How do you set the gun convergence on the P-51D? Sorry that I am asking here, but I am having trouble with the ED forum and there is no dedicated P51 thread on SIM HQ, as of yet. S! MJ


Instead of complaining about SPAD 7s, Central pilots should capture and fly them too. I suggest putting an apple in the middle of your Aerodrome field and just wait. Eventually a SPAD 7 will come by to get the apple, cause SPADS can't resist apples. This is how the Entente gets a hold of SPAD 7s, m-kay?

According to this site http://www.354thpmfg.com/FighterAircraft_P51Mustang.html

The guns where adjusted to converge at 300 yards range. I belive to have read somewhere that the USAAF had that as a standard

I think that the Ed team has it set for that range, at least around that range. Dang, it means that I, once again, suck at shooting. I need to learn to shoot, properly. pilot S! MJ

That's right, the guns are configured for a standard convergence pattern of around 300 yards. Around, because they are designed to cover an area at this range, and not converge to a singular point. This guns in DCS are set based on real boresighting settings. Each gun can be boresighted differently in one of the LUA files, but doing so requires some math to figure out the convergence point.
