I hope I'm in the right section. I am getting more and more interested in modding and I wish to try some in the near future. However, I'm not anywhere close yet. But I thought of a mod that would be insanely cool if anyone could create it or help me start it. I noticed that in Hell's Angels campaign that you can fly all day in formation but are only limited to the guns and pilot positions while in auto pilot. Could a mod be made to keep the pilot in auto pilot while letting the bombardier be able to use sight adjust. It would be obvious that the pilot would have to be right over the target which he would be since he is already in formation unless his plane was severely damaged. At least this would make it fun to be able to have the bombardier (you) drop the eggs, when and where he wanted but maybe the bombardier could only have rudder to play with and just the north and south axis.

i think we dont really need it, because the bombardiers had control of the airplane while they were dropping their bombs right? i think\\About the section , probably should have gone to the Mod making tools and tutorials section or requests

I'm not sure what you mean? You can already move to the bombarier position and operate the norden bombsight in B25's, A20's etc. See Joe90's excellent video for bombsight training.

  I think the jist of what sa_Chaney meant something like that bombardiers generally controlled the plane via trimming style controls, and the pilot & copilot had overiding control for control/evasion/damage needs...

If thats the case, then the bombsight is'already used to trim/adjust the aircraft while on the bomb-run.

Well what I meant was, since there is no one telling you that you are drifting off target or out of formation, then a bombardier is pointless. Let's just all bomb on command like the used to but unless you lead the bombing run, you will always fall out. Would just be nice for a mod that sorta "brought you back in line"  is all I'm saying.

  Do you mean something like the player Bombardier/Navigator/Emmergency-Pilot receives messages for 'regoin formation on heading XXX blah blah', or '3 mins to target X-mission target/target type-X on heading XXX altitude/angels XXXX.

  I imagine thaqt with some AI mods or somesuch thing like the radar project leekage, that if in some scenarios that you can get 'GCI' messages & 'naxos detectection on heading blah blah', that it should be possible for someone to possible implement something like this; if it isn't already, maybe in-conjunction with the greater AI ground targeting command radius improvement mod/project.
