Cockpit bars in 109K4
« Reply #30 on: April 30, 2006, 10:17:51 AM »
Yea, I was looking for that thread earlier but I couldn't find it.  

If you look at the triangular braces that are present in both the 109F4 and the K4, the side bars just about fill up that area on the K4, that is how thick they are.  On the F4, there is about half the space left over (the bars fill up the top half, but not the bottom).  

Why is that?  I think that the thickness of those two bars, combined with the added thickness of the top bar make the G model 109s feel hard to see out of, while I don't really have that problem in the F4.

Just FYI, the infrared head-tracker from Naturalpoint (with "Vector" add-on) allows you to "lean" around the canopy frames in AH: left-right, up-down, back-forth. Over in WB, lacking true 3D cockpits, they only have suport for rotation around one view point, the so-called "Linda Blair Syndrome" mentioned above. AH's full support for the Naturalpoint "Vector" is a much, much better view system, IMHO.

F4 has external bolted armour glass which is visually less restrictive in vertical plane.
