Hi!
The OKPB-1 Bombsight (Russian) has a bubble in its centre, wich indicates whether the aircraft is flying flat and leveled or not. The other bombisghts don't have a similar device.
The real Norden BS had an autopilot wich, when it was engaged, kept the bomber on the right path.
In-game, that autopilot is not modeled. Instead, the Level Stabilizer helps the player with respect to that.
But the LS shouldn't be considered a 'solution' to level a bomber from any situation, but just a
help.
This means the player must be sure that the bomber is flying flat and leveled at the right speed, altitude and heading, before engaging the LS to lock the airctraft on the desired configuration. To achieve this, the player must know the behavior of his bomber at any altitude and must to know how to trim it properly.
