1CGS LukeFF Posted April 14, 2015 1CGS Posted April 14, 2015 Just curious to see here which of the two windscreens people prefer to use with the La-5. I like the better upward visibility the flat windscreen provides, but I don't like those extra horizontal frames that show up with it. That, and it seems a bit pointless to install that windscreen, since the effects of distortion with a curved windscreen are not modeled. Thoughts?
Finkeren Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Since they modified the frames to be less obstructive a few updates back, I somewhat prefer the flat windscreen (was the other way around before) but honestly the difference is so slight, that I often forget to put it on in plane setup and hardly even notice.
[BTEAM]_Shifty_ Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Since I was told flat windscreen steals some precious kilometers of my top speed I don't even think about it
6./ZG26_5tuka Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I love the lagg-3 for its visibikity so the stock wondscreen is my way to go. The wider field of view aslo improves spotting and deflection shooting in my opinion. As I usually avoid headons the lack of armour protection is no bugger for me. It's probably a matter of tast and fighting style.
senseispcc Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 For me it depend of the skin I use and if I do not forget to change when needed. The two or three kilometres difference does not make a lot of difference in speed and certainly not to the handling of the plane.
-TBC-AeroAce Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I dont fly La full stop because of the visibility, I would rather a Lagg because that way i can actually see what im hitting lol
NachtJaeger110 Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 For online flying I too prefer the stock screen. Every km/h is worth it But imo the bird looks so much cooler with the flat screen, hence I use only this one in sp and qm
