Title: B25-H Gunsight First attempt
Post by: Sundiver on August 28, 2007, 02:06:21 PM

My first attempt at a sight. Calibration may be iffy beyond 2k but works well for me out to there.

PS: Actual sight done by my GF, I just did the rudimentary calibrations for it.

What's your convergence range set to on this? Glide angle? Was your head at default position?

Head default level on ap using .target for the ranges indicated convergence maxed since it's all nose mounted the cali is strictly for the cannon.

LOL, like I said it's a first attempt.

PS: I'm hoping someone will take it and run with it and make a "real" gunsight. It works for me, your mileage may vary.

Remember, the target is moving at the same speed as your plane so the round travels farther than the indicated range.

More like luck than science, if it works at all....

Angle of attack, speed, etc...all comes into play here....
