A 20 bomb aim jumping.

[Lusekofte]

If you fly A 20 multiple time the sight on bomb aim jump. And if you switch to PE 2 it jumps too. 
One have to restart game to get rid of it. 
I know this is a old issue, but I believed it was fixed by now

[-DED-Rapidus]

@LuseKofte, the problem is old, occurs mainly on full servers? you need to record a track and attach it to a message.

[Nocke]

It happens also in SP, it is not related to full servers.

[Smeggles]

It happens in SP too, and is not limited to A20

 

Happens on HE111 as well, just had it happen today, SP

 

After 1 sortie, bomb sight will be rendered functionally inoperable until full exit and restart of game.

A20 and PE2s   I suffered it in all the bombers.... .. in  MP ... and SP

Bump.  This is still happening.  Got it in my A-20 on TAW today.  

[354thFG_Leifr]

Bumpity bump.

This issue is still occurring.

[Zissou]

I've had it happen to me the last couple of days. It is a game breaking bug and renders the HE-111 (and any other level bomber) useless.

Attached track for bomb sight view jumping.

 

Recorded on Pe-2 s37 in QMB.

Was a pretty short session, so I don't think you need to run the game a long time to trigger it.

 

Was just practising some dive bombing, did about 2-3 restarts in QMB. Then decided to look in the bomb sight and it started the electric boogaloo.

We had this again last night, it usually occurs when the player flies a second sortie without leaving the server.

 

It's a pretty obvious indictment as to how little attention bomber aircraft receive when this has been an issue since 2018 at least. I have a feeling that were this some massive flaw in a single-seat aircraft, it would have been fixed long ago. There is an attached track file in the post above me, and a YouTube video demonstrating this bug further up the thread. I've supported this game since the beginning, and have purchased every expansion, but I'm reluctant to buy Normandy because this issue still has not been fixed (not to mention the lack of bombing aircraft in the expansion!). It renders level-bombing virtually useless.

Also, this was in a Ju 88, so it appears to happen with pretty much every bombing aircraft that has a bomb sight...

[[DBS]TH0R]

Interesting... I've been flying bombers in formation - doing level bombingh, sortie after sortie on MP server for years now and never encountered this bug. Perhaps something else in the equation is to blame...?

Maybe not really a fix; but i had this too.

What i do when i have this is use manual mode and use set the altitude and speed to control the view to line up. Not ideal, but it works.

@stevie, no, there was no clear reproduction of the problem (.

[Beazil]

Add me to the list of folks occasionally running into this issue.  I don't know what causes it, but it seems to me that switching bombing modes seems to sometimes make this happen.  Once it starts it doesn't stop until I disconnect from a server.  Wish I could give more information Rapidus.  If I can grab a vid next time I will.

[ITAF_Airone1989]

Since I fly in VR it happens a lot.

Plus, last time I notice that even altitude, heading and speed inside the bombsight are not correct.. it's like if at some point they are not updated anymore, so whatever you do they will show the same value all the time

[Willykurtz]

I have same problem with all bombers in SP mission. If i have 2 missions, fist one will be fine, but in a second one, my sight will be broken. I have to exit game and restart it before flying.

[Oscar_Juliet]

I just recently got back into this sim. Started to learn the HE-111. Solo flight, SP, happened to me. Bombsight is jumping all over the place.

[ITAF_Airone1989]

When I fly in VR sometime I have the opposite problem: bombsight is frozen

switch back and forth between view and manual should fix it

[JG4_Moltke1871]

Sadly I also have to confirm the bug still exists. Often hear about, first time feel it. 
Like some others here I also just jump into VR experience.

I was flying Ju88..

I was wondering bombardier/gunner 1 was in a position I never saw before ( sitting with view in the bombsight, his head melts with the instruments above him )

A bug like that should be a big topic in the “bug workshop” of 1CG .

No war with level bombing ?

The result was my first rage quit since I play Il2 one year?

Unfortunately have no screenshot.

The head of the bombardier was melted with the navigation compass, looks like his head position too high.

 I don’t know this graphic issue have something to do with the jump‘s.

 In other bombers (A20/Heinkel it’s also jumping, right?

Tried a couple of times, it didn't work

[GOA_Canas-MX]

This is still happening, JU-88, on manual and view mode. No fix yet?

I have this still, in Windows Mixed Reality VR, JU-88 and HE-111- View mode functions fine. Auto does not function- pointing then selecting auto reverts to staring at the same point as manual. Trying to move the sight in auto does not work- it elevates or depresses but as soon as you let off the controls it snaps back to the old view spot. Selecting the bombs for release with the little red button does nothing- the Win+B key works, though. Selecting interval with the little red button does not work- it does with keys though. Airspeed and attitude do not match reality. The left/right autopilot in the overlay DOES work. 
I can get by with most using keys, but the failure of auto mode to display and my airspeed and attitude often being incorrect does annoy me greatly.

To me the problem happened when I pressed ctrl+H to hide technochat.

If it is on, it works properly

I will try this- I always fly with technochat off, it annoys me and I like having as little UI as possible. 

[EMP_Nossarian]

This issue is still occurring. It's wild to believe this has been simply ignored since 2017

 

In view or auto mode in the He 111 H-16, the sight constantly tries to go to the max values of horizontal and vertical axes, but is then immediately reset.

 

Steps since launch:

Flew 3 quick start missions in the Pe-2

Flew 1 quick start mission in the Ju-88

Flew 2 quick start missions in the He 111 H-16

It's not being ignored - no one has described a way where this issue can be reliably repeated. So, until then it will remain unresolved.

I am new to the game, and this bug was happening to me as well on HE-111 H-6. When I was switching to the "view" mode in the bomb aim my screen was jumping like crazy almost every single time, which made the view completely unusable. However, I think I've managed to fix it for myself. I have a 144 HZ monitor, but the game settings were set to 60 HZ target FPS an VSync disabled by default. I set Target FPS to 144 HZ and enabled VSync and I haven't experienced this issue since.

So, for everyone who is affected by this annoying bug I suggest trying the following: go to "Settings" -> "Graphics" and set "Target FPS" to match your monitor's refresh rate, and make sure to enable Vsync as well. I hope it helps!
