Has anyone else noticed the better head positions?
« on: July 24, 2010, 12:38:50 PM »
Just curious I haven't heard anyone commenting on how much better the head positions are in some of the planes.

The one's I've seen a difference in are;
  • Typhoon
  • Corsairs, -1A thru -4
  • Late 109's, G-14, K-4 (haven't checked early ones)
  • Fw 190's

It's cool that the head position limit now follows the canopy profile, versus the old straight lines. Thank you HTC.

Yup.

First thing I did was adjust my views.

Got a little better view over my tail and off to the 10/2 o'clock positions.

They were too busy complaining about all the stealth nerfing to notice the improvements.

For myself I notice that on the views Front Left / Front Right.. But more so for myself I can see down the right and left side of my tail section  when looking Rear Left/ Rear Right.. I was in FW190D

wish they would use the old ones.

Cruising in a pony hit page up and it went as high as the cockpit bar.  Feels gamey.

At first I thought it was a bug as well, but after doing a little checking the range of motion is correct (well within the canopy at least).



If you center the mouse on the center of the gun sight then hit H, you can use F3 (after hitting home) to check the range of motion.

I personally think it's brilliant the way it is, wouldn't change a thing!
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

Dicho, I'll make an exception in your case because I know the game improves merely from your presence...   :)

And @Baumer, nice graphic technique to show the new positions there...
