Found a good picture of the 190 cockpit in the book "Focke Wulf Fw190 in Combat" by Alfred Price.

Here's the link to the past discussions about this subject, when the 190s first appeared.

There, you can see what it looked like in the initial release. Pages 2 and 3 would contain some material you would be interested in.

past discussions...

This is the analysis I did in that thread..

.. and I think current 190 cockpits have even better visibility compared to the mockup I made. Frankly, I don't really see what's supposed to be so wrong about it...

It is quite obvious that higher canopy would allow him to have better over the nose view. And it is quite logical that the only reason to increase the heigh of the canopy was just to improve the over the nose view.

Try that with the PB1s and .target 600 and see the current results.

I would say a point is proven the bars are to thick.

VV Bug, I like that it is 3D though, compared it to the Ki84 today and the 190 cockpit is far superior when it comes to feeling.
