Convergence confusion, please help.

[5./JG27.Farber]

Q1: Yes.

Can't help you on the other questions, I fly blue. Sorry.

Q2 - not anymore, this has been fixed. Don't forget your loadout menu is in meters, the gunsight convergence is in yards, wingspan is in feet.

So if your convergence is 150 yards, set it to 136 (m) in the loadout menu and if you shoot at a 109 (which you should!), set wingspan to 34ft.

Convergence depends on your personal preference, you're right about vertical value, it is where the bullets cross the line of sight ballistically. All this is extremely important for the RAF fighters.

Thanks for clearing up Q1&2... they were the most important!

[Ataros]

1&2 were fixed IIRC

4) Try those mentioned by Mr.X below his video (2nd comment)

Ok thanks..

BUT... now i'm confused again about whether vertical & horizontal convergences are reversed.

I'll test it when i get a chance.

Hi Mad

I share your sense of frustration over this whole convergence issue. I've seen the diagram supplied by Ataros before, and it's very pretty of course, but I'm still completely confused about how convergence is actually set. Frankly, I doubt whether anyone here really understands it. Convergence is really just one number as far as I'm concerned. It is the point in meters or yards along your line of sight where you want the projectiles from your weapons to group. That could be 50 or 1000 m. Whatever you choose, I really fail to understand the other value, whether that's called the vertical or horizontal convergence, doesn't change the fact that it appears superfluous.

The point of convergence in the supplied diagram actually appears to sit about a meter or more above the line of sight. I have no idea what's going on with that .

i agree that diagram means nothing to me.

What has really annoyed me now is:.. every individual gun has 2 convergence settings, each plane has 8 guns and something like 8 fighters on the red side (that number is a guess).. soooo i have to type 128 numbers into the GUI to setup my convergences for just the Red side alone!! Jesus wept at less !

P.S Who stole my third question in my original post?
