Should another pilot hop in the seat he would have to probably fine tune it for himself. Left-eye dominant pilots would have a harder time, but I've been told it's something that you can train yourself to do in short order.
The principal works very much like a holosight one would see on a rifle/pistol.
Naturally there would be field of view blurring and slight doubling of the revi glass, and the gauges under it, but sometimes compromises have to be made. It's really funny how "the leaders in realistic flight sims" don't already know all this and have implemented it into the game, or at least made it an option.
(cue people not understanding how vision/the brain's interpretation of objects works and getting mad at this post) |
A lot of people would probably think that it is a bug, when they fired up the game for the first time and the sight/reticle would look like in the screenshot above.
Without the background info of this thread (I missed any previous thread on this topic), I would think so too, probably.
But now, since I know a bit more (thanks for educating me), I would actually prefer, if they'd change it, like seen in the montage or at least give us the option.
Yeah, I know there's more important things to fix/optimize and whining about it doesn't change sh.t, but I'm just sayin': I'd like it!
