                            I will try, "haven't quite figured out how yet". Basically it has everything I like in a sight. It has a small dot in the middle, shaped like a diamond. It has levelers, both horizontal and vertical. Its red, and both visible enough to see anytime , as well as see thru enough to see your target. And most of all it has plenty of open space in the middle so you can see your tracers.

                        I think I got it from Sketch, . If you tell me the shortcut to take a picture and how to post it here I'll be happy to do it.

Go to a hosting site (like photobucket), make an account. Upload your picture. It'll have a little code under it for posting on a BB. Copy and voila!

Forget the keys for in game.  You can either post a small recording of it offline or whatever, or open up the recording in the film viewer, click prt scr/sysrq on your keyboard, and open up mspaint, photoshop, etc and save it as a new picture, and then post it here.

Thanks if you do.

PS:  It's not the p51 k-14 one or whatever right?

Historic on all planes but the IL-2 where I made one up in Photoshop using the default crosshair but with lines showing the ballistic arc of the cannons at 600m convergence and ticks for rockets at 1,6 and 800m it was a work of art then a hard drive crash ate it.

                            If I were able to save it to AVI I could grab a frame in one of my editing apps, upload it to a free picture server, and post it from there. I am familiar with the process as Im a video editor. However this AH film viewer crashes every time I try to save to AVI so I cant go that route, nor can I do you tube. The AH file compression wont open in any of my editors either. Here is the link to the free sights file. http://www.savefile.com/files/809847

                           Its "P51Dred BMP". If you want to send me your E-mail in a PM Donkey I could probably attache a copy of the sight that way. Before I was using LWRevil16b but this one is far better.

                         The sight is actually the least important aspect of good gunning from bombers. But I think its important to get a sight your comfortable with. This one is really not that different then the ones with just a dot in the middle.

On the radio the other day I heard someone say they had a sight they'd downloaded for use in the gun turrets on bombers, and that there was a mark specifically for the .50 cals at 1000 yards.  This would be very handy.  Anyone have a link for this site?

                                  No but I know with this sight Im talking about the dot in the center, its actually more of a rectangle, if you lay the bottom of it over a 1,000 yrd fighter just high enough, you'll score hits with it. Even better with all the open space in the middle of the sight you'll be able to see the hits and/or your tracers. Which is important.

                                No doubt the sight your talking about is one of the ones with horizontal graduated levels in the middle that space vertically for set distances. The problem Ive found with them is that they are to dark and interfere with seeing the fighter. That, and they interfere with seeing both your hits and your tracers. I have found seeing your tracers at distance is just as important as seeing the con. Most of all if the fighter isn't coming in at a perfect "6" angle while level, which means you have to use a different lead to hit him.

                             This is the best Ive found for bomber guns. But, I guess its all individual preference. http://www.mediamax.com/rich46yo/Hosted/pictures/P51dred-2.bmp
