I like criss crossing my guns. My Fm-2 has 4 crisscross points. I'm not certain it works like that but it seems I have 4 areas of bullet convergence to compete with. My F6 has 6 convergence points...maybe more. Either way it's up to the sim pilot to decide what works best for him. The .target command says I have a good set up too....nice and tight

My spit 8 is set up to criss cross also and can squeeze 9 kills out of that short 303/cannon clip.

After some hair pulling I set mt convergence out to d400.

Now I seem to be hitting my targets using the same lead as when I fly cannon planes.

Go figure

"Getting used to" is the right idea.  With cannons you blow their wing off, with .50 cals you saw it off.  For me it was holding the shot and the trigger a little longer.

If it's allnose mounted it's out to 650.   I'll still get to within 200 before I pull the trigger.   

Anything else, it's at 250 and I'm not pulling the trigger to almost 150 out.    Personally, I think people try to get "too crafty" with their settings.   I just get up close and personal.
