Bob!

Do you know if we can map this to an axis? I've got a few left on my BU0836 and it would be cool to have it on a dial!

Cheers!

you do know how envious we all are??????

You can adjust a wingspan dial under the reflector to your desired targets wingspan in feet (e.g. 74ft for a Heinkel 111, 32ft for a Messerschmitt 109)

Then you adjust a second dial for the desired range (in hundreds of yards)

What that does is sets/ moves the horizontal bars on the gunsight, so that they would frame the enemy aircrafts wingspan. ...

I do not have COD yet.

Question: Am I correct that if you have your gunsight range dial set at 200 (to match your convergence setting of 200 yards), and you set the wingspan dial at 32 feet, a Bf109 directly ahead (no off-angle/deflection) would be 200 yards ahead when its wingspan filled the open space between the two horizontal lines? Or, as is posted in another thread (http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=22965), will the Bf109 be at the designated 200 yard distance when the Bf109 wingspan fills only the space between one of the horizontal lines and the center pipper/dot....as seen below:

It fills the space between the lines, if I am not mistaken. I will check tonight.

I stand corrected, when you set the wingspan dial to the correct distance and set you range to the distance you want the target will fill the space between one of the horizontal lines and the center pipper/dot.

Nice. Now there is an other thread spreading the word with my picture so everybody retarded enough to not have noticed and learned the gun-sight already can learn about it. And no credits to me for "figuring it out". A 2 year old could have figured it out and people behave like they discovered the ******* wheel again. sigh.....
