    @MonarchiiwithastolenMG something to do with glass tubes with negative opacity at oblique angles I think, also the glowy reticle is attached to G - simulated camera

    @winswings you're right ! That canopy is cool. Look at it open back and forth and imagine it was rotated 180 degrees and the plane was facing the other way and the part of the canopy that doesn't move is removed. See it ? So it would slide back toward the pilot. God this is a cool design !
