Spectre Gunship Aiming?

[trek 0]

Just installed the 4-part SF:Vietnam expansion pack mod. What a fantastic job! I tried a mission with the Spectre Gunship, but couldn't figure out how to aim and hit anything. I'm probably missing something right in front of me, but still no luck. I see the sweeping radar screen in the upper right corner and the front facing targeting reticule, but since the guns face only on one side of the plane how do you actually aim? Does anyone know the procedure for targeting with the AC-130 or is it not possible?

Hmmm Dont have that AC130 but back in YAP1 with the AC-47 and AC-130E I would target and padlock the ground target then walk the gun fire into it - they put an aiming recticle on the left side of the cockpit - but was still really difficult even with a trackIR.
