exactly.

I too had initially some difficulties to understand this but due to the extraordinary patience by some I finally understood it. In fact both eyes open would make the cross appear somehow floating in the air and a little transparent. You can get a similar effect when you hold up your hand in front of one of your eyes at a small distance and then stare just in front of you with both eyes open (don't look at your hand). Your hand will "move" slightly to the other side (towards the eye with no hand in front of you) and get transparent. A similar thing would happen with the gunsight. That would be the closest thing to reality and would circumvent the awkward thing we have right now.

BTW: I also learnt that when using gunsights with shotguns it will be done with both eyes open too and the effect will be similar.

I don't need no stinking gunsight... I use the Force!!!

What you say is correct but i don't know if it's worth the effort at this point compared to other bugs, that's all i was trying to say: there are workarounds for the gunsight issue but no workarounds for other issues that affect gameplay, so i place more importance on the latter.

It's just a matter of preference really

Mate, it's as simple as pie. Lean your head a bit to the left, press F9 and then move your head back to your original center position, you'll be looking through the gunsight now.

Is it ideal? No it isn't.
Is it doable? Of course it is, it's recentering your trackIR.

If you can't recenter it, maybe it's the profiler software/drivers that are at fault? I would backup my profiles and do an uninstall/reinstall of my trackIR software in such a case.

Sorry, i still think fixing the Ju88's gyrocompass is more important simply because people can dogfight in the 109 every day by using this workaround, but we can't bomb in the Ju88 unless the gyrocompass that controls the autopilot is fixed: we have two aircraft, one can do what it's supposed to do, the other can't.

+1 for the JU-88 gyrocompass fix!

NO, it is NOT a workaround as it DON'T work. With F9 I just pause TrackIR so that I can no longer use TrackIR. I may move it as you described but as soon as I turn on TrackIR again (in order to use it), it takes me back to default centre. I tried it. Others tried it. It never worked. Only valid conclusion: With TrackIR working it is not possible to shift the centre.

I use this all the time
