a straw view
« on: July 31, 2011, 10:48:20 AM »
I would like my front windshield to be a more realistic size. The view from my screen is about 4-5 inches (when view is zoomed full back). Real windshields are 14+ inches or about the width of a computer screen. The canopy view is like looking through a toilet roll core.

Also, the canopy front support frames need to be thinner. The new mossy is nice example of how design a canopy view. I just can't believe how overdone the F4U were remodeled. Let me ask this, since the chog was remolded how many times has Shawk racked up more than 5 kills in one?

I wonder how big a monitor would have to be to do that...  But I don't want to think about it myself...  Tell me!    :D
