Come to think of it ... we can also create a version of this mission for the night bombing server too ... if we ever get that off the ground.

Here is relevant documentation - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Monte_Cassino

I am very interested in using the Norden bombsight. I am willing to practice with you in setting this up...however, I do not know much about the details of setting this up. I would definitely like to train.
Thanks

Great. I will post here an update in the next day or so. Stay tuned.

Update - I have created a simple mission in UP3.0 RC4 with this task in mind. The scenario is to use high altitude bombing techniques to drop ordinance on that mountain top. We will use B17s, B24s, B25s and B29s. The mission file is in the File Depot section. We need to determine the time and server we wish to use for this training scenario and gauge the interest from members. It will likely be on server 3 since as of right now is underutilized. I propose we turn that server into a Bomber Trainer server, so ... all the interested parties please chime in. ( I know Moby is been itching for some night bombing)

Additionally ... if any mission creators and recon officers that wish to participate please download the mission and update any additional ground targets and frills and re-upload with a new version number and update this discussion string. Same for the mission info and recon work. (photography etc)

Why not drop paratropers, take over the gambling tables, hold formula one jeep races or ransom Grace Kelly? Wait... that's another Monte Ca___!

Hehe, the only way u cud hold Grace Kelly for ransom is to dig her up. She died in a car "accident" several years ago. But, if that's ur thing, by all means, be my guest LMAO.

Google Joe90 or Norden Bomb Sight Training for IL-2. There u will find a very good informational video that explains how to use the bomb sight. The hardest thing u will need to do is decide is which keys u want for your bomb sight functions. Once you have that accomplished, then PRACTICE, PRACTICE, etc. Also, there is a video produced by GC Picard showing the use of the bomb sight table. However, in my humble opinion it needs just a little tweeking on exactly HOW u adjust the table for ur bombrun.

Hi All

I'm no mission creator, but offer my services as a map tester when required if this is helpful.

Hey Moby, do you know how to test maps locally? What i mean is - are you familiar with installing a downloaded map so you can test it on your machine without having to have a server involved? If so ... see attached, otherwise state your knowledge level and we can help you figure it out. Lastly, i will eventually get around to installing this version of the map to server 3 sometimes this week. I will pst here when i do.

Cheers!
