Here's a good shot showing how effective this new canopy was.

That is a very very good picture..
wish they had worked on the windscreen at the same time.

I think it also shows how AH views are overly-lenient.

Yes I agree. Especially with all that outwards mobility going on these days having a better view for the 109 types would help. Heck having more realistic views nowadays would add to better gameplay I think. You Spitfire, zero, niki guys all agree?

G14 is it not?

One of the things we forget in relation to R/L and AH is that in R/L you can move your head to look around obstructions. I don't think the view system is lenient at all, and (cue old fart quote) compared to AW, AH has some very cool view customisation features.

Flying the P38 in AW, I used to get ambushed by people flying co-alt and approaching from 9 O'clock or 3 O'clock because there was a canopy frame that blocked your view in those directions.

Superb Picture btw.

could be a G6/AS, G14/AS, G10 or a K4

GRUNHERZ · « **Reply #7 on:** July 29, 2002, 09:43:20 PM »

Most likely not a G6/AS. Could be any G10, a straight G14 or a G14/AS. Can't be a K4.

palef, obstruction due to inability of depicting stereoscopic vision on a 2D plane is one thing, getting a panoramic 6 view and achieving some odd view angles by head going through the canopy glass is another.

Hope this is in with the next face-lift.

The difference in that 'small' correction would change the AH 109 pilot's perspective about this much:

Hopefully the 109 will get its well deserved facelift.

the 109 looks fine, hopefully that smurfy guy in the cockpit gets the facelift!

that pilot is a dwarf.

Kwesawa: More important would be giving the 109's cockpit proper vertical bar alignment as I advocated originally like two years ago. 109 isn't contentious enough to be given a neuter job as you suggest.
