Just press Maj+F1 and look up!

Do you mean Shift+F1? It does not work for me! I just switch to customary gunsight view! What I'm doing wrong?

Edit: understood. "look up" is 8 on NumPad - so full sequence to toggle gunsight is Shift+F1+NumPad8!

Would have been useful if included in 4.12 Guide...

Thank you very much for help!

Really??? You need to be told to look upward if you want to look through something that is clearly above you?

In fairness, Caspar, that misses the point.
Obviously, one wouldn't have to be told to look up if they were physically in the aircraft. However, in a video game where even the simplest actions require specific keystrokes or button presses, it's always a good idea to include instructions, and not just assume that others will automatically know what to do.

While I would definitely agree in different circumstances where the mechanics were all new, looking around the cockpit is a control that should already be well covered.

Maybe an incorrect assumption by me as well but looking up should be on a similar level as firing the guns and therefore instructions on using the gunsight being redundant.
