Actually the Norden was a tracking telescope.
It was initially aimed at the MPI of the target coordinates as imput in the computer.
The computer used the speed of the aircraft as well as the altitude and magnification of the sight to keep the telescope pivoting on that MPI point of the target area.
So really what we'd need would be a forward down view from the nose of the aircraft that could pivot to a view that would be calculated to be the drop point from the air. (when the markers on the sight would coincide.)
The bomb load would then need a projection path simulating an acutal load drop instead of heading straight to the earth.

Hey guys, pardon my ignorance, but is this something anyone can easily make happen in FSX, are you guys making it work, or what? This is relevant to my interest! I'm intrigued.
