Myself and USRanger have a lot of gunsights.  The link is in my signature below, so just download that and you will have some more options.  As far as editing you can just use MS Paint as well as a few others.  I am not sure on all the basics 100%, it just takes some work and imagination... :aok

Thanks Ranger and Sketch for posting them, I got the pack a long time ago as well and love them.
I would like to do some customizing to one of them but not able to for some reason. My paint prog does not seem to work right with it.

How can i erase some parts and add others?

Anyone know?

Is it a layer prob?

These sights are from a long time of collecting between Ranger and myself.  If you want to edit them just use a basic program and erase what you don't want and save it.  I have done it before and doesn't take too long to do.  If you have any in specific let me know and I will see what I can do...

Thanks Sketch.  I have edited one before but that was in 2001. it worked fine then but don't remeber what I did. I thought it was as you explained but does not work for me anymore fopr some reason.

 My prob with erasing is that it erases both layers I guess. Thinking about it now, I believe i can fix that using paint bucket to fill it in. I downloaded this prog. called paint.net that I'm trying to learn and seems pretty good. Here's the LINK  Paint.net It's free

My other prob is trying to add stuff in. Seems the file is no good once I do that. Have renamed file and made sure it was a BMP file but no go yet. Just a big square on selection in AH and blank on sight screen once put in plane.

To make a new sight it seems you need 2 layers. One for the background and one for the sight itself. Trying to figure out how to do that.  Have only had the prog for one day so it will take some time unless i got a hint.

Could also be that I'm trying to edit the old Pink background sights. maybe i should try one of the black ones.

THERE IS ONLY ONE SIGHT ... The "Dot 'O Death" sight ...

Here are the sights that I use. They are alpha (illuminated) sights.

You place both the ???.bmp and ???_alpha.bmp into the HTC\Aces High II\sights directory and when choosing the sight in AH setup, you chose the ???.bmp

You might want to backup your \sights directory before making any changes.

Fighter: Carefull here because it is named "default". This should automatically change all plane gunsights to this sight without a lot of effort.

<- default.bmp

<- default_alpha.bmp.bmp


Jabo: For this sight I explicitly go into the AH setup and choose this one for all the planes that I use for JABO. The bottom dot is what I use to line up the bomb drop on. Usually try to get 45 degree angle on drop using the lower dot.

<- default2.bmp

<- default2_alpha.bmp.bmp

Credit here to Mitsu's buddy AERO. I took one of his sights and modified it.

is there one like the one Slap posted, that has a couple of dots?  One for where the guns will hit at 200 with convergence at 200 and at 400 with convergence set to 200?  Any other combination will do, this is just an example.

Between me and you..... How many times do you think we have posted those sights?:rofl   If it is more than a dot it is too much!

I started working on some new sights last night. Probably gonna take a week or two, but I'd like to get 10-20 new sights finished & checked before release.  Sketch was nice to mention me on the current package, but it was mainly his baby, so I figured I pump some more out and expand the selection for players to use & enjoy. Sketch & anyone who's downloaded & used the pack.  Anyone having trouble using the savefile link(1st trouble I've heard) can also use this link for the same pack.
