Could 6-DoF ever be available in 4.2 if players could forgive small Graphics issues

Oh I have seen the result of the guy, who thought, that was a good idea... disgusting!

The reason for the bad view in game is the problem, that is this thread about: the ugly fixed PoV. You demand (sorry I understand it that way) from us, that we should change the model instead of looking for a good solution? I really cannot go with that foulty solution. What about all other planes? Each one of them is suffering from fixed PoV! Thats a fact!

Caspar, I am not demanding anything. I am asking TD to fix something that is long overdue. This question of the Tempest backplate has been rumbling along since the Tempest was introduced.

I am not demanding that you change the model if there is another way. I only suggested that as a possible way to solve the problem because you said the cockpit was correct so I assumed there was some other kind of visual/scaling issue which might require a 'cheat' to overcome it. Why else would the problem not have been addressed before?

If the geometry of the cockpit is correct, if you are confident that moving the eyepoint will solve the problem without making the other views ridiculous I don't understand why such a simple change, presumably known for some time, to such an important aircraft has not been done before and is still only now "maybe move POV".

I have seen the mods compromise and I agree it is much too far the other way but at least its an attempt to fix it. Like the argument over the 6 DOF question causing minor graphics glitches, the value of an imperfect but improved and more realistic view far outweighs the penalty of a perfectly wrong view but I agree the mod goes too far. We used to have a saying for achieving objectives, "almost right rather than precisely wrong"

I do understand all that, I move eyepoints in FSX, but I assumed there was a more complex problem because such a simple solution has not been implemented before now.
