Trying to move the yellow aiming circle down

I am trying to move a aiming circle lower in a panel and the guns also. any suggestion and advice? Thanks :dizzy::dizzy::pop4:
 
In your panel.cfg (open with notepad) near the top you should have a [VIEWS] paragraph, something like:

[VIEWS] view_forward_WINDOWS=%window_title_00%
VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=2.6, 0.0, 0.0
VIEW_FORWARD_ZOOM=0.85
VIEW_RIGHT_ZOOM=0.85
VIEW_LEFT_ZOOM=0.85
VIEW_REAR_ZOOM=.25
VIEW_FORWARD_UP_ZOOM=0.24

It is the value for VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=2.6, 0.0, 0.0 that you want to adjust to raise or lower the bullet stream in your gunsight. Raise or lower the DIR=2.6 by increments of 0.1 to raise or lower the stream slightly. Save the file, delete any .cdp file in the aircraft folder and give the plane a try, Repeat as necessary until the bullet stream is where you want it.

Use a utility called AimIt to change gun convergence distance.

I had to change my user identity in Win10 in order to fix the appearance of thi post.

That may be overkill and need some clean up of the post it self.

Another thing you may be able to do is edit the panel.cfg [Default View] section. It looks like this.

[Default View]
X=0
Y=0
SIZE_X=8191
SIZE_Y=5000

Try change the SIZE_Y. A smaller number will move things upwards and a larger will move things down. I think 6000 is the max Y value.
 
There's also a utility out there called Aim_it that allows you to do it through an interface much faster and easier if you aren't comfortable opening and modifying the files yourself.
