pilot who will be keeping it so.

There is a minimum altitude ceiling of 3000ft and a maximum altitude ceiling of around 16000ft to get this bombsight to work correctly,so you have to work within these altitudes to be accurate.Also just as a tip remember to switch to 'salvo' to release all of your payload,the default distribution is set on 'single',we want Jerry to appreciate all of our gifts!!

It is helps to pal up with a friendly pilot online to really appreciate the bombsight at it's best IMO.You will make mistakes,but boy when you get it right there is nothing more satisfying..........so practice hopefully makes perfect,happy bombing.
