  1. Happy New Year everyone. Few day ago I tried to load a Mod using JSGME and I had a failure message and the game crash. It was a mod that was working before and that I had remove before an update. Anyway now my DCS world don't even start and this is without any mods. I read somewhere to do a repair but I can't find how. Thanks
  2. Nice, thank you for that :)
  3. Nice thank you
  4. You don't need for 100 yard, at that distance it fill the gunsight. You need it for the further convergence to judge your distance. I understand that it doesn't really matter for a Dora or a 109K since the guns are in the nose and it make the convergence not that relevant but is not the case on small caliber wing mounted guns where it's the bullets concentration that make the damage.
  5. The question is how they manage to hit at 300 to 400? They didn't it was highly inefficient. That is why they end up with closer convergence. I personalty like to shot when the aircraft fill the complete gunfight that is around 150. No waste :)
  6. Thank you YO-YO for the reply and that wonderful module, further down the line will we be able to adjust the convergence to a closer range like it was done those days?
  7. The Spitfire gunsight is pretty straight forward, you need to adjust only 2 rings, the base (wing span) and the range ring. To set those rings properly you need to know only 2 things, your opponent wing span (Base ring) and the range of your guns harmonization or convergence ie where in space the bullet will converge. Once both rings are set you only have to shot once the aircraft wings fit inside the sight symbol ( the 2 horizontal line each side of the gunsight.) Knowing your convergence is primordial to use your gun to it's maximum effect. On the subject of gun harmonization they're is multitude of books, bio or historical research that tell story where pilots had there armourer or engineer had there convergence adjust and change from the manufacture. Bio of Malan or Beurling come in mind. Here a documentary on George Beurling @ 28:21 it explain how Beurling had is convergence change by his mechanic. I know it's only a History Channel documentary but there is plenty of reference about the subject https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGnxGqEEbOc
  8. They are definitely further then 180. Do a test, make a mission place a 190 in front that fly in the same heading then you and set your gunfight base at 40 and the range at close range 2 (200 yards). Get close to your 190 until it completely fit's in the gunsight " that mean you are in range or 200 yard from him" Shoot and you will see your bullet barely touch it's wing tip. If the convergence would be 200 the bullets would impact the the middle of the gunsight or the middle of the aircraft
  9. Thanks:thumbup:
  10. I when trough the is tidious process and it make you loose you modules. The problem with that system is that if you give YOUR key you will have to buy a new module for you and re install it. That of course if you want to give a module you don't like that fine. But not if you love your module and want to purchase a few to fly with friend. I think a simple buy for a friend option will easier my 2 cent
  11. Hi anyone know what is the gun default gun convergence on the Spit IX and how to modify it? thank you
  12. 0300 to 0500 GMT? That was 5 hrs ago ;(
  13. I tough on a pre purchase you have access to it before the December 16th release date :( Two more weeks ;)
  14. I miss it too
  15. I think it will. With the current spoting state and how easy it is to loose sight, a turn fighter definitely have the advantage.
  16. But we can see the sign, we don't loose it, we're not asking to be able the read on the tail marking. I can't finger point at what is the problem but the spoting and keeping track of the plane is deficient.
  17. I don't know what have change or if I do something wrong, but when the server is on the F-5 vs Mig21 I have an FPS hit or around 30% less and if I Shift TAB the read the chat I can't get out of it and the only way for me to leave the server is by leaving the game with CTRL ALT DELETE. Thank you
  18. Good job on the campaign, I can see that lot's of work as been done for the immersion even if we don't have a map nor the plane set. It's fun and painful at times. Thanks for the works o7
  19. I would like a rotation personally, it is more accurate and immersive, we already have to imagine that we are over Korea. If we had those 2 that won't help. I appreciate that you want to please the most folks but you go along that line we end up with no one willing to fly the underdogs. my 2 cent
  20. Something very simple. Being able to buy a module as a gift to someone without having to give your module and buying another one for yourself. o7
  21. I see that sometime when i zoom in the gears are down on the Saber's AI or human, is it a know bug or it need to be reported?
