Frankly, I doubt whether anyone here really understands it. Convergence is really just one number as far as I'm concerned. It is the point in meters or yards along your line of sight where you want the projectiles from your weapons to group. That could be 50 or 1000 m. Whatever you choose, I really fail to understand the other value, whether that's called the vertical or horizontal convergence, doesn't change the fact that it appears superfluous.

The point of convergence in the supplied diagram actually appears to sit about a meter or more above the line of sight. I have no idea what's going on with that

i agree that diagram means nothing to me.

What has really annoyed me now is:.. every individual gun has 2 convergence settings, each plane has 8 guns and something like 8 fighters on the red side (that number is a guess).. soooo i have to type 128 numbers into the GUI to setup my convergences for just the Red side alone!! Jesus wept at less !

P.S Who stole my third question in my original post?
