I don't think it will work as a "png" image. Save it as a bmp and drop it into the sites folder. Then, in the game select the plane, goto the site, hi-light  the new site, then be sure to click the "apply to P38J" button.

 :huh Interesting sight. What are all the "+" for? I would think the bottom square with the cross in it would be for bombing,but, what are the side "+" for? Just curious.

Pretty much, the reason it did not work for you is because the one you downloaded was probably white white, I know you can't really see the difference but the one i put there is sorta yellow. I modified that myself because all the ones I keeped finding on the web were white, and white does not work for AHII.

How to use the P-38 Gunstar Sight

The basics of it is simple:
1) It is for use in center fire planes, such as a P-38 (hence the name).
2) If the target is in the 'star' pattern, shoot!
3) The lower center box is for center bombs/rockets.
4) The '+' on the sides is for wing mounted bombs/rockets.

It will work, but the black back ground will appear as white or see-though, I think.

 :huh I can't get the darn thing to show up in the sights menu. I saved it as a .bmp file like all the rest of the sights, clicked and dragged, cut and pasted...tried everything. It just doesn't show up. Any ideas? Thanks. :huh
