The 1st movement, 'The Sea and Sinbad's Ship', is the backing for the video and is one of my favourite romantic pieces; the 2nd movement known as 'The Kalendar Prince' I also recommend.

TD, I speak on behalf of all bombadiers in saying that this update will be the single best piece of work done to improve this Sim since its inception. I also speak for everyone else in saying that this update will be the best piece of work done to improve this Sim since 4.12!

A question - will the B24 also be arriving with all the bombadier updates?

Firestorm,


The US bombardier stuff you saw like the Norden and Intervalometer came the B24D parts and yes, the B24D is in our build however we need to add and tweak a few things here and there.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Fascinating and technically challenging to implement no doubt!!

question 1, how does this effect x-4 and hs/fritz x type misisle/bombs, still steer them by adjust distance and side slip?

question 2, video showed 180 mph IAS in b-25, bombardier had a guage showing 240 TAS which they then inputted, will there be a table or guage change for Axis planes as well, and for Russians too? cant wait for the new stabilizer though, thats the sweet spot as you lock into your bomb run on line with a real pilot... wow great stuff TD.

Outstanding!! It is a logical progression of this sim considering where it is in it's lifespan.. after adding aircraft and maps.. this is the next logical step ... adding more precision and more immersion.

Bombsight updates look great. What are the three little lights in the Soviet bombers at the end of the video?

[Sita]

Navigator looking at bombsight and get correcting direction of flight by pushing buttons and lit that three lamps ... and pilot flight right or left o directly ahead) ... nothing more))) in our planes all was simple)

[Pursuivant]

Fully workable Norden bomb sight! WooT!

For planes that don't have the Norden or its equivalent, will there be a method for the bombardier to communicate with the pilot?

Can you fly as a bomber pilot while an AI bombardier gives you commands? (e.g., "left, steady, up, right, steady, bombs gone")

That's great to hear Monguse, many thanks for the response and sincerest gratitude for your amazing work. Looking forward to the next set of updates.

Concerning the Norden Bomb Sight, I'd like to mention this great lecture (again, as it has been mentioned here in this forum before...).
