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

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 .

actually, I want a digital gauges because the needles......

The point being is that it should not require any effort at all to see the reticle on the BF-109.

Leaning to the right = not realistic.

Shift-F1 = not realistic.

Messing about with mouse = not realistic.

Centralised Revi = not realistic.

As witnessed here by the wailing and gnashing of teeth people seem to rate 'cosmetic realism' above 'functional realism'.

Visible reticle = Realistic.

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.

I think this one is by far the best , you can see just where it was mounted in the dash


and here is a nice photo that lets you know how close you are to it



S!

To keep both sides happy:
Leave the default view the way it is please! It feels right and is easy to use.

But do whatever you want with the Shift + F1 as I'm sure the 6DOF crowd (like me) don't use it or need it.

Pilots did alter their position slightly to use gun sights, I've read this in many accounts, even for centred mounted ones, they would hunch forward a bit.

The post is pointless really, since the devs won't (shouldn't) look past the title. You can go back to playing wings of hawks now Lixma.
