Lost the gun reticle on 109! Help

[Falke]

After doing some tweaking to get the best graphics for Il-2, I went to play the sim and found that I no longer had a gun reticle on the 109! Anybody have any idea what I can do to get it back?

Thanks. S!

Looks as though I have have answered my own question.

In the Confi.ini under [Render_OpenGL], TexFlags.UseAlpha= was set to 1 and it should be, at least in this case, 0.

[JG52Uther]

Might be best to make a copy of your conf.ini as a backup if you are going to go fiddling with it! ;)

[Falke]

Thanks Uther. That was in part how I found it. (Iv'e got conf.ini files going back to 2004!) That and 35 minutes on Google! (none of the usual Il-2 Forums had anything about it.)

[ytareh]

Yes that thing is like an Aprils Fool Joke hidden in the game .With the wrong conf.ini tweaks its possible to loose ALL reticles(lights) and have just a plain glass 'gunsight'!Weird,...
