Bombs release

I wanted to reinstall but I must ask first. When I'm on a mission, when I release mi bombs everybody in the group released their bombs too. Please, is there any idea. :(

Thats CFS3 for you. They included this with the patch. In the war american bombers dropped their bombs on the leaders mark. You're the leader, so when you drop your bombs they drop theirs. Unfortunately the same seems to apply for both British and German forces as well in microsoft land. :P ;)

Thanks Woodlouse2002, but it did not happen before. I'm in the middle of a pretty good campain using the Mosquito IV and now it is becoming a mesh.

If anybody wants to know, solution was to re install CFS3 and do not download the Upgrade from MS. I use a 1% Beaufighter from avhistory and I don't have any problem, but I know that some adds-on needs the Upgrade. Finally, the problem didn't allow me to attack ship convoys but I think that change and point targets in flight, or let pilots in a group choose their targets is historically acurate, at least with Mosquito IV and ship attack missions. ;) ;D

You don't want to run CFS3 without the patch!
Better open your Mossie's XDP file in notepad and in the first line change category:"level_bomber" to category="tactical_bomber" or "fighter" if you wish.
Next delete the bdp and your Mossies will attack in pairs if you assign targets for them.

Thanks you Mathias, it works properly with "fighter-bomber" category.
