Realism be hanged in this instance.

yes.

this is the better option, or the "loosen shoulder straps" view leans you to the right. pretty much how gunsight view worked in 1946 in fact.

You only need to have the "head movement restriction" while in gunsight mode REMOVED
It makes the gunsight view just like in the original IL2FB.

Rememeber please, if you are interested in this thing happening, to post your request ("remove head movement restriction while in gunsight mode") in the "bucket list"

Non TrackIR users, NewView center Bf109 gunsight without using "loosing straps".

Thanks for the video Sokol, wow!!!!!

Hmm, is there a manual in English? I foud the manual of version v33 but it is in Russian (looks Greek to me... )

I use TrackIR without NewView and do not use Gunsight View at all, just centre the TrackIR accordingly to have Revi in front of me. I assume you can do the same with FreeTrack if you do not want to learn using NewView.

You already mentioned it some time ago, thanks for the comments Ataros, let me check some things next time I fire-up my game PC and I will come back to you.
You see, I tried that last time and it does not work for me:
With TRACK IR on, I cannot move the screen.
I have to disable TRACKIR to move with the mouse and center the screen around the gunsight.
As soon as I re-enable TRACKIR, it jumps to the normal centered mode
I must be missing something stupidly obvious...

(I do not have 6DOF, if that is the prohibiting reason, I do not know. Well I do have the hardware but it is somewhere among dozens of cartos in a warehouse and we have 43 degrees C outside so, not highly motivating to go search for it...)

I use 6dof because left-to-right movement is assigned to x axis I believe which you do not have in 3dof. Without 6dof NewView is the solution I think.

With 6dof you lean left, press TIR center button, get back to vertical posture and this does the trick. The response is not 100% symmetrical in this case but it is hardly noticeable when you adjust response curves to your preference.

Try Freetrack if you have time it should support 6dof I think.

No let it stay as it is now! I like it! With Track ir 5 its ok!

Yep works nicely.
