This is my first impression of the patch:

I love you guys.

Dang I said I was going to wait until a final released patch through Steam, now you guys are really tempting me... I have yet to install any of these beta patches.
Nice to hear some positive words, I have been waiting for this before really delving into the sim.

This was 8 x 250kg bombs set with 0m delay.

Indicated airspeed was 270 km/h, Altitude 4210m.

Bombsight inputs were "True airspeed" 350 km/h and 4210m.

Since this target was right on the coast so I didn't deduct any altitude to allow for target elevation.


This image should explain it. Bombs also seem to stay closer together from high altitude; not as much natural spread.

Wow, thanks Keller (and 1C of course). That's exactly what I have been waiting for.

I am getting an error message when I extract the file.

"CRC failed in parts\bob\bob_update05.SFS. The file is corrupt"

I am using Winrar.


**Never mind all good now, I downloaded directly from a link in this thread. Previously I had downloaded the patch from Airwarfare, which was giving me the errors.

CTD is fixed when exiting a SP mission!
FPS is about the same.
