Gunsites shifted (offcenter) to the left on German Warbirds.

Unable to center Gunsights on Bf-109K-4, FW-190A8 and the FW-190D9.

All three are shifted to the left . . . See image.

All other aircraft are fine.

What is the commonality of these three aircraft?

Anyone have any idea?

 

[Vakarian]

Isn't that correct?

[Mrgone]

No, I mean't to say . . .  the illuminated piper is not centered in the reflector . . .

You need to physically move your head to the right until the reticle is centred in the gunsight. That's easiest if you're using VR or TrackIR or Freetrack or whatever. I think there might be a keybinding that moves your head into the correct position if you don't have any of those devices, but I haven't got any of the WWII modules installed at the moment so I can't check.

In VR, there's nothing more natural than an offset Revi. That's how a collimating sight works, you see it with only one eye. In 2D, it feels less natural, unfortunately.

Okay, what about when not in VR . . . ie screen mode?

The Piper is still to the left and moving my head will of course does nothing. 

Is there an offset in a .lua somewhere like, views.lua that allows me to shift the piper to the right a bit?

Changing ther "EyePoint" seems to not have any affect.

Clue for someone just not obvious to me . . . As I use Numpad-6 (look-right) the piper begins to center.  Somehow their intertwined.  Of course when I Numpad-5, the view centers and returns the piper again shifts to the left.

You need to move your virtual head to the right. My guess is there must be a snap view set up for those without head tracking or you could create one. Of course the best solution is to just get a TrackIR. Head tracking is so common that many modules just assume you have it. For example helmet mounted sights such as in the Hornet or Apache basically require it.

For 109 you can go to game special options menu, 109 tab, and set the camera to always stay centered behind the reticle.

190s don't have such an option implemented, but they don't need it all that much as their gunsights are offset somewhat less than the one in 109. Still, you should be able to adjust default camera in them as well. Search for how to enable and set up snap views in DCS.
