Cannot set convergence below 100m (.conv)

S!

Is it true that when we select 99m or less the guns conv are stuck at 100m ?

Have not heard this before. AFAIK, convergences can be set below 100m.

Yes its true, you can set 60 or whatever but minimum it will actually go is 100

Was like this. Since 1.33 I think

interesting (haven't flown since 1.31 so...)

Moved this to the bug forum btw.

Just do some searches in the Hangar threads from around when 1.33 went live. You actually were NEVER able to set convergence below 100m. No matter which number smaller then 100 you wrote after .conv your convergence was always 100m. It was ALWAYS hardcoded this way as per DOC's explanation.

Well yeah you could type below 100 but wouldnt get it.

what the patch did was standardize the convergence settings, as previously you could have 2 settings on 1 plane.

For instance MG could of had a minimum of 100 and cannons a minimum of 150, so you could type .conv 90 and actually get 100 for mg and 150 for the cannon.

The patch made it so all guns would be set the same with a minimum of 100.

Thats my Understanding of it all

I would like to set it 90/80/70 to try : CRS, anything possible for this problem, soon(tm) ?

Evidently each gun from the older models had its own "floor" for convergence settings. The floor is now 100m, as opposed to say 125 or 150.

And, no molders, you can't have your cake shoot from farther out!

[DOC]

you can set convergance to anything between 100m and 800m, but all guns are set to the same distance, you cannot individualize pairs of guns like you can in Aces High

default .conv (if you don't set your own) is 100m

if you set .conv outside 100-800m (above or below this range) you will get the default setting (100m)
