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

[Ataros]

I use TrackIR without NewView and do not use Gunsight View at all, just centre the TrackIR accordingly to have Revi in front of me. I assume you can do the same with FreeTrack if you do not want to learn using NewView.

You already mentioned it some time ago, thanks for the comments Ataros, let me check some things next time I fire-up my game PC and I will come back to you.
You see, I tried that last time and it does not work for me:
With TRACK IR on, I cannot move the screen.
I have to disable TRACKIR to move with the mouse and center the screen around the gunsight.
As soon as I re-enable TRACKIR, it jumps to the normal centered mode
I must be missing something stupidly obvious...

(I do not have 6DOF, if that is the prohibiting reason, I do not know. Well I do have the hardware but it is somewhere among dozens of cartos in a warehouse and we have 43 degrees C outside so, not highly motivating to go search for it...)

I use 6dof because left-to-right movement is assigned to x axis I believe which you do not have in 3dof. Without 6dof NewView is the solution I think.

With 6dof you lean left, press TIR center button, get back to vertical posture and this does the trick. The response is not 100% symmetrical in this case but it is hardly noticeable when you adjust response curves to your preference.

Try Freetrack if you have time it should support 6dof I think.

Please leave the gun sight where it is now! I like to have as much of the handicaps a real pilot was faced with. With trackIR I just like to train my abs and have fun the same time. Makes it all a little less passive and thus more realistic.

Yes, this is how I feel when I hear "famous last words" like the one before....



So how on earth do you know this RE77ACTION? You have been flying so much the real Bf109 that you know what the real thing is...
Sorry for becoming personal.


OK, this overspilled the glass.

I am a bit busy for the next hours, I will post some photos of how the gunsight looked like in front of the pilot's face in order to get this "reality" thing in place
