I don't think it was ever discusted in here about a mod for viewpoint position. What am I trying to talk about.

Everybody knows that LW planes and most of IJA/IJN have the gunsight a bit to the right, the thing is that when you are using the position "without the gunsight centered" the pilots view is a bit lower most of the time. I find this a bit strange. Why should a pilot have a lower position when in level flight or not aiming and when aiming he has to raise his head or entire body... or in some cases crouch to have a good aim. The pilot is usualy restrained in vertical moves by his seatbelts (a thing that is very well represented by my FreeTrack-6DoF combo (heck, I can't look down properly... must be the oxigen mask tubes ) and many times the pilot has to aim under some G's which would make very hard (ok, imposible) for him to raise his body to see the gusight completly if it was hystolicaly mounted a bit higher.

We have now 6DoF and is a little let down that we have to "toggle gunsight" many times just to be able to see the whole sight. I became quite proficient with aiming with the FW190 sight (don't run in panic... I can't shoot straight... just aim ) but I am anoyed I cant see the sight completly and I have to "lock" my head using "Toggle gunsight" (btw, thanks again sHr for your work ).

We don't need... work arounds like: "toggle gunsights is fine" or "raise in the chair a bit and reset your Freetrack/TIR" we need to solve this odd thing.

Just look at this pictures:

Do-335



109Emils



FW190s



109Gustavs



Go-229 (not a very used plane but it shows the issue with a vengeance)



Ki-84s



Me-163



Me-262s



Zeros (one of the early, a bit too low in both positions)



So... what do you think? is there one that agrees with this point and can create a mod?
