and that is the extent of your answer ? even with your trackir, if CoD is not configured correctly on your system then the 109 aircraft you are looking at in our example will still be the wrong size in most CoD player setups

the question still is: how can you make sure that the onscreen displayed distant aircraft in your CoD gunsight reticle is 100% displayed correctly in the right size on your pc screen, ie that this distant 109 at 100 meters from you is indeed displayed as a 10 cm wide object on the screen in front of you, and is 1:1 correct size comparison as you would see it from that fighter aircraft in real life with the naked eye on the real gunsight reticle ?

note: we are presuming the pc viewers eyes are at a relatively normal viewing distance from the pc monitor in front of them, and for the purpose of this example they are at the same distance from their pc screen as they would be in the real cockpit from the real gunsight reticle

anyone ?

farber, why dont you measure it on your monitor. make a quick mission with icons on (so you see the distance tag) and a friendly 109, fly 100 or 200 meters directly behind him at 6 'o'clock and have him in your gunsight reticle (which will confirm his exact distance from you), pause game at right moment, measure 109 wingspan on screen

since you havnt produced the answer yet, i suspect you are flying around like oliver in liliput land , and the 109 in front of you is about 30% to small

so whats the answer then ? how can you make sure CoD is correctly configured so that distant 109 is the "right size" (same size as it would be seen with the naked eye from a similar viewing position in real life)
