Many Thanks.
Most wide angle lens should work for it. They are very cheap.

I do not want to do OffTopic. I wish the best for AIMTRACK lightgun, and I will love to see that lightguns for Pc are a growing market.
Also I wish that people that get dissapointed with TOPGUN gets a nice experience now.

I just posted that vids because I read that RandyT has a Topgun inbox thinking that is not accurate like a guncon2

-Bet Regards

I think a lot of that had to do with the distance and the space between the bars.  Being able to get that close to them gets you a much brighter reference.

The accuracy you are showing is very impressive, but your video brought back to me something that I had forgotten about.....lag.  It's not horrible,  but it was something I noticed while playing.  The AimTrak definitely looks better in that department, and the GunCons are pretty much "real time" in contrast.

Still, a very cool mod you did with the lens.  There was a lot of speculation as to whether that would work and it's neat to see that someone succeeded with it.  Makes me want to find one and re-visit the hardware. :)

Cut Ultimarc some slack and wait for the 1.1 fix. (I'm pretty confident a solution exists like what I suggested above, but my post probably flew over the heads of most).

I second that.  It was getting a bit nasty.  ::)
Patience folks.  Now everyone back to their room for a timeout  ;)

Third'ed. Randy, I think it's fine for you to try to help Andy and your motives may be 100% pure, but diving into the engineering implementation details adds no value to this thread because that's only relevant to you and Andy. I think it would be better to take up that discussion with him via PM. I know it sucks, but as a competitor you need to tread very lightly when it comes to questioning/critiquing a competitor's product, even if you don't have a similar product and have no plans for one. Right or wrong, it's just way too easy for you to come across as a jerk, as evidenced by some of the reactions you've gotten.

Seems like this isn't the first time this issue has come up (I could be thinking of something else though). Hopefully you can find a good balance on that tightrope you're on. I hope you take this as an attempt to be helpful because I am not angry or trying to jump on you.
