Hs-129 Gunsight
Is there a guide/tips available on how to use the gunsight in the new plane?
 I have no idea what each of the angled "cursors" represent or how to use them. EDIT - if anyone had a document stating some engine boost and rpm settings for cruise, combat, etc I would be thankful as well.

I've found some Hs-129 manuals on this site.
They seem to contain the info that I want, but I don't understand German (and the Gothic font in the first one is unreadable )http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/oth...als-20666.html You have to register to download, but there are interesting images included - it's worth a look. If anyone could translate the first one at least, I'd be grateful

That's what I use already for those big guns
Here are the "cursors" on the left side of the gunsight. Because they are only on the 1942 version, and not the one with the elephant-gun, I think they are an aid for bomb dropping, but I can't figure out how they're used.

According to the German manual you linked it's an aiming aid for level bombing depending on your flight altitude.
1st line: 10m above ground 2nd line: 50m above ground 3rd line: 100m above ground 4th line: 200m above ground
