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

Is it this....?



Or is it this.....?




And so with the Revi.

The Revi is installed on the 109 to project its reticle onto one eye only (the right one in our case).

And yet Luftwaffe pilots has two eyes....binocular vision.

So what would our Luftwaffe pilot have seen while flying around?

Something like this...?




Or this.....?

I agree with your post, but you have left out a very important aspect in your 109 illustration, in order to actually 'see' the whole circle, you'd have to move your head a lot closer to the revi (so the right eye actually see the whole circle), in other words, you'd have to use Shift-F1 again.

Stereoscopic vision only applies to things in close range. That's why when you look into the vista of Grand Canyon, the whole view looks so flat and picture like.

Notice also how close the HMD is to the pilot's head.

Here's a dude sitting in his cocpkpit with the gunsight clearly covering his right eye. Because he's leaning a bit to the right his right eye is actually right of center of the sight, if he wasn't, it'd be right in the middle.

winner the reason he see the sight like that is because its shoved directly into his eight eye. They need training to be able to focus each eye separately on a apache.

You cannot use the apache as an example.
