The test maps from earlier in this thread >>> http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=40740 I used are showing @ -5' temp at @ 4000m
This still calculates from the tables as I have been using for years.
270kph ias
330kph tas
4000m alt
OAT -5'C
So somethings making them drop long if all the calculations are correct...........What inputs are the AI using for their bombing routines, as they don't seem to have a problem ?

Hi KG26.
After reading your last post, I've conducted a test for each of both maps mentioned in that treath: Crimea and Moscow1 (winter).
I've done them with a B-25J because this aircraft is equipped with all the relevant guages for these tests: OAT, IAS/TAS, and Altimeter.
The payload were 2 x 1000 lbs bombs, being the targets:
-
Crimea: a ring target placed in the air base of Simferopol (altitude = 800 ft =243 m ASL).
Moscow: the same type of target at the same altitude ASL, placed in the air base near to Vyazma.
The following data were obtained from the gauges readings (none was calculated, except the speeds in km/h):
CRIMEA:
- Wind speed = 0
-
OAT at GL: 25 ºC
- Altitude during final approach to target: 13050 ft = 3970 m
-
OAT at level bombing: 0ºC (should be -1 ºC)
- IAS = 160 mph = 258 km/h
-
TAS = 200 mph = 323 km/h
MOSCOW WINTER:
- Wind speed = 0
-
OAT at GL: -17 ºC
- Altitude during final approach to target: 13615 ft = 4150 m
-
OAT at level bombing: -40ºC (should be -44 ºC)
- IAS = 160 mph = 258 km/h
-
TAS = 186 mph = 300 km/h
Comparing this readings with the IAS/TAS charts, the data of the Crimea map are quite similar to them. The reason: the OAT at that altitude presents an irrelevant difference (-1 ºC).
But the outcomes obtained in the Moscow Winter map are too different when they are compared with the charts, due to the OAT differences as at GL as well as at flight altitude, like it is expected IRL.
I've engaged the Autopilot to have complete freedom for to read the gauges inflight, and because I was interested to see how the AI did do it.
May be an average AI bombardier is a bit idiot...the point is that it missed its targets in both maps, with the bombs falling too short and too far.
Anyway, I think the AI uses the gauges readings as inputs for the bombsite.
I have screenshots of the gauges in both missions. Tomorrow I'll try to upload them, and also I shall perform several flights in both maps to find out what data are the best to adjust the bombsite.
We will see the results... I hope.
