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

[JG4_Helofly]

I am using Track ir, so no problem with the gunsight. I set the neutral position slightly to the right and voilà! gunsight centered, problem solved.
But for people without track ir, it would be good to have an off center default view, because using shift+F1 is very annoying.

Just don't put the revi in the center! Cod is supposed to be a simulation and not an arcade air combat game!

Why is visible reticle realistic? Just curious as I don't understand.

I want the bouncing needles back Stormcrow, lol. The cut out was way over done and you know it.

On a serious note though, I think they went a bit too far the other way RE: Cut out TBH, but that's for another thread.

Just having a laugh man, this is always par for the course.
'The Battle of France is over....Now the Battle of the Sim Forums is upon us'. I fly both sides, lots of love for the 109 too.

You do realize the sight only reflects on the small rectangular piece of glass, not the entire cockpit Hence the angle of the small piece of glass.

Ding Ding, we have a winnah!

Hell, lets just mount a Merlin to the 109s while we're at it.

You do realize how Revi sights worked?

The Revi was used with both eyes open. The reticle image was formed fully on the right eye. No leaning necessary.

Think most pople with TrackIR completly missed whats been asked for.


Keep the ctrl F1 but make it like in IL2, that is, no zoom.

With ctrl F1, as it is now, u CANNOT look 135 degrees to the sides or look back.

U have the massive canopy bars on the sides right in the field of view when lookin left and right with ctrlF1 enabled and zoomed in as icing on the cake.


Realistic, dont think so.

Your wrong, you had to lean with slightly with the 109 and 190.

You know, that wouldn,t be unrealistic at all.

A Buchon is the bastard stepdaughter of a 109.

Fine, in that case we should all petition so that everyone else have to press ctlrF2 to lean forward and hence get the zoomed in restricted field of view per default.

U know, im perfectly capable irl of leaning to the right WITHOUT zooming in/lean forward.

I mean, we all want it to be realistic, right?
