Hi Bounder,

Remember that Lancaster mission we flew? It was a night mission where you had the bombardier give you steering and dropping cues.

How do you set that up?

Thanks!

Sorry Conky....late in answering.

I used the OBOE feature of the Command and Control MOD that is included in UP3. I believe also that some a/c have an instrument......so long ago that I built it.

Here is the text from the C and C MOD guide:- (You should find the full C and C guide Readme in UP3 Docs)

OBOE
OBOE roughly replicates the British blind bombing system of WWII, though
it can be used as a stand in for SHORAN, Knickebein, or even Vietnam-era
inertial navigation bombing systems.
- How it works: Place the OBOE object on the place you want to be bombed.
OBOE will broadcast a continuous feed to the player while he is airborne
and above 500m. The OBOE object will not work if the player has no bombs
aboard.
- The OBOE object will continuously compute the ideal drop point based on
the player's speed and altitude relative to the target. It will give the
player a straight-line course to the target, including an ETA to the drop
point.
- Since OBOE will be on-screen almost continuously, it is designed to be
unobtrusive and uses symbols rather than words:
">>>" means "turn right".
"<<<" means "turn left".
"|5|" means "On course. 5 minutes to drop point"
"[30]" means "On course. 30 seconds to drop point"
"Drop!" means pickle your bombs.
- With a little practice, OBOE can be very accurate (+/- 100m @ 3000m).
For best results, try to maintain level flight and constant speed on the
final run over the target. It is also better to release slightly early (ie
at "
  • ") to ensure hits.
    - Only one OBOE target should be used per mission.

    Hope this helps.
