Hello, I'm trying to have a little fun dogfighting with the ki-43 and... in cockpit the gunsite is just black, Delete, End, Page Down, Shift+F1, still black, please help, when i bought the game off ebay there was no manuel, and my dad, not knowing that pacific fighters came with this game, he bought it, i looked in its manuel, nothing about the ki-43's gunsite. sorry for asking so many things, i just want to be good at playing il2. Thanks in advance.

Yep, as Planemad said, Press CTRL+D to shift the cover over. You can do this on German reticules to place a tint over the gunsight for brighter moments of combat. (target flies near sun etc).

Can anyone illuminate me as to the purpose of the crank directly below the gunsight on the early Japanese aircraft like the Ki-27 and A5M? It appears to work in conjunction with the throttle, yet when the plane is at rest the throttle doesn't affect the crank movement.

Works in conjunction with the throttle? Can't say I've noticed that...but perhaps it depends on difficulty setting? I believe its the crank to open and close the radiator.

A radiator flap/shutter crank like the starting crank on a Model "A" Ford?! However, radiator control makes sense; that is why it only cranks in flight. If you watch closely, when you move the throttle the crank responds to the throttle position. It seems pretty strange to have the radiator crank in a position where it interferes with the gunsight. I have never seen anything like this in any real aircraft, but then I never sat in the cockpit of a real Japanese aircraft of this vintage. They definitely had a different way of thinking about engineering in those days.

Sho'nuff! If one looks closely, they can actually see the cowl flaps move in and out when the crank moves, but this happens as the throttle in increased or decreased giving the impression it is linked to the throttle. This is actually the pilot making the change manually to accommodate the power setting.
