Hi all i am so used to flying with fixed gun sights is there one in place for WWII aircraft in DCS .

I know its fixed in the P-51 but what about in the 190 and 109 and the new modules that are coming up .

I really prefer fixed sight like we have in other sims. BOS , CLOD.

All of them are either fixed (109, Spit to come) or can be fixed (P-51, 190) mate, what's the problem?

Basically the gun sights are modeled accurate after their real life counterparts. So all gun sights at least have a fallback to fix the aiming cross (P-51D), or are a fixed reflector sights (Bf 109, Fw-190, upcoming Spitfire LF Mk. IX and P-40F).

 

What you might see is the 6-DoF head movement in conjunction with a head tracker/VR Glasses.

But you simply put the dot at the right point in front of the enemy plane and that's it. Though you have to hit them a bit more often as bullet trajectory and collisions/hits is calculated for each individual bullet so if you narrowly miss, you still miss... ;)

You can fix it in place by turning off the gyro. Switch is on the right near the target distance indicator.

The D-9's sight isn't fixed.
Indeed it started fixed until you uncage it last time I tried, don't know if procedure has changed, may be. IIRC, early manual stated it is better that way so gyro don't suffer while grounded which may lead to damage and malfunction.

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

I think my Trackir is too sensitive around the centre as my gun sights move around a lot .

Hi con,

 

All the gunsights in the WW2 aircraft in DCS are so called 'Reflector Sights'. These gunsights, much like a modern Heads Up Display project an image to infinity essentially eliminating parallax error.

 

ie you can move your head around and still see the crosshair in the 'correct' spot aligned with the guns.

 

Here is an example of what I'm talking about:

As for trackir there are a few good tutorials around if you can't figure out where to start.
