Would it be possible for someone to create a mod so bombers could manualy open our bomb bay doors?

+1
But I still don't see what this has to do with map mods :!: lol
This needs to be moved so that more people will post.

Sweet thanks

Yes, that will be nice and since we're at it, how about a "master arm" switch (so droping accidentaly the bombs on tarmac wouldn't render the mission a... mess
).
And that toggle gunsight reticle would be nice too

well to solve your "mater arm" switch why dont you just program a combination of keys for your bomb release command like 'shift+B" or whatever, problem sloved. and the sight recticle has been solved.

or get an x-52, it has a safety flap over the bomb release button :wink:

OMG... I have an X52 Pro (and a X52 vanilla... and a Cougar for that matter) and I have the bomb release button under the safety clip... OK... can we get over this "by passing" or "workaround solutions" stuff?
Usualy, I don't ruin other people game by accidentaly releasing 4 tons of bombs on the runway in coops but, some people cant help it and I was blew away a few times by a sudden... light in the background :roll: .
The point of this "request" was to actually make the simulation a bit... better?
You take off, then when close to target you arm the bombload, then when in the bombing run you open the bombay doors... you light up your bombsight
, then make the calculations and... Happy Halloween!

+10 for this.

this is being discussed in the Mosquito WIP,

Yeah I think we all have the x-52. But some of the new guys will come in and test their bombs on the tarmac regardless of safteys or whatever, but it doesn't matter because they don't know any better, they just got the game, they want to play online and they want to see an explosion. I just think it would be really cool to have manual control over the bomb bay doors because I fly bombers religiously and just be one hell of a sight to see 5 b-17s at 25,000 feet throw open their bomb bay doors 30 seconds untill drop......but thats just me.

in what matter you said in previos post that the sight reticle was fixed? Do you know a mod that makes the reticle toggleable?
- Ihatefiberglass - 26.06.2008
Which recticle exactly are you talking about? Like on the aircraft themselves in the cockpit, the bombsight?
- zaelu - 27.06.2008
Well, it would be nice for both of them to be toggleable.
Is there such a mod that let's you turn on and off the reticle? ...any of them.
- Ihatefiberglass - 27.06.2008
Why would you want to turn off the recticles? If you really want to turn off the bombsight crosshairs just shake the bomber around a bit and the gyros will become unstable and then they wont stabilize for a minute or so.
