Love we finally have a warbird with this.

But is it in feet, yards or meters.

I wonder about that too. In the mission editor you can select synchronization ranges for each pair of guns. The available settings are 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800.  The default setting is 500.  I am assuming, therefore, that the values are specified in yards, not feet.  I suspect the intention is to allow longer synchro settings for ground-straffing purposes.  I recall years ago reading that a popular synchronization setting for real WWII F4U pilots was 240 yards for air-to-air engagements, so we cannot set up for that, even with this new feature.

800 feet is 243 meters. Or some 230 yards.

It's in Meters.

We'll add that unit of measurement in the description.

But 300 meters is longger than the default American convergence.

I hope you also adds 150, 200 and 250.

Where is it possible to adjust the convergence?

In Mission Editor.  When you place an F4U aircraft in the mission, you can click the "Additional Aircraft Properties" tab "..." and there you will see selection boxes for inner, middle and outer guns.  Also, a checkbox for custom pattern, but I don't know what that does.

Found this on Wikipedia under "Gun harmonization"...

Default should not be 500m but 300m (with shorter options too).

IMO it should also be in yards, not meters, because that's how it would have actually been measured.

And agreed, we also need options under 300.
