In your Aces High floder is the file (cursor.bmp) you can always make it smaller. Just make a backup copy first incase of boo boos. The file is 32x32 pixels 8bit with a magenta background. keep a one pixel magenta border. The mouse hotspot is in the upper left corner.

Or you could customize it so you can use it as a gun sight. Its a straight forward procedure to use the target option and work out  impact points for various ranges. Im sure you recognize that several 'gamier' individuals are already doing this.  :rolleyes:
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

You talking in GVs as there are plenty of sights out there that have been specialized to have specific marks on them (such as boxes for air to air / ground impact points). Since the game already gives distances away by default when in a plane, how would it be "gamier".  :salute

Here's the cursor that was in the game until the new version. I knew I still had the terrain update beta on my HD for a reason. :)

Remember to backup the new one just in case.

I too like the larger pointer.  My mouse sometimes gets a mind of its own and runs the pointer off the screen to the right or down.  I would have to drive it into the upper left corner to locate it again.  With the larger size it is easier to spot when it comes back in view.

Having a 1080p display, the mouse cursor is fine.

Interesting take, considering the Aces High Trainers Corps webpage has an article entitled "A View to Kill" that suggests to do just that.  A small piece of see through tape on the monitor would work also.
