I thought MaxOptics was just for 1.4 and I'm running 1.5. Honestly given an hour I could probably merge the good Optics2 changes with the RFB changes.

There are all sorts of weird unadvertised "extras" with Optics2 like how the 2D heading gauge is even smaller which makes precise inputs even harder and the blue stopwatch hands are totally wtf. I also noticed that the nice Attack/Obs scope different reticule patterns and overlays was lost as well.

As for realism, I figure Optics2 is closer to reality in terms of resolution density. It's still 1x/4x zooms (right?), just larger viewports at the same FOV so each of the screen's pixels is a smaller fraction of the overall so the size of the pixel is less in the way of seeing what there is to see.
