Scooternutz Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 I probably missed this somewhere. Is there a way to get the AI B-17 to bomb? I have tried in the ME and can't seem to get it to work. [sIGPIC]https://drive.google.com/file/d/16rUBmmJR7A3YGZVGPGskxG1XtvulGojJ/view?usp=sharing[/sIGPIC]
Pikey Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Carpet bombing works. It's in the advanced actions under a waypoint. Any B17 joined to a leader with this will also dump their load together. It's very impressive to watch. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING *
syone201 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 b17 bombing Did you ever get the bombing to work in the end. I'm in the same position. If I create a formation of 4 aircraft with waypoints over an airfield, using the advanced waypoint actions, choose bombing and place the marker over the target, they just fly over the target and don't drop any bombs. I've also noticed that the payload window is blank of any options for the B17, you can create a new one, but it's still blank. Is this configurable? Choose other aircraft from the list and they have payload options, but not for the B17. Cheers
gabuzomeu Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Hello Syone You have to create a new payload ( button bottom left of screen iirc) and right click in plane center position, choose bombs) That's it. Kaboom. Details: Asus Z-170E, Intel i5-6600K @ 4.2GHz, 16GB RAM MSI GTX970 Gaming 4G Win 10 Home
syone201 Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 b17 bombing Hi gabuzomeu, thanks for the tip, yes found the bomb options, but still couldn't get the bombs to drop until iron bombs were set (which I found in another thread), found the formation settings as well, so a good day. Just waiting for the flak guns and some infantry to turn up.
