My Favorite G2 Adjustment

[ImRich]

One problem that many people complain about with most simulators is that we do not have a large enough field of view (periphial vision) on a computer monitor to know when the ground is coming up fast.

I have found that turning on the 'Look at Ground' option helps this a lot.

The downside is that your aircraft can turn into a little spec if you try to fly too far away from yourself. But this is the same in real-life, isn't it? ;)

To try this, go to the View Menu and then check 'Look at Ground'.

You have to select it on each session as G2 does not remember this settting. This happens during on-line flights also. Remember to check 'look at ground' early and often.

Good idea. I've been using that function for a while. When I first tried it I was using quit a bit of zoom and when the zoom kicked in the helicopter would do a quick altitude jump that I didn't like. It works good with no auto-zoom however. I have a bad habit of flying too far away and too high that I attribute partly to the auto-zoom function of G2. With auto-zoom turned off and "look at ground" function turned on I've been able to keep my maneuvers, such as they are, at a more reasonable distance both on G2 and at the field.

My favorite is using the *Visual Scale*. At 3.5x with the 3D Foiler, it seems more realistic... doesn't get so small so fast either.
