I often lose the flightpath of my enemy
I often lose the flightpath of my enemy (after struggling like mad to get in position ), because the cockpit framing gets in the way. But I wouldnt fly without the cockpit on.
Does anyone else have this problem? How do you get around it? |
A solution is: switch between gunsightview and normal view. I think the standard key is shift + F1?!
|
Thats another reason why I use tight icons.

I like the idea of flying without icons, but I always have more fun with the "range/color" icon's on. I wish that their was a way to have just the color on without the range (or other information). |
Have you tried Padlock? It works great.
Padlock simulates the real life function of 'locking' your eyes to a particular object. Seems like this is what you are trying to do...:) Aviar |
I think padlock would still give me the same problem, ( I currently use TIR 4). I too am interested in what a tight icon is? It makes sense to use an icon to kind of help track an aircraft, but I feel icons distract from the reality.

right now they blend in to much, and to get a realistic viewing/tracking distance we need to add some artificial increased visibility (limited icons) i really hope for BoB the lod models will stand out better ! |
Padlock?... PADLOCK??!!!!
Did Johnny Johnson have padlock? Did Galland have padlock? Did Gentile have padlock? nngggggggggggggg!!!!!!! Use your eyes man... by god, if you were in my regiment..... ermm, no, wrong game..... ermmm.... anyway, I hate that padlock and wonderwoman stuff. I'd rather die from my own (frequent) failings than suffer the additional embarassment of being killed whilst using artificial 'aids'. <Padlock.... hhrrrrummmmffffff..... nnnnggggg......> and yes, the framework does get in the way and shifting site view doesn't help in the 109 @ 10 o'clock and I can't see over the P38 side frame. Roll on SOW and 6DOF!! |

Master your favorite first...
Stick to flying only one aircraft type until you are able to work around that aircrafts "limitations" (this takes a lot of time and patients). When that is achieved you will find that your tactics for that type aircraft: scanning, tracking, engaging and egress all become better because of this. I agree full real settings with cockpit on is the only way to go.
Good Hunting |
