I disagree, it is an acceptable alternative to the physical sensations of flying an aircraft. :rock

I wasn't too keen at first but I think it could imagine it being the equivalent of a quick glance at the instruments during maneuvers

I wasn't a fan of it from the first time I saw it.  The real aircraft didn't have it.  We aren't flying F-16s here.  Turned it off immediately.

Nevertheless it was possible to take a 2 second glance at instruments and determine what the hud shows, keep it or not, I am comprehensively poor at Ah after 11 years, a new stick and throttle setup have made me even worse, I doubt some Hud graphics will really make a difference

I hardly look at the gauges even in a furball.  since I only fly the pony or the spit8, I guess it's easy for me to know what I need to know.

I immediately turned it off it wasn't a part of World War two aircraft and it shouldn't be.

I think it's more to help flying in 3rd person view.

Am I wrong or has the basic head position been moved much closer to the panel?.... so much so that even the head moving arrow keys will not view of the instruments without trackIR or a mapped key to "look front down"?
I hope not. I hope I have set something incorrectly.
If it is this way, like the HUD, it kind of ruins realism because no pilot would sit so close as to have an external view without at least airspeed in his scan.

Busher it may be that FOV has changed. It is adjustable.

I have to tried beta yet but third person view is available in the MA??? Again HUD instruments will suck big time. This is Aces High!! Not War Thunder
