Here is a link for a gunsight pack I tossed together with a bunch of sights. Some are old, some are new, but there are plenty in there and you can never have too many. These are from over the years of playing the game and figure I would just share the wealth. Hope you all enjoy... and we we say a bunch... it's a bunch!
AK's Gunsight Pak

Can't get into any of the folders inside the original ZIP. Keeps giving an "Unknown Compression Method" error. Can't even open up one of the files while still INSIDE the compressed folder.

I have this problem also. It looks like an incredible pack, so that's a shame.

Download it, open the main folder with WinZip.... open the folders inside with WinZip... After you unzip the main folder, right click on the 4 on the inside and do the "Extract to here" and you should be good. I just checked it so it should be fine....

And Kazaa.... I was told you liked to be teased!!

Alright... tell me how your doing it folks. This isn't anything we can't fix...
What are you running XP?

EDIT: READ THIS!

Download file... If using WinZip, right click and do "Extract Here". This will extract the 4 folders inside out for you. USE WINZIP to open the 4 folders... Just do the Extract here.... If your using WinXP and clicking "Extract Here" over and over don't do that.... Just follow the instructions.

hmm.... it'd be nice if you'd give credit to the people who made those gun sites instead of zipping them all up and calling it your sightpack. Just saying yanno.

Been there, done that, didn't work.

ZIP files inside ZIP files serve no useful purpose.

Best you make it one zip file containing the four (NON pre-zipped) folders.

No offense Waffle but I NEVER said in my initial post that "I made all these gunsights" I never said I made any of them...
All I said was this is a collection of gunsights and wanted to send them out to others. Am I making a profit on this or something? No! Just because it is labeled AK's Sight Pack, that is because that is what I linked it as so I could find it on my computer... Sorry for stealing your thunder and trying to help others in this game... Guess redoing another sound pack would be bad too then.....

I think you're taking it the wrong way, or maybe I did with the wording of the post. It's just one of those things that irks me, when I find stuff that I'd previosly done for the community (namely soundpacks) in other forms and in other flight sim communities in which people use the sounds and them call them their own. (that's the key reason I took my sound packs down)

Like I said, I probably misunderstood your intentions, so I apoligize if it rubbed you the wrong way.

I can't open these, but I can look at the names. Looks like if anyone put their handle in the file name, it is still there. Looks to me like they are getting credit. I don't see anything unethical about this.

Waffle,
With what you said and with what I said, I guess in a way we both were taking it the wrong way. I won't take credit for for something 'they' did. I am sorry for ripping your head off on the subject. The reason I put together sight paks and sound packs is to keep the game freash for myself and anyone else. I don't take credit for it... As for sound packs and such, maybe take it as an honor of them being used. Almost all of our packs are collections from over the years from this game. Not many of us have access to sounds and such for these games or have the software to produce them. With my sound pack I did thank everyone whose sounds I used. So... with that being said, sorry.
Now, explain to them for opening the folders.... it does work.
