Tool to set gun convergence

[Yardstick]

Is there a tool to adjust convergence settings for aircraft guns?

 

In IL-2:GB I would consider myself to be a v. good shot but in CoD I have never been able to hit a thing with default convergence.   Having previously set up custom convergence setting for pretty much all the various fighters in the game (including Tobruk aircraft), I was still not getting the results I would expect - consistently underestimating the deflection on easy shots.  Now I think I have finally worked out that the bore-sighting of the guns seems to be too low (at least compared to all other sims I have flown) and after adjusting my vertical convergence to 400m (I think the units are meters in CoD), I get similar results to the default (non-adjustable) vertical convergence setting in IL-2:GB.

 

Life is too short to go through each aircraft individually in-game re-setting the values for all guns.   There must be an easier way to do this or at the very least, a way to cut and paste values into text files - any help would be much appreciated.

Convergence can be adjusted in main menu > Plane > Loadout > Guns, can set vertical and horizontal for each pair of machine guns or cannons.

 

Are tools, see in ATAG download section that  allow set ammo belts and converge outside of game.

Thanks, was looking for something quicker than the in game tool. 

 

80 to 90 fighters, some with 12 guns each! - probably looking at 2 or more mind-numbingly boring hours adjusting that lot!  Pre Tobruk you could adjust convergence as needed before each mission in the 'Player Plane' menu but now you have to do it from the main menu which is v. clunky.  Would be nice if we were able to adjust loadouts across a single aircraft type (at least where the armaments are the same). 

 

Will see if I can track down the tool but had read it was not updated for Tobruk.

The 3rd part softwares is cumbersome like the in game menu option.

The fast way is manually editing the user.ini file in Documents\1C SoftClub... dover\ for each plane.
