Yes, it seems to work this way. But when you are in the bombardier position, you must NEVER change visual from the straight one. If you do it, you have to shift to other positions before returning to bombardier and go to the bombsight again. So, with a little attention we can use Ju-88, an excellent airplane, for level bombing too. Thanks for your help!

Using the "Swiss pocket knife" JoyToKey, I configure one joy button to look in bombsight and manage to avoid this JU-88 bug, even if POV is not straight forward:

When press joystick button 5, JoyToKey send "Keypad5 (FOV forward) 2x, Shift, F1".

So I can pan around cockpit and look into bombsight without freeze.

Thanks, I'll do the same. Anyway yesterday I risked a 45 min mission and the "straight forward" trick worked every time, no freeze at all.

Just FYI.

This issue with Ju-88 bombsight is related with camera control - if camera are off set from forward view before look through bombsight the game freeze.

The workaroud is look front or restet view before look through gunsight, as above.

Some users report that using TrackIR this dont happen.

I test with NewView - that emulates TrackIR via POV HAT - and game dont freeze (at least in my system).

This is really interesting, and it badly needs a sticky I think.

Does it work also with the BR.20M and the He.111 that have exactly the same problem?

You have problem with bombsight in He.111 an BR.20?

In my system both work flawless - Ju.88 need the above workaround, but in any casy try the same for Br.20 and He.111.

I see another users reporting CTD using Br.20 bombsigh (few people try this plane, is difficult tyo fly and considered "inferior").

Hello Sokol,
the BR20 has this problem with bombsight view... I tried it and it still has it...
