Cant use bomb sight at all

[Lunaticgamer]

I've read multiple guides from multiple sources, and nothing is working. I've had the bombardier get up at one point, but I still can't use the sight. The only thing I can use is the "Search and Track scope," and that's it. I can't release bombs, adjust for drift, see the target hardly, or do a lot of anything. I'm using a Keyboard and mouse and beginning to feel like this was a massive waste of time and money. And this is for the bombing run tutorial which btw is an absolute letdown as it explains NOTHING AT ALL!!! Even DCS had tutorials that could be understood. This tutorial "have fun figuring it out and pray that it works hehehe"

And yes I even watched multiple videos of people "showing how to do it" and it simply doesn't work that way on my end. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall the game completely? Only thing I managed to get to work at all really was the guns. Woohoo

When you get in the bombardier's spot, press the A key for action mode.

The tutorials in old games had the instructions in the manual so to know what to do you have to have the manual open while playing. Page 19 in this case.

in short when on the bomb run click the bombardier, press A, then Shift+K, use the arrows on the bottom right of the screen to adjust on target, Shift+K again to lock on, arrows again to adjust drift, repeat until the bombs drop which happens automatically.

The game was designed and intended to be played with a joystick in mind, not required but makes things much easier.

After you initially hit shift +K you may have to also select the center icon to then free up the adjustment arrows.
