Move the gunsight selection to the hangar.

It would be nice to have a button on the clipboard in the hangar to access the gunsight menu instead of navigating all the options to get to it.

Either that, or make it possible to access the menu while flying.

The current convergence setup screen might be a nice place to put this.  There is probably room there to graphically show what gunsight is selected -- for those who prefer a more intuitive GUI to menus.

Heck it took 10 years to get an active alpha slider in flight.......

When you click on convergence it would be nice if the gunsight app sat in a corner as part of the process. But, you would still want it's drill down location in the clipboard. I suspect players have personal bitmaps that they switch in the tower depending on the job. It was a long wait for the in flight active alpha slider.

Also, please put the convergence view to the old side view so we can look at the skins.

You have to mess with F8 and zoom to much to see them otherwise.
