I have several brit and american gyro gunsights (both the war and postwar models), and the range adjustment could only be done on the postwar ones AFAIK.
In the end of the day the gunsight range had to be adjusted to match with the converging point of the machineguns, and that's something you can't adjust in flight. I am not sure whether it changes with the converging adjustments you can do before the mission, but it's worth a test methinks.
As for anything else I think they did an impressive job with it, the only side note being that they didn't simulate gyroscopic precession (which could happen at times).
And now for a shameless plug: if anyone's interested I have a couple of GGS gunsights to sell, they're postwar but just like the wartime ones. PM me if you're interested!
