- - Revi Sight Fix? (http://forum.fulqrumpublishing.com/showthread.php?t=33798)

Hi B6,

Are the guys working on the gunsights corrections/solution?

I.e. the target needs to be centred!

I think that requires further explination Krupi. ;)

They look fine to me Krup.

.
I think it is the right deportation of the german revi gunsight? is it not?
If it is then it is normal the German pilot should use their right eye to shoot down the RAF planes in the BF109 it was always so even in the first IL2! ;) And in reality also! :o

It's a schematic of the FW-190. Look carefully.....

Make a note of....

a) the center-line.

b) the sight-line.

c) the position of the reticle

d) the horizontal separation between centre-line and sight-line - 40mm.

Now grab a tape measure, find a mirror and measure the distance from the centre of your nose to the middle of your right pupil.....

Mine is 37mm.

The offset Revi gunsight is installed to sit directly in the right eye's line of sight.

No leaning required.

Here's a link to the full image....I'd post it here but it's a bit big....3mb.

:D

When Lixma first came out with this I was dead against it and was on the "lean to see" side of the argument but I have come to the same understanding.

Its all about right eye dominant, in reality the sight would have looked more to the centre than it actually is.

Imho, the reticle should be put right in the middle. Not the sight itself, but the reticle only. The only possible way, considering the technical limitations. They could even make it an option, so those people who prefer to lean all the time can keep it like that.

You know if you use the keys ctrl+f1 you see the reticule in the right place!

This is, IMO, a really minor issue. We all dealt with it just fine in 1946.

There are much more pressing matters for the devs to attend to IMO.

And do you know that doing that severly limits your field of view DURRRHHHH!

I've never had a problem with this. Sure... it does limit FOV but, considering you can only take on one target at a time and should be firing in short controlled bursts....... not really a problem. Track.... zoom.... aim.... bang... unzoom. Over in seconds. :)
