SDOE uses pounds and feet for units

Then all I have to say is thank God...I'm trying to make a "Bomb Midway Island" mission and I'm using Zero's with bombs since that's my only choice. According to my info- they could carry up to a 551 pound centerlione bomb...and the 250 pounder that is in the loadout barely scratches anything on the ground- so maybe I could change it? Then everyone would have to change theirs...but with the release of these missions, maybe I can include the newer loadout?

Jeeves,

I intended to use a 500lb bomb on the Zero but I thought that the 250 was in kg. Just change the 'germ250 to 'germ500 and double the weight and warhead. I will put it on the next release of the Zero.

Thanks mposis-

I was hesitant to change it until I was sure it was lbs. and not kg's. It really does make a dfference in these Midway missions since I don't have a Val or Kate--thanks for making it to begin with. I am American and love the Yanks planes...but the Zero is beautiful!

Jeeves,

Thanks. Glad you liked it. Right now I got the Zero thas has the correct climb rate and max speed. The problem is it still dives to fast. It also has a tail hook that extends and retracts but can't hit anything correctly.

Glad I had my seatbelt on...
