Has anyone worked out how to set up the X-beam system in the FMB?.
The manual states:-
Quote:
Course Autopilot. Many German aircraft are equipped with a complex
course autopilot that can guide them to target even when visual navigation is
impossible. Not only that, but the system will tell the pilot when to drop his
bombs, provided the bomber remains on proper course.
Understandably, the system is rather complex and requires proper set up
not only in the cockpit, but most importantly on the ground. The system
is based on radio beams projected by multiple ground stations that provide
information to the autopilot. The system is only as good as the beams, and
they need to be set up by the mission author.


I cannot find any other mention of it in the manual.

I see it in the he-111 aircraft but that's all I know about it.
