Custom Gunsights

[JB73]

I have to clarify my statement also...

I looked at your sights pack just now, and wow, theres 11 sights I have made in there

I'm more amazed they are still floating around, some of those really stink...

I put some of those up oh geeze 5 + years ago or there abouts lol.

To SlapShot:  Yeah it is already in the works and will be on there with the new package.  Might even see if JB73 will help me out with some...

So, JB73, if I need any help would it be possible for me to call on you?
And as for your sights... It wouldn't matter how crappy they look... I still can't hit anything!

Agent360...
For you come back say what you did and direct it like an actual individual, let alone a grown up most likely with kids I accept you as someone I could actually get along with.  I am sorry for any words of how I took it... I guess it gets old seeing guys getting called hacks, cheaters, cable pullers, shade-boy, ho-monkey, ace pilot (is that one word or two), along with multiple other names from people who don't understand the game.  I am not saying your one of them because from your last response I can see you can have an actual conversation like an adult.  People come in here and go on about so and so doing this and that and oh let me post up a film of him flying into my plane!  The crap gets old and as of late some people I wonder even if they should have kids...
Sorry for going off on you... and to make a common interest with you, I went to school for graphic design as well before I joined the Air Force.  Now I build bombs for a living... because art and explosives are some much alike!   So, when I see something I created and someone else slaughters it, I see what you were saying.  That is why I said, it is just a collection, and not 'my' creations.
So... I humbly apologize and hope it is accepted from you.

Ummm, while you guys are in here going back & forth, my new sights aren't being created.  Back to work!  All of ya, ya filthy monkeys!

Sketch,
Apologie accepted.  S!

I have recently made these two site for use in my 109 flying but I have a problem I can't solve. Mabey you guys can help.

I have added some yellow dashes to help in straffing GV's and ack. My normal sight does not have these but I thought these might help in aiming with bullet drop on the 30mm taters the  K4 and G14 have plust the 250lb bomb.

I ride with my seat all the way up vertically with the center of my sight just at the top of my hud. Just enough to still see the center dot. So the "Normal site" with some dashed added is this:



This is the second sight to illustrate what I want the final version too look like when I have my seat moved up to the top.


I can'figure out how to make the sight so that when I move my seat up I still get the yellow dased lines to extend all the way down to the bottom of the hud.

The second one does not work because the aim point is located in the center of the image.

The first one works but when I move the seat up I dont get yellow lines extending to the bottom of the hud.

Any Idea on how to make this site work?

Thanks

Agent, I don't know if you will be able to get it to have the dashes like hat for when you move your head up.  It is a fixed location for your 'center' point on the screen, but I could be wrong on that... see if JB might know something on that.
What if you just made the sight large... would they still show up at say double what the standard sight is currently in the game?  I think would be 256x256... but still not sure as that would cause your center to be larger as well....  Would be cool if it could be done.  The sights look good so far...

Agent360 ... I don't think that it is possible. You are actually moving your line of sight in reference to the glass hud and not actually moving the displayed image.

the sight will always re-size and center on view.

the only reason some sights go all the way to the edge of the reflector glass is they have a colored pixel on the edge of the image and the game just repeats that pixel outwards.


as for size, like I said the game resizes them. 64x64, 128x128, 256x256, 512x512 whatever you use the overall size will stay the same. the reason for using a larger sight is for more total detail in the sight.

try using some of those 32x32 or 64x64 sights in your pack. you see the pixels in game.

the best advise I can give is trial and error. thats what I did.

Anybody have the Office FAQ w/example for using Paintbrush, Paint.Net, Gimp, etc. to make gunsights...... I want to make some custom sights, but can't really seem to make it work.  Thanks in advace.
