Request to remove Standard view reticle when in External View

Post by dcarver »

When I move to 'External View' or 'Current Ship - External View' I get 2 reticle's. I get one reticle for my External View, and I still see the Internal Reticle.

More info, when in 'Standard View' or Cockpit, you see an aiming reticle, basically this continues to be drawn on the screen when switching views. I hope that helps.

I love playing in external view, and this throws off my aim, and the beautiful ship graphics. I can provide detailed Screen shot if needed.

I was playing around with this more
Technically it's a ship direction, although it does not provide the correct aim compared to internal view.

My default turret aim is best used for direction.

I’m guessing you’re referring to the screen center marker? The issue is that in X4’s external view, the screen center isn’t aligned with the ship’s heading. So that center marker doesn’t actually indicate anything useful—it’s just another one of Egosoft’s odd design choices.
