Default BF109 - Can't we just have the gunsight in the middle?

Seriously.

Over a decade of faffing about with Shift-F1, leaning over, loosening straps or whatever...i'm weary of it. Just place the damned thing in the centre of the dash! Is anyone really going to be put out by such a minor concession to usability?

Realism be hanged in this instance.

A much more sensible concession would be to simply make the default center view for the 109 (and pretty much all other German aircraft for that matter) line up with the gun-sight.

With TRKIR here is a trick that might get it to the centre for you as a pseudo default.

1. Centre Track IR before going in game.
2. Select your 109 aircraft.
3. In game move your Head LEFT until you loose the Reticle completely, hold your head there.
4. With your head position frozen as in STEP 3 Re centre Track IR
5. Move head to its neutral position .. Bingo new centre is looking straight at the revi.

Who needs a gunsight? No really, you only need the horizontal line of it.

Apparently so.

In this thread we've learned that BF-109 pilots really did close one eye and lean over to the right just to be able to see the gunsight.

Therefore to maintain such high standards of historical accuracy the player should have to do the same.

After all it's not a 'semi-lation'!

nice pic wolf, but whom ever took the picture was not sitting in the plane (unless he had no legs) and it is not centered its to the left which exaggerated the off center position of the revi.
The revi being off center is fine but the Zooming forward i do not think is realistic (unless someone has source to prove other wise i would like to see it)

The cockpit of a 109 is like the drivers seat of a sub compact car with the seat pushed ALL the way forward!

I have more of an issue with the Stuka in this regard. When locked into the sight you cannot look far enough to the left or right enough to be able to judge your dive angle.

IMHO for the Stuka you shoould be able to llok further to the right when locked into the sight so you can see the angle lines on the cockpit.

otherwise accurate dive bombing is really quite difficult.
