Exploiting generous licence by WxTech ("I hereby give permission for the free use of this work, in part or in whole, in any other work by anyone, without condition or restriction"), I thought to replace his "splotched" canopy perspex with my "scratched" one: just a matter of tastes!

Added new reticles for Ki-45 and latest N1K (WxTech works only on 4.08 stock planes).

You may restore anything as he set originally either by original files that have been retained, or following his instruction detailed in his own readme.

Also folder name ("00_Gunsights_and_Glass_JA") has been retained, so you can unzip adding and overwriting to your existing mod.

Hope you enjoy,

P.S.: I'm cautiously marking this topic only with 4.09 label, but should work in any modded environment. Please, let me know if so, as well as of any inconvenience since I couldn't test everything. Thanks.

Thanks G., sounds like a great idea of WxTech's latest creation.

Raised gunsights of Ki-43-II, Ki-61 and Ki-100 (here below this latter):



just for comparison, the stock one:



I added labels of installations where I tested them successfully, can't guarantee for any other one (4.12 is intended with SAS ModAct 5.30 and 4.13 with FM ModAct. About 4.09, it worked so far, but I've it no more installed on my rig, so I'm unsure).

Relocating gun sights (or any other cockpit item) and reticles/masks, and positioning the view hooks (PoV), should be compatible with any game version. The only limitation I can think of concerns whether or not you have the necessary opening canopy in order to be able to use the CAMERAUP view hook.

Yes, it is, if you use cockpit of that game version. Most never changed, but some did; for this reason I warned about version compatibility. If this kind of modification involves "plane" folder (in addition to "cockpit" one), then liaison with game version and even modpack used is unavoidable.

The only limitation I can think of concerns whether or not you have the necessary opening canopy in order to be able to use the CAMERAUP view hook.

So far I had no trouble when this kind of option was available in "body.msh" (or other files containing PoV hooks).

Hi Greybeard!

Sorry to bother...I was testing some mods and noticed that in my rig BAT422HF4 , when adding this mod the canopy of the Ki-84 Ia doesn't show....while the Ki.84 Ib and Ic work without any issue....no log errors about missing textures or files....

I'll take a look at the other....

After a long series of testing and dumping I have discovered the culprit!

At the end of the hier there was 2 entries missing:

Adding those the internal canopy return to work!
