Maybe you need a stationary target "Shooting Gallery". Try this link to a mission I uploaded to FileFront and get a shot of courage back. The install instructions are in the Readme. The mission will appear in the "Quick Mission" menu of the game. Set your Realism options to whatever you like. The mission was to compare my mod to the standard game for accuracy, but you can use it for practice.

I also have another mission with a fat juicy tanker cutting across your bow, which could help in your recovery. Try this download link:

Take these two pills, and call me in the morning.
