The pipper has three major "modes" of operation: automatic, manual, and 300m mode.
'''''300m mode'''''
300m mode is entered by rotating the throttle drum with the {{key press|k}} button all the way to the rear. In this mode, the target distance is assumed to always be 300m, and the angle will be automatically set for the gun. Rotate the span knob to set the desired target wingspan width in meters.
'''''Auto mode'''''
Automatic mode is entered into by not being in 300m mode, and by flipping the AUTO/MAN switch to MAN.
Span still must be set manually.
Distance is taken from either a radar lock, the slant-radar range (if the radar is locked in the forward position), or if neither is present, the distance is assumed to be 600m.

To set the correct angle of the pipper use the information included in the <code>bombing_data.csv</code> file (situated in the top level folder of the aircraft) to set the pipper depression angle using the top right wheel on the gunsight with the red gauge and label <code>Angle</code>.
