BF109 - Can't we just have the gunsight in the middle?

Lixma, mh. Perhaps we're talking about two slightly different things. I do understand that even if only one eye sees an image the other is made to believe that it also sees this image. This I can understand. Provided they see the SAME image.

What I find hard to believe is that according to your images the brain is capable to add stuff. In the case of the 109 it would be the other half of the circle, something the right eye would not see as it only sees the left half of the circle.
Also the Apache Hud view is strange. As depicted the brain is obviously capable to make the eye without hud see the numbers whereas the eye with the visor doesn't.

because the reflector glass is wider than 3" (~75mm) thus its centre is >1.5" (>37.5mm) from its left edge.

the reflector glass is ~25% of the front window width and how wide is a human body with arms that need to move relative to the canopy A pillars vs. canopy B pillars vs. the inner walls of the cockpit.



If the reflector glass is 3" (~75mm) wide how wide dose that make the cockpit for a human to sit in!

The left eye doesn't have to see any image at all. It could be closed for all we care.

It's the brain combining two separate images (left eye with no reticle plus the right eye with a fully formed reticle) into one coherent image.

Nothing is being added.

In real life (not in-game) the pilot will have a fully formed image of a reticle projected to his right eye. The left eye does not receive any such image. But the brain combines both streams of data from each eye into one visual image.

Please remember the view in CoD as it stands is that of a Virtual Cyclops. Just one eye, straight down the centre-line of the aircraft. This is why in CoD's standard view the reticle is only partly visible....because the Revi and its offset installation was designed for a pilot with two eyes.
