Hi, I’m having an issue with a custom sight not appearing in War Thunder.
Path: C:\Users\Администратор\Documents\My Games\WarThunder\Saves\[Your Save ID]\production\UserSights\all_tanks
File: sight_all_tanks.blk (only one file in the folder, no extra icons, not synced with OneDrive).
What I’ve already tried:
- Placed the file in the correct folder.
- Made sure there’s only this single
.blk file in all_tanks .
- Checked that the extension is exactly
.blk (not .txt or hidden).
- Fully restarted the game (closed completely, not just back to menu).
- Tried
Alt + F9 on the test drive (but this triggers NVIDIA Share recording on my PC, so I also tested without using this shortcut).
- Confirmed there are no OneDrive sync icons on the file or folder.
The sight still doesn’t show up in the reticle list under “Tank Battle Settings → Sight Settings”.
I can provide screenshots of the folder path and file if needed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
try restarting the game then, the Alt-9 refreshes the sight list, so if it’s being blocked the list wont be refreshed to show the new sight
not work. i just create new file like, after my games i create WarThunder\Saves\id\production\UserSights\all_tanks and add file with sights
Alt+F9 hasn’t updated the sights in a long time
Really? it still takes a long time to do something when you add a bunch of new sights and press it.
According to what I’ve seen and experienced that key combo was removed a while ago, you can only update your sights by rebooting the game now
It’s certainly not in the controls list at least
I just tested it, it still freezes the game for several second while it dose something, I’m not deleting all my sights to test if it will reload them though.
I don’t know then, I don’t have an “all_tanks” folder as I’m using FCS generator that produces the sight for each tank individually,
This is how my directory looks:

The “tochka-SM2” folder has sub-folders for each tank containing their respective sights.
Other then that @Schindibee might be able to help, but I’m not sure if they are still doing much with custom sights anymore
