I am wondering if anyone out there uses a plain Red-dot type sight in game?  If so can you please post it here.  Pretty Please ;)

I made my own. I took one of the RAF sights with a dot and a single ring around that, loaded the sight in MSPaint and erased the ring. I like just the boresight dot.

I edited the default.bmp sight in GIMP.  When I tried to open the gunshight pref it gave me perma-ctd.  Had to do a total reinstall.

HiTech can we get a skin download instead of in game?  I was getting about 50% of the way through the in game download of the skins, get a CTD then most of the newly downloaded skins were gone.

Grits can you post the sight here? ;)

Thanks much Furball :) I have been looking for this one for awhile.  All started with the GShultz video.  That movie rocks....even loved the DS9 playing in the cockpit :)

I know I'm not the only one who does this -

I move all of my a/c forward views to as high as possible with page/up, then put a mark on my monitor with a cheap erasable felt marker.

Best gunsite evar!

I have used the "Dot o' Death" for years, both in WarBirds and here.  Not sure where I found it here either.  In WarBirds II  I think it was DrDoom's.
