Back when AHII came out those of us luftweinie pilots complained about the views, and the forward view in particular of the 190s.
This in the end was fixed (TY HTC)
Now we are faced with the exact same problem with the 109s.
And their similarly crappy forward view.
On looking at some of the pictures from the outside I first thought they were right. from the outside it looks as if that large thick forward crossmember blocking the view
But tonight I found some other better views of this aircraft which to me indicate definitively that the current forward view out of the 109's is all wrong and they should have at the very least better views then the currently do
Note that crossmember thickness isnt nearly as thick looking from the inside as it looks from the outside and is actually thinner then most of the guages dispite the fact that the crossmember is closer to the camera then the guages are and thus would appear larger then it would if photographed at the same distance
Also note the guages themselves are easier to read.
there is much more contrast between the light numbered/lettered part of the guages and the black background.
And from the looks of the plane in the second pick those parts look to be original and are probably faded and yellowed somewhat by age (Happens to white things over 60+ years) and are probably in less contrast then the freash from factory originals

http://hkkk.fi/~yrjola/photo/planes/bf109/cockpit.html HTC, please. It bad enough the 109's flight charactoristics has been dummied down somewhat.
But respectfully. Can we at least have them have a better view?
