Gunsight View in 109E

109 gunsight need some work. Something like IL2 sturmovik. It's really hard to AIM!

After hitting f10 and toggling independent mode and I hold down the RMB all it does is bring up an options menu? How do I center the gun sight with that? Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know why you're getting a menu. That's wierd. What options menu is it, out of interest?

What I do is hit F10 and then click and hold the Right mouse button and just drag it to the right a bit until I can get the crosshairs in the gunsight, then release the rmb.
Unfortunately if you go out of the cockpit to maybe watch a flyby (F3 in this case) and then hit F1 again, you have to re-centre the crosshairs.

I don't have COD yet, so bear with me.

Question: Does COD not support TIR 6DOF? If it does, why can't a person in, say, a Bf109, just shift head to the right (x axis), lean slightly forward in Z axis, and if necessary sit up or scrunch down (Y axis) to 'look thru' the sight?

Yep, you can do that.

It WAS really hard to aim then!!!
Remember that this game tries to simulate, not to remove rl obstacles.
There is always the option to dumb it down with no headshakes, etc...

I use track it and after a while have fourfold it quite easy to get the sights up in a dogfight without the use of shift+f1.

It's just a matter of practice makes perfection, everything is much harder than it was in il2:1946

It can be hard to aim using this site but it was in RL.. they didnt have the luxury of everything being smooth and a press of a key given you instant stability when aiming..

with headshake off its alot easier but a prefer FR servers anyhow, it can be a challenge sometimes as the loosen shoulder strap action is okay but it only allows you to look around so far when in that position so sometimes you need to toggle from that that view to normal view..

my only gripe is that when you switch these views it takes a bit too long, i can imagine if i were in that position and i had to take my eye of the sight to look over my shoulder how quick i would actually want and be able to do..
