I've just installed CFS3 with Firepower expansion and have some problems
with the HUD-only view. It seems that the target reticle is not in the
center of the screen, and it is not where the bullets go. It seems to be
offset to the right by 2 cm. Obviously this is hugely irritating!

As this game has been around for a while I hope somebody could help with
this. I have searched Google and MS knowledge base for this problem but
no luck.

Thanks in advance,

Jacek

Did you install the official patches before Firepower?

Hit F6 (by default the pilot's view)

I installed CFS3 out of the box and applied patch to version 3.1 before
Firepower. BTW F6 does not help either. The reticle problem is in HUD
only view (F3). Reticle is well-centered with the canopy on.

I only ever fly it with cockpit view so don't know what else to
suggest. There was a bug before with gunners in bombers not being
ligned up in the reticule but that was fixed in the patch, but maybe
it wasn't fixed 100% and that is what you are seeing.
