It's close to release. I made some last-minute changes that need to be tested first before the mod is released to the public. It shouldn't take more than a couple of extra days.

The other thing that was bothering me was that some of the deck gun models in RFB have the viewfinder in the immediate center of the zoomed-out view, concealing the crosshair/center of the screen. This renders the zoomed-out view basically worthless and makes targeting in high seas somewhat ridiculous (zooming into the viewfinder for a split second to make sure the target is still there and then zooming out to adjust elevation, etc). Is there a way to alter this so I can see what I'm shooting at without using the viewfinder?

This will be fixed in RFB 2.0.

That's great news Luke! Take all the time you need to get it right. I had one question though. Is this version going to have the PE mod integrated into it?

[Nit]

Only one question: WHEN?

Only one question: WHEN?

Oh, that has an easy answer:

WHEN IT'S READY!!

I see monocular...

Why that?

Of course in a flat 2D screen it is impossible to have true "binocular" perception, but other than that it is correct.

[Anvart]

If you look through the binocular optical device (by two eyes) you cannot see a correct circle FoV...

RFB 2.0 should be uploaded within the next couple of days.

No, that is NOT true

If you look through a binocular with two eyes, you see a perfectly round circle I have used several binoculars in my life and they always had a rounded field of view. Right now I have here by my side a marine binocular from my granfather (A Noctex 10x) and I can assure you that when you look through it, what you see is a perfect circle.
