Yep as they say it's been there for a long time.

I MAY have been a IL-2 1.0 feature. It's definitely not new.

Never heard of these or seen. Anyone?
You are sure, you use stock cockpit textures?

I mentioned this before, but the Re-2000 emergency iron-sight is not lined up properly and makes aiming difficult. When hitting outside view, then inside view, the alignment is even worse, and one has to hit ShiftF1 a couple times to get it to the closer (but still wrong) alignment.

Not confirmed. I tested it. Its working well, with two times pressing Shift+F1 (its meant to work that way). Its then aligned.

Screenshots for both please. Thanks!

I'm not sure but I think Romanator is talking about the external cockpit model Caspar

No problem,

Corsair MkI damaged:



Yak canopy frames before:



After (also note odd placement of metal vs. wood bullet holes):



Re-2000 gunsight. These are the three views possible. I used a house to help keep my aim steady. I paused the game and took snaps, the only change being the view (shiftF1)

Bullets high and to the left (Centered view)


Bullets high (Gunsight view when the thing worked )



Bullets low (New Gunsight view)


The last shot shows the "best" view, but it should be clear that this is not quite right. I have to aim higher or pull more lead than what is normal. In order to hit a non-maneuvering target (yes, even at convergence distance), I actually have to aim above it, or just shoot when it's being obscured by the sight mounting (neither of which is easy).

This is the image of the SBD I posted a while ago, but I'm not sure if anyone saw it:



While the Corsair and Yak bugs are cosmetic, I feel that this one is serious. I also have to wonder what other DM bugs are present but not visible like this one is.

What level are your graphics set at? Very blurry ground textures there. Perhaps it's a lower detail level setting that is exposing the problem here. I fly the Yak-1 a lot (and the Corsair, but not the Mark I model) and that's a new one. The model has other long standing graphical issues but that's new for me.

[EJGr.Ost_Caspar]

Thanks Romanator... now its all clear what you mean. About the iron sight: confirmed.

[Romanator21]

Good to hear Caspar, thank you.

Icefire, I have everything set to the highest level. Only landscape is down low. It saves a load on FPS and almost looks the same as Excellent from 1000+ meters.

I can't imagine why object detail settings should affect the canopy of the Yak after taking some damage anyway. It should either be there, or it shouldn't - not disappearing in the middle of a fight.

However, it is only a minor issue, relatively.

Oh... theoretically it could well do, as all is set up by material setting in 3D model and with different grafic settings, it uses a different set of materials (low res ones i.e.).
So if some material info is wrong in the programming or the model, it uses a wrong (transparent) or non (white) material. Just a hypotesis.

Thank you IceFire.
