P-40 Gunsight
Can someone explain why the gunsight is offset to the right?
Ryzen 7 5800X3D liquid cooled, OC to 4.5 ghz, Radeon XFX 6900XT Black edition, 2 tb M2 drive, 32 gb ddr4 ram, Asus Hero Crosshair VIII mother board, and some other stuff I forget exactly what.

I believe it was because of the carb air intake on top of the cowl but I'm open to correction!
Re: P-40 Gunsight
The main gunsight is the reflector gunsight, which is activated by the rotary switch on the left side switch panel. The offset gunsight is for backup, I believe. Check page 22 of the P-40 manual.

Yup, the old iron sights is kinda the backup should the 'modern' centred recticle sight fail etc.

Flying VR, the iron sights aren't as offset as they seem in flatscreen mode.

I had a lot of freetime at this weekend and also had an idea to make the reticle more realistic, or basically I was trying to.
More orange recolorization was added and some glowing, still not a perfect one, and made it just for fun.
