Gunsights in patch 4.00

[EG14_Marcast]

Well, I can't say it's a real bug. Before last patch, at minimum illumination you could still see a reticle in the gunsight, especially in british fighters. After the patch, no reticle can be seen at all at minimum light. Is this something done on purpose? It's a problem in british fighters in low light conditions (sunset, dawn) as their on/off light system dazzles you

marcastel57, from what i read somewhere else that was intended. It´s how its supposed to be. It has to be turned "On".

That's correct. The gunsights in the British aircraft are only visible when switched on, apparently this is how they were in real life. They are a bit blinding in low light/night. Try switching them off just before you get to firing distance as they appear to take a little while to fade out which gives you a slightly easier reticule to see the target through.

I still notice a semi transparent silhouette in the hurricane gunsight

I read this in John Vader "Spitfire" book. :D

yes, the old 'ghost' image was felt to be incorrect.

So now I really need the hand book to find the on switch, och no problem, I'm just so impressed with updates and ATAG, as it turns out I can still hit the German aircraft and knock them down with the hard sight, just not as accurate as before. (Never was that accurate) But thanks for the information

err.. no. Just click the button next to gunsight to turn on/off :)
