A6M5
« on: February 23, 2011, 10:53:20 AM »
I noticed the pilot now sits "off center" in the redesigned Zeke. I believe the Ki-84 is the same way. Was this normal for the pilot seat to be off centered in some of the WW2 aircraft?

It's not the pilot that's off center it's the gunsight.

You're default pilot view needs to be in line with the gunsight. If you center your view as if you were the real pilot, you wouldn't be able to use the gunsight.

You can change this yourself and center your default pilot view if you want but then you'd have to set a front foward gunsight view to shoot.

What did the real pilots do? Lean to the right when they were lining up a target?

most of them would use their right eye to aim, but in the game you cant controll your eyes like you could in real life, it seems like it is very off center in the game but Irl you would not have to move your head as much to use the sight
