and i still dont believe you, maybe when you use a 30 FoV and sit 1/2 the correct distance from your monitor for that FoV setting (ie viewing the screen from 45 cm with a 30 Fov on a 22' lcd), because then you have introduced an additional artificial 4x magnification.

neither do i believe you that you can fly il2 in a 30 FoV most of the time and use the flightsim in the normal manner it is intended (getting airborne, locating ground targets and strafing/bombing them, locating/identifying/tracking/engaging/combat-maneuvering with enemy aicraft, map reading, and returning to airbase with landing)

Stopping the argument there. If you want to know, you have my invitation.
up your invitation to include the plane ride down there and you have a deal. any flight over 4 hrs has to be business class i am afraid, same as work related travel for me under normal conditions

i do visit friends sometimes in aix en provence or prades (in the pyrenees), so who knows one day i might be in the area.

I never said "most of the time", I said I switch when needed... (and have no problems switching quicklly to scan alternativelly the sky around and the ground below).
