I think you are referring to shooting at aircraft from a Wirbelwind, M16 or Ostwind.

Read this http://trainers.hitechcreations.com/ostwind/ostwind.htm on the AH Trainer Corps Website. It's about shooting in the Ostwind, but it works very similar for the Wirbelwind too.

Second thing: Practice it with another player in the Training Arena.
Up an WW at any base but A1, and ask your friend to fly a plane as a target for you. That's the best way to get a feel for it.

 To add to Lusche's great suggestions,when in the TA turn on the LCG.

 This is done by using crtl+tab to enable friendly lock,then use tab when your target is in sight.

 You will see the lead calculating gunsite project a set of crosshairs,put then in the piper and watch the hits land. This will assist you in getting an idea of just how much lead you really need.

  Hope that helps.
