K14 site improvement/Correction

[Bert_Foster]

Type of improvement:  Add additional feature

Explanation of proposals:

The K14 Gyro site and its British equivalent IRL have a mode/feature Reticle masking. When Reticle masking is selected the circle around the Gun Cross is removed leaving you with just the gun cross and the Gyro reticle displayed. This (imo)  is perhaps the best most practical display for use of the Gyro sight in AA engagements and recommended mode in RAF guidance documents. The circular reticle just gets in the way. It would be nice if this feature could be incorporated as either a dedicated Key binding (as it was in IL2 classic) or just add it to the current IL2BOS gunsight mode command.

Benefits: Provide a more historically accurate representation of the K14 site presentation and provide the most used mode used in the Gunsight.

 

Image on the right shows how Fixed + Gyro with reticle masked should look.

Bert, it already has this.  Look for 'Gunsight Mode Toggle' in control settings.  You'll be able to toggle between Fixed, Gyro, and Gyro+Fixed.

 

Edit: Sorry, didn't read the post close enough before responding.

No it doesn't have this mode. Would be good if it would get added in near future though.

Isnt the K-14 also supposed to have an A/G sight? I know in DCS there is an option for an A/G reticle but I'm not sure if thats supposed to represent a later model of K-14.

Thats in a later Model K14 that had some additional symbology.
