Bring all cockpits up to 190 Standard

know some planes have been remade already, such as the P51 but even the P51 cockpit is not up to the Fw190 standard.

New Ami planes "standard" is much better for the pilot than 190 or new 109 thick bars. I doubt they will touch any of them

"Standard" "Ami" plane cockpit :


"Standard" "Luft-weenie" cockpit:




Who's designer screwed up and gave the crappier view?

BTW - can really see how small the 109 cockpit was in the middle picture in relationship to the pilot.

IFw 190 cockpits is what should set the standard.

 Fixing cockpits only,would be like giving a vitamin to a dead horse

 Lancs  are faster @high alt,and climb higher  than most of Fw190s, 109s Why did they send them in the night? same with most bombers, don't think to catch them at 20k+
 The german canons damage are a sad joke, comparing with all other 20mm
+++ turn,roll, lop, acceleration ,damage is unfair modeled on most of german planes

imop, the whole flight model on german planes need a tune up

Waffle, I wouldn't go as far as calling those standard ami cockpits. P38's sucked, birdcage canopys were common etc. But that isn't the point. Why show the standard "german" cockpit on pictures of a 109 in a 190 thread? Not too clever

Second, that is not what the thread is about so stop trying to hijack.

What I wanted was all cockpits to look as nice as 190 cockpits, I don't think even the newly redone planes look as good. This includes the 3D bars.

So again, please don't try to hijack.

my comment was in response to the comment above that... a hijack on top of hijack Case being the canopies on the 47s and P51s were alot thinner than the 109s / 190s.

that forward horizontal bar looks like it is right in the pilots LOS, is it because he has his seat cranked up?

What's this version of the 109? It seems to have lost it's middle-bar on the side of the canopy?

"Erla" canopy Frank, often misstaken for "Galland Hood" in books.

This was starting to be equiped on G6's and became more and more common.

This is the same canopy as our G10 and G6 in AH2 has got, and the G14 and K4 will have after the "remake".
