I am afraid you do not understand what "convergence" is. This is setting an intersection point ahead of the aircraft for multiple guns' bullets to intersect to cause the maximum damage. Convergence is not an aiming point.

Haw! Of course two guns---you can't have convergence of fire with one gun! The default convergence looks to be huge. I prefer 50 yards.

Is it possible to adjust the guns' convergence? OFF is a wonderful flight sim.

A good compromise would have been (1) no guns at all, and certainly delete that Vickers, which is completely ahistorical, (2) giving the observer the upside down "U" bar mounting for the the Lewis which was common and allowed him to shoot to the rear over the pilot's head, or (3) the pilot's Lewis gun which was angled out to shoot outside the prop arc (illustrated in the Albatros Publication on the BE2c). The best defense a BE2c has is maneuver, since the wing-warping Eindekker maneuvers like a garbage truck with four flats.

I think this WWI simulator is just about as perfect as one could wish, but for one puzzling matter---why did you give the BE2c a fixed Vickers, which they never carried, and no flexible Lewis for the observer (ahead of the pilot), which they did have? I was really looking forward to working out tactics for dealing with the Eindekker given the actual limitations of the BE.

My brilliant career: Diving the S.E.5A at full speed---can't do this with many WWI aircraft: Impertinent S.P.A.D. XIII looping onto my Fokker D.VIIF's tail: My D.VIIF's engine on fire---heeded advice to turn off mixture, and I dived---flames went out: Albatros D.II just blew a great deal of fabric off of my Nieuport 11:

Is it possible to increase the strength of the FF in the CFS cfg file?

Thanks all for the render aid. I found the screenshots. My FF was OK---I realized it was working when the bumpy ground on takeoff made it go berserk (I had been using airstarts to get right into the bashing). I see the SE has the adjustable tailplane---excellent. The Eindekker is superbly modeled. I noticed it was pretty useless against observation balloons---let me guess---no incendiary or explosive rounds during its period? I am 1000% satisfied by this latest incarnation of OFF. Way to go! P.S. Is the Be2C completely unarmed? I noticed my Eindekker did not collect bullets when I passed abeam. Shooting down a target with the Eindekker is a real challenge. I have a LONG way to go to be a Immelmann. P.P.S. Yes the Hog of Steel is my personal hero!

Many thanks all---all questions answered. My gosh, OFF is wunderbar! Two final questions. (1) I am getting 0 force-feedback. I have all the FF boxes ticked. I am using a Microsoft Sidewinder FF stick which usually rips my right hand off. I am feeling nothing at all in OFF. I seem to recall the earlier versions of OFF had strong FF. (2) Where do I find the screenshots? I want to post some to convince the non-believers.

I have been following OFF from the beginning. The current (disk) version is really wonderful, my compliments. I have a couple questions: (1) How do I completely ditch the "HUD"? (2) I understand you can turn off the red damage reports. How do I do this? (3) I understand there are three manuals. Where can I find them? OFF isn't anywhere in my Vista Program Files. (4) I disengaged brakes from from the pedals in Options but I still see "brakes" most of the time when using my pedals in the air. (5) Can you reload the Lewis Gun? Thank you.

Great. Thank you, bibbolicious.

Good grief. I use the same stick and I have not had this happen since the brand new WOE patch---IL-2 COMPLETE has been fine. Maybe you need to recalibrate?

Thank you very much, BUFF.

I understood I could find Russo's EE Lightning in the files and I was unable. I would very much like to find this item and find where I would be able to download The Mirage Factory's MiG-21F-13. Thank you.
