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

nice pic wolf, but whom ever took the picture was not sitting in the plane (unless he had no legs) and it is not centered its to the left which exaggerated the off center position of the revi.
The revi being off center is fine but the Zooming forward i do not think is realistic (unless someone has source to prove other wise i would like to see it)

The cockpit of a 109 is like the drivers seat of a sub compact car with the seat pushed ALL the way forward!

Whilst in cockpit, in legacy view, hold right mouse button down, and drag mouse slightly to the right.

Head view should now be aligned with the sight reticule, and any subsequent movement of the hat-switch, will recentre to your new position; until you activate another set view, which will restore the centre default position.

Then press CTRL-E...

Ta, Jimmy....i've already been assimilated into the Track-IR collective, though. It's too late for me, save yourself!...etc...etc.

... who aims with a mouse button in a flightsim? You better go and "play" birds of prey, sorry.
All this move your head to the right twist a bit and close your eye shit is crap, nobody ever aimed like that!

what you're saying there flies in the face of historical accuracy which has been presented... can you back up, with historically accurate data, what you're whinging about there?

historical accuracy? HA! From where do you get your "historical accuracy"?

Unfortunately I cant ask this former pilot anymore because he is dead for 6 years now but he would tell you the same and by the way, I am not whining! I just state something concerning that "highly accurate" flightsim!

(but dont get me wrong, apart from certain "bugs" its a great new sim and I like it they only should have ironed out the many bugs before releasing the game)

If they change the position of the gunsight of german aircraft I will snap my CD in half.

Go fly another plane or play another game if you don't like this one.

oh for crying out loud. its not that freakin hard to aim in a 109.

i have track ir3 and with a little tweaking to my profile it works just fine with the me109 gunsight.

good grief, next thing you know people will be asking to get rid of the bouncy gauges and the spits neg g cut out .

Ahahahahaha, if you ever manage to shoot down Jimmy just one time in your flying time, you'll feel like a real winner

I think what Rattlehead suggests is the best solution.
We're walking in a grey area when it comes to defending absolute realism in a pc flight simulator, therefore it might be wise to get it like in IL-2.
