Can't see the reticle of my ReVi in the 109

[daHeld]

When flying the Bf 109, I've got the problem that I can't see the reticle of the gun sight, no matter if I switch on the gun sight light or not. I don't have this problem with the English planes.

Am I missing something? Is there an extra switch to turn it on?

Well, in Oleg's games usually you are able to see HALF of Bf-109 reticle.

Try using "Lean to gunsight".

See in Options > Control > Views keys - for default "Shift + F1" is assigned.

Or perhaps you gunsight reticle are dimmed down (option for some planes).

Look in Options > Control > General for keys to

Increase Gunsight Illumination
Drecrease Gunsight Illumination

Some VGA, notedly notebook ones cause trouble with reticle light in Il-2:CloD, but since you see RAF ones, indicates not be the case.

Thanks for the answer, but:

been there, done that, got the t-shirt...

Shift F1 centres my view right in front of the ReVi, but there is still no reticle.
Not half of it nor a quarter nor an eighth... It's just not there... even after maximising the illumination of the gunsight

So this is apparently a bug on my computer, since no one else seem to encounter the same problem....

I can still shoot planes down with the Emil, but I presume it would be easier with the sight working...

I'm, using TrackIR 4, by the way.

Hopefully there is a solution, because I'm more inclined to the German side...

I hadn't had the time to try it out yet, but will be back with results.

Not that one. Try in your Documents.

OK. Thanks.

Thanks again everybody.

Now it's working, although the reticle is quite dim, even with the brightest illumination.
But I can see it now, which is the important thing

All the best,
Andy
