Lets lose the 6 view in fighters.

Not one post in here denies that the pilot had to turn to look over his shoulder...  not just peer thru back of skull while placing face against against windshield +)

ahh well was a good discussion nonetheless +)

I'll bite.

Not one post in here denies that the computer view can never match either the field of vision or the detail of that vision of a real pilot, much less having to remember button combinations to simply move his eyeballs +)

Ahh well, was a good discussion nonetheless +)

fatty,

id just be happy if the crew at htc went back and gave some of the older planes (n1k,spitfire, me109, bubble top p47s) accurate head movement restrictions like hey did in the newer planes (p-51b is a good example of how i think it should be done)

[Maverick]

P51B birdcage is way too restrictive. The metal formers take up too much of the view to ever simulate real view. The same for the Zeke. Absolutely atrocious. Lets bring the malcom hood to the 51B!

PS lets lose SNAFU!  <GDR>

why not add rear view mirrors?  it may not be realistic to look straight back but unless u have a vf helmet or a few extra buttons for custom views its a good option,  only being able to look back at a certain angle and the using pgup and pgdn and the left and right up and down keys would be good, but then u have the problem of having a button to look back to the right and look back to the left

"why not add rear view mirrors?"

 I asked that question a year ago. I referenced AW having that for many years. HTC answered (paraphrasing) that AH uses a completely different generation and level of graphics technology that the end result of adding mirrors would be a phenominal and unpleasant frame hit.  AW evidently uses a 3d overlay on the original 2d graphics. AH has no 2D layer.

Westy? AW has rear view mirrors?  You sure HT knew you were referring to just a reversed 6 view image?
