A couple of additional features that would be nice,
Ability to adjust HOTAS while in cockpit, flying. Never really fine tuned it, just set to something that seemed ok, or the best after a few tries, and left it. I have a basic curve I know works for every re_install, but increments of 1 here and 2 there might make a difference.
A QMB mission where your plane is set up on a stand, so your tail is up while stationary, level to the ground, to set up gun convergence, with a target that you can move forward and back. Maybe just a Traditional circle, but why not a stationary plane, even be able to pivot it to see what different hits do.
They also had a bit of lee way with up and down apparently, a half inch spacer at either end of the length of the Gun would change the angle at 200 yards by quite a bit. If you are targeting Ground stuff you'd put a spacer under the back of gun, to keep your nose up while straffing And dog fighting spacer at front of Gun. so you were shooting high. I don't know if they did that, but it would make sense.
And the ability to sit in cockpit and change settings. (That might be a problem as far as security goes), but even just to quit back to QMB, and change it and reload game would be easier than taking off and strafing watching the alt meter trying to gauge things.
Any thoughts on convergence Pilots. I have mine set to 175m for wep 1 and 200m for wep 2. I figure thats 500 feet and 600 feet, Just at 2 foot ball fields away, or little further than the next row of houses behind the the ones across the street from me, something tangible.
The best shots seem to come when target is between .75 .50 on the tag when turning and burning, moves less in the screen, and you can see the flaps moving by then, and plane is clear enough to see when pilot is slipping side ways. and is close enough to see where bullets are going. Mine go wide
It's the same with Ground Stuff, my convergence seems to be right for the Gun cam footage that is high res enough to see where the convergence is in ground strikes. Namely B-29's over japan, when the P-1's go strafing, and P-47's over Italy.
Both are good quality color USSAF official releases, The Fighting Lady also is in good shape, and has a lot of Pacific footage to go by. All three of those titles should bring you right to those movies on uTube.
I've had it down to 100w1 and 120w2, and as wide as 650w1 700w2. But I find the .75 .50 is the best shot as far as taking one with confidence that you might hit it, so have had it around there for a while now.
i think my guns have a device like the one that stops props from getting shot off, except mine stops the guns when a target might get hit.
Cheers!
