As for it being a good experience....
This is by far the most beautifully renderred flight sim ive ever flown. I know there's a few bugs and it does have a very steep learning curve, but so far ive spent over 400 hours flying it and thats 50 bucks well spent. Excellant fun and touring the countryside at dawn has never been better. Last edited by Megahurt; 08-10-2012 at 09:12 AM. |

Sounds good, I am learning the Blenheim at the moment which I feel has an easier bombsight system.
To help with the IAS to TAS conversion I found this app for android phones on the internet, very handy to do on the fly.

'on the fly', very good! There is also a conversion table toward the back of the manual.

Something to consider is Altimeter QNH setting. Given that the Sim default QNH is unbelievably low at around 995mb to 997mb (normal standards is 1013) this could result in significant altitude related errors unless you set the altimeter correctly before take off. Any error works out at around 30ft/10m per mb error.
The errors induced are 2 fold. Any altitude error will affect the TAS calculation (Minor) but will also affect the Bomb range (major) since you would be releasing from a false altitude though all your Bomb sight settings appear correct. A 10mb pressure setting error results in 300ft/100m release altitude error .... that will result in a HUGE bomb range error in Level Bombing Solution is to Reset the altimeter on every flight. This can be done by setting the airfield elevation to its correct value before flight. This will then result in the correct QNH (Pressure setting) for the map. As you will see its always in the region of 995-997mb. PDF in the attached zip file has the exact airfield elevation for each airfield in CLOD taken from inside FMB Also don't forget the Height setting is height above target not Altitude. So it needs to be: SIGHT SETTING = ALTITUDE - TARGET ELEVATION |
