With regards to the title of this post, I mean, the padlock system in Il2 that cuts out when you get the bandit in front of you, and reverts to a straight ahead view, or are they finally going to give the user the ability to unselect this, ahem, 'feature' and make it more like a proper Padlock system, where you track the target to the sights, not the sights to the target?

I'll second that.
I won't fly without my TIR.

Actually, the one thing that kept me from ever flying the IL2 series for any length of time was the padlock system. That wierd deadzone in the middle of the screen just doesn't work for me. It is unlike ever other sim. Personal thing, I suppose..

Quick TIR 4 question.
I am using a newly installed TIR 4 and its associated software.
I'm using the IL2 built-in "lock to front center" feature of padlock to keep me "locked" to my gunsite when the target is centered in the front windscreen.
What are you guys doing?

I guess I'm in the minority.
I really like the padlock system as it stands.
Once the plane is in the front of the cockpit, the view doesn't move around - that makes gunnery easier for me, as I can better visualize my plane's aspect to the other.
