look at (in 3D) any ground point or object. Just lock any position or object with the norden sight in the same way that you would when bombing (obviously you don't switch on the panel or invoke the autopilot). Then just press F6 as you would to watch the bombs. You will need to press it three times 1: bomb bay view 2: straight down view 3: view of ground or object You can then zoom and pan around it as normal! You have all probably figured this out already but I felt good about it LOLBTW, in my last mission, which was to Cologne, the fighter attacks were murderous. Just before the IP we were attacked by two waves of FWs in quick succession. I was the RW gunner when the 17 closest to us got a starboard wing full of cannon shells. Both engines immediately caught fire and the 17 peeled off high and right and then dropped back so that I couldn't see it. I switched to the exterior view and saw it slowly attempt to drop back down and to the left to get back in formation. Maybe the pilot was hit, I don't know, but basically he just ploughed into another 17 chopping that one in half and ripping his own starboard wing off. I only saw two chutes from the both of them. Weird and horrifying. Anyway, I absolutely love this game! Dry

Yes I do have the full game but nowhere in the manual does it explain that you can look at any object and not just the one that you lock up and bomb! For instance, no one is likely to get an order to bomb one of the coastal radar sites in England but on the way back if you lock it up and then press F6 as described in the manual you can see one in all it's glory - masts, buildings, support wires etc etc. I was just trying to be helpful and, as I posted, I am sure that everyone else had already got this figured out............
