    Level Bombing Utility

    Hi all,

    Keller started a project to help with adjusting the LOTFE 7 bombsite (He-111) on the fly. And then Colander turned around and made it an interactive bomb sight calculator with the channel map built into it lol. Some of these folks never cease to amaze me

    Basically with the click of a mouse button you move to a position on the map to set both your take off altitude and your target altitude. These altitude settings are both measured and input for you by clicking on take off and target locations. Add in your speed and viola you have a direct setting for your bombsite that will assure you of a good target hit.

    Basically get your arses up there and start level bombing!!

    I think this utility would be perfect for a second monitor or some sort of tablet as well.

    Here's a link: http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/utils/lotfe7.html

    And here's some screen shots of the utility and of the interactive map portion.





    As always, feedback is welcomed!

    That's fantastic. And it automatically inputs both base airfield and target elevations from clicking on the points on the map? Or have I got that wrong?

    Do you have to pinpoint the target itself, or just the overall grid ref square?

    Yep you are right. So it could be used for setting correct altitude in any plane. Don't know how they do it. But this stuff is soo cool

    It will give you the in game elevation at that exact point on the map; Colander's genius at work yet again!

    That's bloody marvelous. I haven't been following the thread that closely (all Jerry stuff you understand).

    So what are the chances of one in imperial units for us Blenny Pukes? There's a chocolate hobnob in it for you chaps.

    Thats a great idea. That way all the RAF could also use this to set their take off height correctly as well. Don't want to speak for Colander, but I think you could add another block that automatically adjusts to feet as well. Should be a simple conversion.

    And chocolate hob nobs LOL.

    I don't know the slightest thing about how the bombsight in the Blenny works, if you share some info with me I'm sure I could come up with something.

    Bored ??!!??

    The 3D bombsight is a cool addition. I'd hate to see what would happen if you really set your mind to something!
