Since we have a Finnish Fighter.
« on: October 26, 2010, 06:49:33 PM »
This is a reticle for the Finnish Gunsight Tahatin Malli/44 Kone kivari. The gunsight in our Finnish B-239 Buffalo is a THm/40 which is a ReviC.


Tahatin Malli/44


Tahatin Malli/44 illuminated reticle.


First save this to your PC as (THm44Kk-1.jpg). Then "save as" a 512x512 8bit (THm44Kk-1.bmp) file in your sights directory. Create a (.mil) file with 256 in it. The inner ring is 35mil the outer is 70mil.

We need to get these all put together into a single pack that also sets the sights for each aircraft/vehicle and position.

Saxman,

I just keep adding them into the bustr.Gunsight.zip Pack and update the readme each time. Since I'm doing the El-Cheepo Free "one file" download at Mediafire, this was easier out of PhotoBuckets El-Cheepo 5 files at a time.......... :rolleyes: If I update the zip from Media fire I have to kill the link and post a new link into my previous threads.

Sucks to be me.... :old:

But, the Pack is up to date along with the Readme file and .mil files. As for the (aricraft.txt) gunsight association files, only the pilots gunsight position is recorded if their is a gunsight like in the B25H or the Mosquito Mk VI or any of the fighters. I cannot find the location that bomber gunner position files exist. Almost all Allied gunner reflector sights used a variation on the 70Mil ring and bead. The Axis countries for the most part had ring and post iron sights on ther defensive MG/Cannon. This is why I made my default.bmp a 70Mil ring and bead.

I figured if I supplyed the bmp and mil files, the player could use the readme to decide for themselves if they wanted to match historic reticle to airplanes. It's not like HTC is going to drop everything and use my pack for the the next full build release...... :)

Saxman,

What am I supposed to do with this pack I've created besides having made it available here for a short while? In total I think my Mediafire location has gotten about 30 downloads. I did make a change to the SanGrB and updated it along with that Finnish sight. Don't think the C.202(SanGrB) gets flown that often except in the AvA anymore. I don't even know if the sights in the package have even been usefull to anyone or the whole thing is a dog. Knowing this community if it is a dog I'd be short some hair by now.

 :)

Hitech should add a community downloads section where community members can upload files like these if they don't have a website of their own (or for the benefit of people who can't figure out how to click a link to an external website).

Since I'm making it free to everyone in this forum, it's free to anyone who wants to put it up on their WEB pag. I'll probably repost it soon because I've made a minor change in the package.

Ok, Larry.

I'll kill all the links and you post Waffles.

I just did this because AKAK asked me to convert a historic gunsight for him. All the background research I've been doing is giving me a headach.....

As Larry said, Waffle's pack is the OLD pack, designed for the old gunsight system.

If you'd like, bustr, I can host your gunpack on my web server at a single address for you.  All you'd have to do is just send me the .zip and I'll replace it every time you make a change, and the link will stay the same.

sorry bustr I got involved in other stuff and forgot about it.  If you want to throw the link back up or work out something with Sector let us know. I'm sure I'd enjoy your new sights.

Sector,

I need to add one more update to the pack.

Type 1: Mark 111 (Projector) dot graticule <---------------Beamont modification Typhoon and Tempest. Dot only.

I'm modifying the single dot to two dots. The second is at the 70mil ring if the reflector were to be tilted or the none reflector version if the internal emmiter was shifted to lower the dot on the Tempest windscreen. And for Saxman I will correct the Readme with a more indepth reticle to aircraft association list.

How do I contact you to arrange for your kind offer?
