I noticed that too.  Otherwise beautiful, yet worthless airplane.  Really neat looking with the dive brakes extended and using an external view.

Check out the change in 3D rendering Waffle used to create the gunsight reflector plate.

1. - Click disable reflections and watch what happens to the reflector plate glass.
2. - Enable it then use the arrow keys to move your head side to side and up and down. You will see the reticle now displayed inside of a port hole effect like in real life. You see it the strongest in the upper half of the glass plate.

Not worthless if your FH is down and it's the only thing resembling a fighter available. It's pretty nimble, actually, and will kill a Goon or M3 just fine.
