I have the greatest respect for Zaz and his metohod,but I don't do real well with it,because if you zoom all the way in ,and then up.The target is not on the screen because your zoomed in so far.I have devised a system where I shoot at a nearby hanger,object etc.,and then I move the mouse curser where I hit.It's not perfect,but I do land a few kills that way.I've had many a sortie stopped abruptly by Zaz,and not all vultches mind you!,and my hat is off to him for mastering a skill like he has.

I'll for the most use the Ostie default sight as a reference point. I'll also zoom in at times.

I've landed 30+ kill hops as well. It takes practice.

LTAR's use "The Force".... I know, I have felt the wrath! This one time, in Aces High, I flew over a base with an LTAR sitting in the tower and he smashed my plane with the "Force Grip".... Ture story!

Dumb question......how do you set the mouse cursor?? I've tried moving the mouse around while in a field gun, but it seems to do nothing. I'm sure I'm missing something really simple, but would someone mind explaining what you guys mean by this?

Thanks

they just use the cursor as a marker on the screen. Move your mouse so the cursor is on the "cross hairs" of the site. Then use the page up and down buttons to adjust your "head height" to get a good view over the armor on your osty. Hit F10 to save the head position.

Now as long as you don't touch your mouse again, where the cursor on your screen is, is also where the cross hairs are. You can also use a grease pencil to put a mark on you monitor to do the same thing.

Thanks Fugitive, looks like I was just over complicating things. I guess morefiend wasn't kidding too much when he said he wraps his monitor in clear plastic wrap and marks on it

I'll have to try this tonight, I still probably won't hit anything, but maybe I can at least scare someone:D

Thanks again

you can also press 'h', that will lock the cursor so you dont move it accidentally.
