Gunfreak Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Love we finally have a warbird with this. But is it in feet, yards or meters. i7 13700k @5.2ghz, GTX 5090 OC, 128Gig ram 4800mhz DDR5, M2 drive.
fencible Posted June 21 Posted June 21 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.

Or some 230 yards. 1 i7 13700k @5.2ghz, GTX 5090 OC, 128Gig ram 4800mhz DDR5, M2 drive.
-Rudel- Posted June 22 Posted June 22 It's in Meters. We'll add that unit of measurement in the description. 5 3 https://magnitude-3.com/ https://www.facebook.com/magnitude3llc https://www.youtube.com/@magnitude_3 i9 13900K, 128GB RAM, RTX 4090, Win10Pro, 2 x 2TB SSD, 1 x 15TB SSD U.2 i9 10980XE, 128GB RAM, RTX 3090Ti, Win10 Pro, 2 x 256GB SSD, 4 x 512GB SSD RAID 0, 6 x 4TB HDD RAID 6, 9361-8i RAID Controller i7 4960X, 64GB RAM, GTX Titan X Black, Win10 Pro, 512GB PCIe SSD, 2 x 256GB SSD

But 300 meters is longger than the default American convergence. I hope you also adds 150, 200 and 250. 2 i7 13700k @5.2ghz, GTX 5090 OC, 128Gig ram 4800mhz DDR5, M2 drive.
chris455 Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Where is it possible to adjust the convergence? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Remembering Arlie "Jack" Campbell, US Army Air Forces, WWII. Well done dad, rest in peace.

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"... 1
chris455 Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Thank you Andrew- [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Remembering Arlie "Jack" Campbell, US Army Air Forces, WWII. Well done dad, rest in peace.
felixx75 Posted June 24 Posted June 24 (edited) Default should not be 500m but 300m (with shorter options too). Edited June 24 by felixx75
