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

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.

I love the viewtype in CoD. It doesn`t feel any different from that of IL2 though the headshake makes deflection shooting something exceptional. I don`t have a problem with that. Instead of whining I just keep training, right now the thing I need is good stick settings to find that smooth lead for deflection shots.

I just hope I can change the vertical convergence of the guns - default is something I would never use.

I use a mouse on left side for my situational awareness for many years now. In COD it takes less than a second to get to line up your sight. It might feel longer to some because at the moment they need to think what to press and what to move. As many of you have said already, once you do it a few hundred times, it becomes a reflex and it WILL get faster.
I also have trackIR, you can do the same thing. Get your profile right for you, look up the pertaining keys and set them to get in and out on a cue (e.g your bandit just went left). I am much slower with the Track IR but much faster than a week ago.
It can be done, gentlemen and it is gratifying.
After all, why shouldn't the pilot that put the effort have an advantage?

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 .

A lot of people(with trackIR) in this thread have given this type of reaction. You're basically saying that people without trackIR can get bent. If the current system is working for because you're using trackIR that's fine but don't come here and post about a feature you're not even using.

When you use the loosen straps function now your FOV changes which is bad because you lose situational awareness. Just remove the zoom and it's fine.

And yes I know that i can easily do this with the mouse but it's pain having to reposition my view using the mouse and it can't be done quickly.
