Can we change the angle of the rounds? Mine seem to want to angle up maybe lower so they are more horizontal to the aircraft?

You can change the location and angles of all the weapons in the CSWeapon/xml file:

<Weapon>
<Gun>M61 Vulcan</Gun>
<Shell>Vulcan Bullet</Shell>
<Unlimited>0</Unlimited>
<Station name="Nose" params="0,9,0,0,-0.039,0,1200" />
<Mode name="AUTO" shotrate="100" setshots="0" sequence="1" skipFrm="0" />
<Mode name="X10" shotrate="100" setshots="100" sequence="1" skipFrm="0" />
<DefaultMode>AUTO</DefaultMode>
</Weapon>

These are the settings I changed on the A2A WOP3 Spitfire:

<Station name="Left Wing Outer" params="-4.0,0,-0.5,0,-0.017,0,200" />
<Station name="Left Wing Inner" params="-3.0,0,-0.5,0,-0.017,0,200" />
<Station name="Right Wing Inner" params="3.0,0,-0.5,0,-0.017,0,200" />
<Station name="Right Wing Outer" params="4.0,0,-0.5,0,-0.017,0,200" />

With those changes, I changed the location, and the angle of the guns (M60C) on the wings, so that at a certain range, the lined up with the gun sight reticle.

It took a lot of hard work and messing around (make a change, reload the aircraft, check out the results, then do it all again until I achieved what I want) to get what I wanted, but in the end it was well worth it. :)

I am trying to do something similar - to lower the gunsight and obviously the line of fire accordingly to line up with a Spitfire's Reflector gunsight reticle. My existing settings are:
<WeaponInfo>
        <!-- aircraft dependent weapon settings -->
        <Weapon>
            <!-- weapon sub-type section. unlimited number of -->
            <Gun>M60C</Gun>
            <!-- weapon sub-type name. must match GunInfo>Gun>Name -->
            <Shell>M60C Bullet</Shell>
            <!-- shell name. must match GunInfo>Shell>Name -->
            <Unlimited>1</Unlimited>
            <!-- unlimited ammo fire. 1-yes, 0-no -->
            <Station name="Left Wing Outer" params="-4.0,0,-0.5,0,-0.017,0,200" />
            <Station name="Left Wing Inner" params="-3.0,0,-0.5,0,-0.017,0,200" />
            <Station name="Left Wing Middle" params="-2.0,0,-0.5,0,-0.017,0,200" />
            <Station name="Right Wing Middle" params="-2.0,0,-0.5,0,-0.017,0,200" />
            <Station name="Right Wing Inner" params="3.0,0,-0.5,0,-0.017,0,200" />
            <Station name="Right Wing Outer" params="4.0,0,-0.5,0,-0.017,0,200" />
            <!-- Station position (x,y,z) meters, angle of incidence, ammo units quantity -->
            <Mode name="AUTO" shotrate="10" setshots="0" sequence="1+2+3+4+5+6" />
            <!-- fire mode section. unlimited number of. name= dispayed on HUD in weapon info string. -->
            <Mode name="X10" shotrate="10" setshots="10" sequence="1+2+3+4+5+6" />
            <DefaultMode>AUTO</DefaultMode>
            <!-- default fire mode. Any from the list above  -->

How do I lower the aiming point?

Thanks

It's like this:

<Station name="Left Wing Outer" params="-4.0(x),0(y),-0.5(z),0(p),-0.017(h),0(b),200(qty)"/>

X = Left or Right of the Centre of Gravity (CG) of the aircraft (distance in metres)
Y = Up or Down of the Centre of Gravity (CG) of the aircraft (distance in metres)
Z = Forward or Backward of the Centre of Gravity (CG) of the aircraft (distance in metres)
P = Pitch (tilt Up or Down)
H = Heading (yaw Left or Right)
B = Bank (tilt Left or Right)
QTY = Amount/number (Quantity) of ammo/missiles

So that the setting above is:

X = 4 metres to the Left
Y = 0 metres Up/Down
Z = 0.5 metres Backward (I  think) of the centre of the aircraft
P = 0^o pitch (firing on the same plane as the pitch of the aircraft)
H = -0.017^o ((I  believe) pointed slightly inwards towards the aircraft centreline)
B = 0^o bank ((I believe that) banking is not necessary for bullets or cannon shells (bombs aren't supported in Weapons for FSX)
QTY = 200 rounds of ammo (200 bullets)

So you will  need to mess with the Pitch, and Heading, to  get the bullets to head towards the Spitfire's Reflector Gunsite Reticle. It's a painstaking task, but in the end, satisfying to get the result you desire. I put in many hours doing a Weapon for FSX mod for the Captain Sim C-130 X-perience's AC-130 Bofor, Howitzer, and Minigun, only to lose all of it in a HDD crash. I get so upset every time I think of redoing it, and the frustration has not allowedf me to redo it. Yeah. I quit on it, which is something that rarely happens (usually once I realize that I simply can't do something anymore).

Many thanks for your comprehensive reply.

Kind regards
