Sky,
Here is a basic package of historic gunsights and one or two historic I modified to accomplish some purpose in the game. I'm tending more towards orange this time around instead of yellows for the lamp glow. The Revi's are whitish with a pinkish glow. I found a WW2 color photo of one showing redish/pinkish glow around the edges of the whitish yelowish reticule.

AH2 Gunsight Pack
by: bustr
Contents - 21 gunsights
{***Mk8 gunsight is courtesy of "Saxman".***}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All gunsights are built in 512x512 8bit bitmap mode. 1Mil = 2Pixel.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copy each (bmp) file with it's same named (mil) file into your:
C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High\sights
These gunsights may look slightly differently in the game than in the file as you view them in an art program.
The white with pinkish glow style with all of the Revi gunsights comes from a color ww2 photograph from a 109 cockpit.
This time around I'm tending towards stronger Orange in many of the gunsights.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note:
The default head position in the japanese fighters is too far back for the historic gunsights to show correctly. Moving your default forward view far enough to just have the main rings show on the reflector plate is available for each aircraft.
The Revi gunsights may need to to be moved up a small bit to place the ring completely on the glass.
The default forward view in the C.202 and C.205 will have to be moved forward a tiny bit to make the 100Mil main rings fit on the reflector glass.
