Revi Sight Fix?

Lean left and then center trackIR.

In 46, you could center your view on the reticle. This was atleast a workaround.

Doesn't work in CloD. You can still get that view, but cou can't look around anymore.

I wouldn't call it a major issue myself, but then this topic does not rate this issue or demands that this should be the priority to work on.

Thats what I do currently but its not a great solution to the problem, you need to recentre every now and again which you shouldn't need to do.

Either they should change the fixed position so that you can look around properly or make it so that the rectile is fully displayed on the revi...

I feel like the only person who doesn't use the "tighten straps" command.

I don't use it either

I don't re-center the TIR, either though. I just lean my head.

IMO it's just a matter of getting used to it; the shots I miss are because my gunnery isn't great, not because I can't find the reticle.

In the original IL2 and IL2-1946 you did puch the keys ctrl+F1...strange is it not?!

If they were really interested in realism, the 109 revi sight would look like this...



The right eye sees the entire sight (without having to lean) and the brain extrapolates it over the left side of the picture that it sees. The fine adjustments on the revi sight are to allow the pilot to set up the sight's position so that this optical illusion works for him. Should another pilot hop in the seat he would have to probably fine tune it for himself. Left-eye dominant pilots would have a harder time, but I've been told it's something that you can train yourself to do in short order.

The principal works very much like a holosight one would see on a rifle/pistol.

Naturally there would be field of view blurring and slight doubling of the revi glass, and the gauges under it, but sometimes compromises have to be made. It's really funny how "the leaders in realistic flight sims" don't already know all this and have implemented it into the game, or at least made it an option.

(cue people not understanding how vision/the brain's interpretation of objects works and getting mad at this post)

Only if you're right-eye dominant.

Oh yeah, letz get on that bandwagon again! It was soo funny back then! That one guy even made a new account in order to re-post his worked-on screenshot! Good Times!

The 109 Gunsight's placing is correct in CoD. If you want to go on whining, buy a 3D monitor (and implore CoD on implementing 3D mode of course. Judging from the past, this will be the easy part...).
