And after your first run, you need to realize that YOU have to reset the bombsight yourself.

I've had the best success with the following

1. CLOSE your bombay doors.
2. Turn ON bombsight automation again until the hollow triangle (4) has made it's way counter-clockwise and stops. Wait a couple of seconds
3. Turn OFF bombsight automation.
4. Follow the INITIAL procedure as outlined in the PDF.
5. Make sure you remember to open the Bombay Doors again.

HOWEVER, I've had mixed success with this. Normally if I "re-do" the procedure no matter what the bombsight angle is off by about 15 degrees and bombs almost always land 100-200m LONG of the target.

I'm posting a track for the developers to confirm. Maybe *I* am doing something wrong.

Hi Tolwyn!

Thanks by your advise: I've tested your method, and it works fine.

About your "red" comment, I'll test it also for to watch the outcomes by myself. But let me ask you: What was your altitude? Were you flying with wind or without it?
