Gunsights
« on: December 28, 2008, 01:57:32 PM »
I went to useful links and click on the gunsight link and it said 404 not found. I don't know if the sites down for construction or something or that it changed names. Anyone got a link to a gunsights website. :aok

Why not make a sight with the distance your rounds from the gun you most commonly use at certain distances when the conversion is set to a certain distance? Take the guesswork out of estimating your shots.

I think it would be more like this ... if your convergence was set as say 400 ...

-400 (center pipper)
-600
-800

or

-0 (remembering that your convergence is 400)
-200
-400

As distance is increased from your convergence setting, you have to pull your nose UP to compensate for bullet drop. Bullet drop distances then would have to take into consideration the gun package you are using ... too much trouble to make all those sights for the many varying guns packages available on the planes.

I fly with the Dot 'O Death gunsight ... adding more stuff to the HUD only clogs up my view ... I'd rather guesstimate.

I used to fly with no gunsight at all. And I actually did pretty good. The only planes I used a gunsight with were the F4Us.
