F6F Cockpit-1024x768- Can't See Airspeed
« on: December 30, 2000, 03:35:00 PM »
When the forward cockpit view of the F6F is centered on the gunsight, the bottom half of the airspeed indicator is not visible. Is anyone else having this problem also?

If so, the cockpit art for this airplane should be corrected so that this primary instrument is visible while the gunsight is centered.

Regards,
Tom Bigelow, Borg

You're sitting too close to the panel.....press the down arrow until you can see the all the gauges, then press F10 to lock that view.

Move yer head position back

Borg you have the ability to adjust yer head position, mess around with it until you get a position you like.  I have it set so that I have the sight in the centre, and I can see the flap indicator almost all te way to the bottom.  I have my head position as far back as possible (down arrow)

There's a bug report forum.

Thanks for the help. I went into the key-map
box and found that the "move-back" did not
have a key assigned to it.  Using that and "move-forward" has vastly improved
other views as well.

Borg, with all due respect, next time use the bug forum, or help forums for what appears to be a bug, you'll get just as much help in there, I garantee it.

I tend to map my "hat-forward" to my gauges...

I hold my hat switch tot he forward setting then I arrow up, and page down, til I have a nice dash gauges view, then F-10 and wala! You can glance at all your gauges while you're in that killer dogfight.
