a couple of ideas to have a sim that FEELS more realistic

[raaaid]

first wonderwoman view is not right cause you cant see underneath the plane

but neither is cockpit on cause bars dont block view, we have two eyes

so i propose to make a cockpit that is a methamorphosis from a extreme right perspective and an extrem left perspective and with no bars at all, something that feels like this:

on the other hand theres the problem of tags on tags off

the problem is that you normally use wide view but in reality see like gunsight view

well combine best from both worlds and give planes the position of wide view but the size of gunsight view to allow recognaisance

so it feels real thoug seems strange

in any art you make it more real by using tricks that are actually unrealistic

but neither is cockpit on cause bars dont block view, we have two eyes

Yes they do... Yes they do. Two eyes or not, they sure do block the views.

[raaaid]

eyes are 10 cm apart

is there any bar bigger than 10 cm?

in case of war people really do think things

edit:

also this would help on uniformity on the online comunity

now theres so many ways to play the game its crazy, divide and you will win

Very true.

Even with binocular vision bars still obscure sight in that relative direction, the advantage IRL is in being to see around them by moving your head, not through them like Superman.

6DOF gives a simulation of this ability to change visual perspective but it's very limited.

Maybe with stereoscopic graphics a better simulation of binocular vision might be possible.

[raaaid]

yes im also waiting for the game to go stereoscopic

i use the cross eyed method

now i can even see double at will like if i was drunk

Actually Raaid is right about cockpit bars not blocking vision.

Because you have 2 eyes you can see past narrow things without having to move your head..

If you're near a window try it..

Look at a lampost with one eye closed, cover it with one finger at arms length.

Open your other eye and now try and block the lampost with your finger.. You can't. You'll also notice you can see 2 of your finger.

It's just monocular versus binocualr. Obviously you can't get any depth perception with one lense so you can't see past things that in RL you'd be able to.

There's no way to recreate it using a standard monitor. It's either behind the cockpit bar or not.

Raaaid seriously......go outside.....I am genuinely concerned for your mental health.
