Still not as bad as the "somewhere over the rainbow" gunsights on our Yak's and La's.

What do you mean by this statement? That the gunsights in the Las and Yaks are too good or too poor?

Oh ... well Killer founded WW2OL (something-rat studios or playtime-something ... I forget which name they used) so he's still in Texas.

I'm told BB is in Austin someplace.

Moggy you see on the BBS here so he can say where he is.

I've lost track of the rest pretty much.

Too far away from the default seat position - you gotta move your view position so far forward to get the gunsight to a usable size that the cockpit framing takes up so much of your fwd view.

I guess the real question is now, will any of this ever get fixed?

I think HTC is doing what he can. I believe he is trying with all the changes that have been taking place. I also dont really think we need a new plane until the old ones are tuned.

Gonzo,
from what i read at your site we sound alot alike in flying styles, so when did you become a yak fan?

There is no doubt HTC is doing all they can and that things will be modeled as realistically as they can make them on a computer.

I always felt that the Russian planes were poorly represented given their qualities, volume of production, and effectiveness. Especially since the majority of MA combat happens below 10K, where Soviet aircraft were built to dominate.

It took years before AW had any Russian plane, and even then it was modelled very badly. I forget how long I campaign to get the La-7 to once and for all end the dominance of the Spit. And, given what it's done in AH ... I guess that was a pretty accurate call.

Interesting thread on the "dominance" of VVS planes at low altitude.

IMO, with the exception of the Yak 3 and the La 7, we see mostly the result of Soviet Propaganda and a lack of data.

Good idea of the sighting view in the FW-190:

Crumpp you don't happen to have one like this one, that's taken from low enough to see the pilot's face only as low as the eyes?

Crumpp · « **Reply #86 on:** September 18, 2004, 08:10:04 AM »

No, that picture is more of a joke. That is Unteroffizer Albert Licht in FW-190A8 "Yellow 8" March of 1945 in the Courland pocket.

He's Goofing off for his Girlfriend having his crew chief snap a few "hooah" pics.

Ya well in the mean time i still cant see **** through the tinted gunsight

O and Gonzo if you are the man that made the LA7 possible for us , let me be the 1st to thank you officially,

because it's obvious that flight sims were in real need of this plane!

If bases weren't so close, or people not so willing to have 1-way flights, the La-7 would be used more in the interceptor role instead of as a vultch-beast.

I usually drive the La-5 anyway.

I use a dora or a G10 to drive the La7's away...
