RANs9
The head bobbing feature defined in the "d3d8.ini" file may be what is giving you trouble. It is designed to emulate body movement when the aircraft changes attitude such a banking. Much like in a car when you go around a corner your body is thrown slightly in the opposite direction which changes your centre of view. You can either disable this feature or learn to adapt to it since it does provide realism. Practice in QC to get used to it if you intend to keep it.
Otherwise look into the d3d8.ini file for the headshake option and ensure it is set to "0" to disable it. The default setting is "0" but maybe you need to check yours.

RANSs9, have you noticed this issue in any of the gameplay videos that have been posted? That might help nail down whether it is something more specific to your setup? Are you using TrackIR?

Hmm. So we are both using TrackIR. Is there any way you could do a short video to show what you mean? I have read your description a few times and am trying to visualize what is going on. Are you saying that the plane's roll axis is not around the center of the gunsight? Are you able to walk on the target with rudder? Are you mostly talking about deflection shots in a turn or just trying to pinpoint specific parts of the aircraft while attacking from behind? Thanks!

Haha, you haven't offended me. I was attempting to get you to look more seriously at how an untrimmed aircraft could be what is causing your problem.
You see rudder trim is indirectly tied to the roll axis. If your plane is out of trim and not flying co-ordinated (ie: when the slip ball/needle isn't centered) you get what is called adverse yaw. (When the plane rolls it also yaws in the opposite direction to the roll and vice versa). The faster you go, the worse it gets. Also, a well trimmed plane is a stable gun platform, this makes aiming less complicated. Basically, if you have a stable plane then any inaccuracy is probably your own fault. Keep your rudder trimmed and your roll issues will be decreased.
