Convergence unit of measurement?

A third? A yard is over 90% of a metre, not 66%

1 yd = 0.9144 m

I believe all measurements in the sim are in metres: Plane convergence settings, icon distance, dotrange etc.

The only time its different is in RAF aircraft where gunsights are set in yards (could also affect RAF bombsights, not sure). Decide on your preferred shooting range, say 200yds. This converts to 183 metres which is what you set in the Plane Gunsight convergence. In the Hurri or Spitfire cockpit set the gunsight range to 200yds. Don't forget to set the wingspan too, default is 30 feet (Me 109 is 32 feet - I think all wingspans are in the manual).

EDIT: ooops I missed Robo's post. Same story.

Is it possible that the German planes is in feet?...I don't think you can save a value below 100, whatever 100 is...you see I would like to set to 70M

If you mean convergence, the RAF gunsight range will only go down to 150 yds (164m). You can set wingspan from 30 feet upwards.

If you are setting range to 70m then just get right in close, fill the circle (Bf109), squeeze the trigger and close your eyes

Sorry for this noob question , but where do you set your convergence and wing span ingame?
I figured out how to set the gun sight though...

Convergence is in the plane setup menu, with gun belting.

Wingspan is a setting of the gunsight, you must do it while in the cockpit, by playing with the knobs below the reflector gunsight.
