Fw-190 Bar.. once and for all...

[LEXX]

The picture showing blue line labeled "with refraction" indicates a bar that is somewhat lower than in the sim, relative to the revi.

Is this Correct Thinking? Its been a few years since I played The FB.

Very slightly, if at all.

The photograph should be reviewed with care, though:

1. There is no seat in this FW190D13 as you can see from the other pictures taken, so the photograph is guessing the point of view of the pilot inflight.

2. There is no engine and no nose attached, so the photographer is also guessing on the angle of view.

3. If this photograph was taken to model the view in a FW190, the overall visibility should be largely decreased compared to this:


IMHO there are much better pictures from inside complete FW190s present.

Notice Bear has vanished. Maybe he is hibernating to digest all the salmon caught with this.

How the revi works ... I thought it was a collimated display therefore reticle size would not vary as distance from the combining glass changes. That is a basic reason for the the reflector gunsights very existence. You will with most reflector sights have view angle limitations but reticle size should not vary with eye to glass distance.

There is something not quite right with this video. I suspect the optics in this sight are not original.

Depending how accurate the drawing is, did anyone notice the size of the 'bar'?

[LEXX]

Maybe its not a bar. Perhaps a pin. Windshield glass create high magnification.

While we're at it...


The FW190 is not the only plane with such a problem.

Look here... The mythical "lateral-vertical" bar of the Macchi C.202 !!
