Wirbs are making me crazy

Thanks for the link Buster!

  Thanks Bustr

The lead should be about twice as much as you see in there too. Drones fly around 200, most in the arena fly full/wep  so that is closer to 400.

Which as, in the end, the effect of having to 'lead more' if your point of reference was the edge of the screen for example. I vaguely remember the first Ostwind tutorial I read back in 2005, which told you to keep the enemy at the edge of the screen at standard zoom.
With a changed default FOV in AH3, that would not work anmyore, you would have to lead more than that.

Also a good point to consider.  Thanks!

The square area framed by the osti and wirble gunsight is 180Mil wide. In the osti that makes for a good lead sight against drones out to 1200yds, I was just testing it. The gunnery terrain helps you alot to spawn up on the mesa and use the lead computing cross to see this. After that, your shooting becomes problematical and better against on coming or leaving flight profiles. The dispersion of the 37mm in the osti is your problem at longer ranges and why it always works better against bombers 1200-2500. And max range in the game is only 2700.

Have you enabled the lead computing sight offline?     clipboard>options>arena setup>Environment>arena settings>double click on Flag mode>enable lead computing sight.

I see "FlightModeFlags" where lead computing sight can be enabled, but don't see the green crosshair when in a Wirb.  Is there something else I need to do?

After that you have to select the enemy you are shooting at with TAB.

That works.

Nice sights Bustr.  Thanks!

I imagine the icon saying "MAX" and I can hit the plane from far off.         The lead computing sight can give you a little indication of distance and lead of target.   It's easier to just plan the enemy's path of flight and start a stream and let the plane fly through it.

I did all that-except I didn't see anything flag mode or e l c s[[saw country flags and and other types of flags but no E L C S

Nice sights Bustr.  Thanks!

Just remember to save that zip file somewhere or, if you ever loose the folder structure and files from the game, they are not the original wirbel and osti sights I created for AH3 to work with the LCG function offline.

Could be true.  I do have a shiny new rig with a 1070 card which presents the game in a whole new light.  My perception is that a lot more lead is required to achieve hit sprites.  Whatever the reality is, that’s my perception.  Thanks for the input!

set your max texture size to 1024 to see tracers and hit sprites better

It’s already there. Thanks!

Lunatic,the settings for LCG are under OPTIONS>ENVIRONMENT>ARENA SETTINGS>FLIGHT MODE FLAGS>change>Lead COMPUTED SIGHT>OK>SAVE

[lunatic1]

I guess I'm just stupid. I can't figure it out thanks for trying.
