USING THE SIMPLE BOMBSIGHT
Prior making the bomb run, bombing altitude and aircraft speed must be entered into the
bombsight. The true distance from the target to the plane can be entered using the Increase
Bombsight Altitude and Decrease Bombsight Altitude keys. Input the plane speed using the
Increase Bombsight Velocity and Decrease Bombsight Velocity keys. Note that the true (not
indicated) airspeed must be set (it can be obtained from the speed gauge when in No-Cockpit
View mode).
Use the Toggle Gunsight control key (Shift+F1 by default) to lean to the bombsight lenses.
The intersection of the central vertical line and the horizontal curved line form a crosshair.
The bombardier must release the bombs manually when the target is under this intersection.
