Ta, Jimmy....i've already been assimilated into the Track-IR collective, though. It's too late for me, save yourself!...etc...etc.

I think this one is by far the best , you can see just where it was mounted in the dash

and here is a nice photo that lets you know how close you are to it

To keep both sides happy:
Leave the default view the way it is please! It feels right and is easy to use.

But do whatever you want with the Shift + F1 as I'm sure the 6DOF crowd (like me) don't use it or need it.

Pilots did alter their position slightly to use gun sights, I've read this in many accounts, even for centred mounted ones, they would hunch forward a bit.

The post is pointless really, since the devs won't (shouldn't) look past the title. You can go back to playing wings of hawks now Lixma.

I don't think the sperglords here would appreciate that much realism. It would make them feel bad about their TrackIR purchases losing some edge against mouse/hat people.

I thought about offering this idea in the first place but thought that, aesthetically, a centralized Revi would be a better idea.

But, yeah. If we're after realism then something like that picture is the way to go.

Can you bind viewing position/angles? Since, in theory, everyone have 6-DoF view now, even without Track IR, I would think you could use keyboard keys to shift the head around to center it on the sights, and then save it as a view position favorite.

In fact, considering that we should now all have 6DoF, I would think it only reasonable to be able to define your own hotkey view positions.

i would like press shift f-1 but without zoom.

A simple key press to align the gunsight, but without that awful zoom feature, is all that is needed to keep everyone happy.
Like in the old series.

The uber realism crowd can simply ignore it, and those who don't mind conceding that tiny bit of realism can use it. Simple. Everyone is happy.

And about the realism...are icons and big arrows realistic? What about external views?
Maps? Minimap paths? Info windows?
Give me a break.
