I need a hand here. The guns are off, and I don't know why. The converge correctly, but they go far too high compared to the gunsight. I tried OPS gun convergence util, but it made matters far worse What's up? Anyone want to take a look?

Can't remember the exact verbiage in OPS, but if you highlight the pilot in the parts list, and get access to the gun convergence screen, you can "switch to pilot view" or something like that. Once you do that, you can raise and lower the pilot's viewpoint so that it corresponds to the gunsight position. Then you can also change the convergence and even move the gunsight itself so that everything lines up.

If you're talking about the sight in the P-47, I would simply move it in OPS. I resized the thing and that's probably why it's off.

Jedi, thanks. It's fixed. No, JT, that's not enough. The pilotview and GSview were unaligned, so the guns were pointing a fair bit upwards.

Let's hope the plane packers can stand a late update... The gun convergence is absolutely spot on in the dead centre of the gunsight now, it was really off before, above and to the right.
