visible structural damage 0 Posted March 27, 2004 In German Planes the hud reticle is not visible, it seems to be a bit scewed off to the left. Is this something to do with my screen reolution is is there something I'm missing here ??? tried hitting ctrl d but that is the dimmer. I'm hoping to try some of these German planes out see.

Skater 0 Posted March 27, 2004 Shift-F1 will put the reticle into view in all aircraft. In German aircraft, the offset is more pronounced, but it is offset in all aircraft. You cannot shoot properly without using the reticle view or another boresighted view. -Skater Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SDirickson 0 Posted March 27, 2004 The reason the reticle isn't able to be seen in the normal view in German aircraft is because the gunsight in German aircraft was designed to be looked through only by the pilot's right eye. Therefore, by pressing shft-f1 it simulates the pilot leaning forward a bit, and concentrating his right eye on the sight. Its not just for the German aircraft either. I have it mapped to a button on my stick because it can be useful in just about every aircraft in Il-2. It doesn't change the magnification of the target, like the gunsight view does, it merely changes the point of view within the cockpit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
