Considering the Position of the Fulmar MGs
« on: September 17, 2023, 11:59:20 AM »

Hi All ,

Yes I still use HSFX 7.0.3 , I know , I know.
Here's a situation I noticed while working on some Fulmar skins ( not available yet ).
I noticed that the horizontal position of the Fulmar's Browning .303s gunflashes in the game
WHEN FIRING are not aligned. I wasn't sure precisely what they should be , so I started exploring.
A couple of things I discovered.
1) The MG muzzles in the Fulmar were ( uncharacteristically in other Brit fighters of the time )
    higher than the frontal curve of the wing leadin edge.
2) The MGs were indeed algined vertically in respect to the line of the leading edge - that is
    they should all be in the same horizontal height above the wing leading edge when viewing it
    from the frontal aspect of the aircraft.
I captured an ingame image of the Fulmar guns firing but I can't get the damn image to display.
If one looks at a detail of a Fulmar wing photo it is easy to see that the MGs are all aligned exactly.

Check it out let me know if I am more insane than I think that I am - and that is something in itself hoo baby !
I don't know if Fulmar changes have been made to corect this issue post HSFX , just thought someone
might be interested in correcting it sometime.
