Basic mission to fine tune loadouts,convergence ,gunsight ,etc.

[jaydee]

Here is a little mission i made just to try out various loadouts and gunsight adjustments .The targets are stable and it should easily run on low spec PCs.Its mainly designed for Noobs(like me) but it may help better flyers to set up there aircraft for online combat !~S~

[ATAG_Torian]

Thx jaydee. Installed it and works well. Wonder if u could take a slo-mo vid in
something like fraps to see exactly where every bullet is hitting. That might be a
real help too.

[ATAG_Snapper]

Thanks for this, Jaydee! I haven't had the chance to try this, but per Torian's suggestion will post some guncam footage later -- including slo-mo which is easy to do in post processing.

If there is anything worse than my flying skills, it's my gunnery!

[ATAG_Knuckles]

Thanks Thanks !!!!

I have tried so many convergence settings be anxious to use this:

Like ATAG_Snapper :: thats why I tend to fly bombers

Pardon a silly question, but where do we place these files? I'm sure I've done this before but obvious;y not much.:no

[ATAG_Torian]

@ Chief
There is a readme txt in the folder once u've unzipped it. Basically u put the 3
other files into the Missions>Single player folder located in Documents>1csoftcub.
Then when u start ur game u just get into Single player and the mission will show
up there. Just double clik on the planes to change out ur plane sets and ? enable
unlimited ammo. Actually not sure if u can do unlim ammo and cem at the same time. Anyways it works well.

Try this one, Torian. I've been meaning to get around to this vid for ages.

Nice practice mission jaydee but you'll notice I swapped the blue and red around. As a mainly red flyer I didn't think anyone would be interested in how to better shoot down a hurri! ;)

Awesome video Jimbob!

...still laughing about the comments :laugh:


three with one! I have to start being careful of you ;)

Thanks Grathos. Just realised that youtube annotations don't work on mobile viewers! Hope they fix it sometime...

Hey Grathos,after seeing your post and watching Jimbob's Video got me thinkin....what if we fire our rounds and get out and inspect the target to see how our "group" is ? We can...nearly ! Just press "Pause"after firing and go to externals and "walk" around and have alook ! I know its not 100 % accurate because of the movement but my shootin has definetaly improved and now I understand the whole "convergence" thing !.....A bit of repetitve experimenting guys,but I reckon it pays off in improved shootin ! ~S~

[335th_GRAthos]

LOL Jayde, actually this is the way it is done.

You set up you fighter and the bomber targets belonging to the same flag (country) (so as to avoid evasive action which may complicate your shooting) and test.

The old IL2FB was even better because you could activate the option arcade=1 in the conf.ini and it would indicate exactly where your bullets had hit the target using some arrows as indicators!

In CoD it easy to see the cannons hitting (especially your Minengeschosse :Grin:) but maybe a bit more difficult with the MGs.
Besides the Bf109 is easy (two MG along the centerline, nothing can go wrong), the nightmare is for the Spit guys (eight MG all over the place) :no

Besides, for the Bf109 it is even easier... I copy/ pasted MK.Mr.X's post... :laugh1

Thanks Jaydee...look forward to trying it!!
