Title: Bf109F-4 windscreen problem
Post by: GRUNHERZ on November 12, 2004, 05:35:37 PM

I posted this in bug forum but I wanna put it here too in case peple missed it.  

The current AH2 Bf109F-4 has a rather inaccurate heavy framed windcreen which is an odd mix of Bf109G and F features. Overall its very odd and inaccurate and heavily restricts forwrad vision compared to the real Bf109F.

This image illustrates the problem.

The first is the current AH2 Bf109F windscreen, the second is a more accurate thin framed version I made and the third image highlights in red the areas of the windscreen frames taht should be removed and turned into glass for a more accurate windscreen anf forward view.

I suspect that the cockpit framing on quite a few aircraft is too thick.

Shouldn't the F-4 cockpit be like the E-4?

Yes and no.  Yes the canopy frames on the two models were nearly identical. No, because the AH 109E model is kind of wrong too and I imagine it would be simpler to just modify the 109F  windscreen as I suggested rather than grafting the 109E shapes to this 109F/G body. I have suggested that before but now I think this is a better way, IMO..

I'd reallyn love for HTC to quickly fix this little problem now,  as I imagine its logical that the 109 series will be the last to recieve a cockpit/3d upgrade to the latest AH2 standards due to its complete remodel for the inial relese of ah2..

Pleeze! :)

Another example of excellent precise communication that leaves no doubt what the author suggests.
