Thanks for the video Sokol, wow!!!!!

AFAIK - No english manual - NewView has always been overlooked in Western forums. For non TrackIR users NewView is very usefull to improve IL-2 Pan View, but do more things, like a key/button mapper.

Notice that NewView work together with head track devices too, like TrackIr, Freetrack, Cam2Pan,URgear (?). Look at "Helmet" tab.

To CloD you need NewView version 37X - find in link below.

This thread in Sukhoi forum is about use in CloD (BoB for then), and have some samples of how configure key to center gunsight in 109.

Use some online translator and PM Hruks (the developer), they answer in english.

The best I understand (with Google ):

After initial NewView config (language, CloD location...), set a UView (User view) to 109 gunsight:

1. Open NewVew and then minimize
2. Run CloD (BoB), go Single Mission, run mission Cross country in Bf-109, that start in cockpit at Springfield.
3. Leave sights by default. Press a key, which is responsible for German sight (I sample NunPad 0)
4. Hit Windows key and go to desktop.
5. Go to NewView Advance Settings > UView coordinates tab, check 6DOF box,
highlights UView #1 (that is key for 109 sight, and control this Uview No1, in sample is used NumPad 0) and click in 6DOF Setup.
6. UView 6DOF Setup windows open: look for section "Translation (Camera Position)" X. .., Y. .., Z. ..
Check box for all these axes, and box for Instantly and Freeze.
In drop menu in front axis select "One touch".

In the box with Up/Down keys put these values:
X = "-700"
Y = "-1600"
Z= "20"

Close "UView 6DOF Setup" window
Click in "Apply"

And now press the number 7 (not NumPad!).
This key is used in this sample to the function "Read settings from INI file (for tuning settings)". See in Assignments tab > Other.

By pressing this key (7 or some that you assign) you upload to New View the changes made in CloD profile (.INI).

Go back to CLod.
Hit "NumPad 0" and see gunsight cross centering in screen.

For different german planes you need different values for X, Y, Z - so create a UView #2, #3...

Notice that you can configure up to 30 UViews (user views), so you can configure one key to instantly look at tachometer, another to prop pitch clock, another for temp... etc.

FYI - I dont test this UView feature, if dont work, dont blame me.

THANK YOU!!!!
You answered the question I did not dare to ask (actually I had deducted from v.33 that it does not)
