The reversion back to regular view is clumsy and time consuming. Unless there's another function I'm not aware of the LEAN to SIGHT is useless for me....

thx Robert,for german-offcenterd-sight-point.

#1 to handle it better by TIR, you can offcenter your head slightly to the left und push the center-key then, this brings the sight to the center of your POW, hope this helps!

#2 The offcenter design was made to force german pilots to aime with their right (dominant) eye. The dominant eye is your "main" eye, while the other allows the stereoscopic viewing. I do archering a little bit, but "unfortunately" my dominating eye is the left as it is for many other people, too. Maybe dued to the Nazi-ideology that the "superior aryan" has allways the right eye as the dominating one. I don't know. Did they loose the battle dued this ? After '45 they gave up the thing.

#3 Comparing VR against RL: As we are unable to use this gunsight in the "right" way, because of the lack of real stereoscopic view, we are reaching the limits of a Sim! As we also have to face these facts concerning the physical labour in a dogfight, pain if you get a hit, and so on. 99% accurate flightmodelling should be feasible however
