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

[kimosabi]

Hell, lets just mount a Merlin to the 109s while we're at it.

Think most pople with TrackIR completly missed whats been asked for.


Keep the ctrl F1 but make it like in IL2, that is, no zoom.

With ctrl F1, as it is now, u CANNOT look 135 degrees to the sides or look back.

U have the massive canopy bars on the sides right in the field of view when lookin left and right with ctrlF1 enabled and zoomed in as icing on the cake.


Realistic, dont think so.

+1 its the ZOOM that is unrealistic not the position of the revi

Something tells me neither do u.

I think they should change how Shift F1 works, but i don't think that they should change the position of the sights.

How the hell is that irrelevant?

Note I understand about the ocular vision but it would not look like this. It would only look like that if the pilot had a setup like the one apache pilots use.



So your telling me all german pilots were right eye dominant?

Well, there we agree and i think everyone else is to.

Probably the topic headline that messes up things.


Im pretty sure no one wants the sight physically moved to the left, even if, at times, it seems like thats what they are debating.

It works for either eye, left or right, dominant or not

I think you are still mis-understanding the Revi setup in the 109/190.

In a real-life 109 the Revi (a reflex sight) is offset to the right....as accurately depicted in CoD/IL-2 etc...

In real-life the 109 pilot sits looking straight ahead through the windscreen....both eyes open.

The offset Revi is installed this way to project its image into one eye only. The right eye.

The right eye receives a fully formed reticle image (just as the Apache driver gets a fully formed HUD image in his right eye).

The left eye receives no reticle image whatsoever.

The brain combines both eyes viewpoints into one.

Therefore the real life 109 pilot would see a full reticle in front him while sat straight ahead with both eyes open....approximately like the (rough) picture i've been posting.....

No.

But the majority of people are right eye dominant, thus the offset of the Revi to the right.

You know, that wouldn,t be unrealistic at all.
