Ever since I purchased this IL-1946, I've noticed that some of the pits' gunsights are missing the left side.
Why is this and what can I do about it..??
Its not the worst scenerio, but I'd like a full sight, esp. since guns are our main weapon.

Thanks for helping this dodo bird-
I scrolled up & down and up & down the key command list and I guess I'm just too dumb to
understand what site toggle means.
And when I jump into the zero, and see the ironsight swing to the left, I'm thinking 'well, why is that?'

Appreciate the heads-up Splash-

The sights on several Luftwaffe planes were actually mounted offset to one side.

The Zero's iron sight animation is just a little 'extra' thrown in there.

The iron sight on the Zero will rotate back into place if the other sight gets damaged. There is no way, unless a mod addressed it, to get the iron sight to rotate back into place manually.

CTRL D? Or do you mean after it's damaged?

I just one of those that wants more symmetry in my cockpit. And then when I press Shft-1,the sight is zoomed towards me. I hate that w/a passion.
So half the time, I'm just wing-shooting. So you can tell that I'm always pressing the Page-Down key to get a better view of things.

Good Mornin'-

When I press, my pilot leans forward to put eye behind the sight. It looks bigger as the eye gets closer.
