How the heck do you 109 boys do it?

The cockpit view to the front in the 109 is horrible.

I am constantly losing my target do to the heavy framing. Is there a trick or something or do you have the head movement maped to a hat?

If you can't see him because of the cockpit framing you aren't close enough.

Sure, kinda. but agaist a guy who knows you are there and is moving, the frames make it hard to track him, If the change direction while under a frame I lose them.

Are all you 109 guys just bushwacking guys who dont know its coming? :D

Edited (Changes in red) I miss stated what i meant In the 109 medels i usally use the (PageUp and PageDown) of the keyboard to peak above and below the upper cross section of the Windscreen frame.
PS i also use the Left and Right arrows in some cases too.
Hmmm Now if i could just hit a FRIKIN BARN!!!! :D
I checked my average Hit% over 8 tours. From Tour 45 to Tour 52
The average was 4.47.
As it stands now in AH2 Its a whopping 2.0! :D
The Screen micro freezes and stutters im sure are a part of the drop in Hit%.

The G6, G10 forward views are worse in AH2 than AH1, and are the worst in the game now.

You get used to it, but little head adjustments are needed now and then.

I don't now if the cross bar is really that thick or if it is just a matter of perspective.

It could just be that you have an unusually large head.

I fly the 109 F a lot; Its not quite so bad as the others, IMDO, but I've adjusted a few of the head positions. all of my "1/8th" views (fwd/left, fwd/right, rr/left, rr/right) are setup to get my li'l peanut-shaped bucket as near to the canopy as I can manage for better views so I can hopefully see those intrepid souls running away from me (and, conversely, those whom I might be running away from). Also, I mapped my forward hat toggle to look up and forward, again with a different head position.

This helps a little, but, having read through all this, I suggest just jumping the planes who are happily oblivious to your presence.

Cheers,

I don't have any problem with the views out of the 109, compared to the P38.

Try the 109f, great fun, if a little undergunned.

it is all about getting used to the cockpit.

i've been flying 109 almost 6 months now and the framing never seems to bother me.  i use the framing to keep the sun outta my eyes.

Whatever Gscholz...

The truth is in the leather undies, they cause severe chafing so we are constatly squirming around the cockpit in discofort. Makes us alert and keeps the head on a swivel.. Willi thought of everything, he did..
