Prophet1606687883 Posted October 16, 2010 Posted October 16, 2010 Well, I hope it's got nothing to do with my age ;) (I am using quite new glasses) - but to my eyes the HUD symbology is ultra small. While the most important things (Alt, Airspeed...) are well readable, the targeting pipper is so damn small that I experience difficulties reading the scale that shows if I am in weapons range or not. While this is generally not a problem when I am using the Vikhrs (as I look at the numeric range display in the SKHVAL), I have huge problems assessing the optimal firing range when doing a run with the unguided missiles. Naturally I have to look out the front window when flying fast in low altitude and I can't afford looking down at the SHKVAL (or any other numerical display) to tell if - and how far - I am below the 2km threshold, aim, calculate the position of moving targets when the rockets impact, look for hostiles and avoid obstacles. The thing is that numerical displays take more time to read than those "symbolic" displays like the range scale on the aiming circle. It would be very helpful to have a larger scale on this aiming pipper. Even leaning in on the HUD (with TrackIR) doesn't really enlarge this tiny circle... Am I doing anything wrong? Or is there anything I can do to have lager symbols?

Prophet1606687883 Posted October 20, 2010 Author Posted October 20, 2010 - hmm can anyone explain to me the meaning of FOV? - alright, zooming seems like a good idea. I was using TrackIR only, maybe TrackIR + Zoom does the trick. (May be a bit unrealistic, but I can still think I am of Borg with an optically enhanced zoom-eye ;)

(May be a bit unrealistic, but I can still think I am of Borg with an optically enhanced zoom-eye ;) I use TrackIR 3 without the Vector upgrade as well as an X52 Pro. I map my zoom view function to one of the throttle rotaries. I easily rotate that rotary as much as I pull on the collective. All the time to read gauges, zoom in on buttons and scan the battlefield. I like to think of it as a pair of high end binoculars ;) ____________ PC Specs Intel i5-4670k@ 4.5Ghz 16GB of Corsair what difference does it make RAM nVidia EVGA GTX 760 Couple SSD's and a couple mechanical drives 27" Acer LCD Monitor (1920 x 1080) 19" ELO Touchscreen (1280 x 1024) :joystick: Saitek X-52 :joystick: Saitek Rudder Pedals TrackIR 5 + TrackClip Pro Helios running custom profile for A10C based on Loz's profile.
