Alternative Bomber Panel Idea
Hello Smilo, Hello Ivan,
I was wondering: Instead of having a complete separate bomb aimerīs panel,
perhaps it would be practical to have this position in the main panel on the right.
This position is at the moment the navigator/communications position, which could
now be placed into a separate, new nav/com instrument panel.
So, for the bomb aimerīs panel, a new window would be obtained from the menu
"Views - New Window - Map New", and mouse-shaped and fitted to get the red
cross in the middle of the central bomb symbol.
Just by enlargening it a bit and moving it into position, the top right corner of the
new window can then be moved to adapt the size so that it fits exactly.
The bomb aimerīs scale shows two altitudes which can be used - 1600 ft and 3300 ft
( 500 m and 1000 m), at 30-minute power, full throttle non-WEP speed, 154-157 Kt
(285-290 Kph or 177-180 mph) depending on which altitude you choose.
For this purpose, the default ft altitude/ kt speed reading in red text at the top of
the screen would be enabled, as the airspeed indicator in kph is a bit small.
Two screenshots show the release and impact moments, aiming for the bottom of
the white square on the map view.
The question is, would this kind of bomb aimerīs panel be more practical?
...or maybe itīs too ugly to have on a main panel - specially if youīre not going
to bomb anything and havenīt installed the Map View from the New Window option,
so you are left with just a black square hole in the panel...
What do you think?
Cheers,
Aleatorylamp
