So you can't see them in Clipboard->Options->Preferences->Gunsights?

If they are the Ship Killer and Tank Killer I created packaged in B25H.zip along with a HowTo PDF.

1. - Did you unzip the files directly to your Aces High folders?

You should unzip to some place on your hard drive and copy the files to your C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High\sights.

2. - If it is my gunsights. Each gunsight.bmp has a gunsight.mil size control file that has to be copied with it into the sights folder.

Besides the 6000yd ship killer sight for the B25H. I made a 5000yd sight for the Me410 to vulch the rearm pad and runway spawn. Morfiend acted as my test subject in the TA for the Me410 sight.

I was sent the sights in the mail no mil file. Just the bmp. Bustr do you have a link for yours?

All gunsight files come with a gunsight.bmp and a gunsight.mil size control file. Both need to copied to your sight directory.
------------------------------------------

Do not download these to your Aces High sights directory. Put them somewhere else on your hard drive, then unzip them.

Historic pac. Read the readmes and it has gunnery manuals from WW2.

I had it used on me to kill my 5inch on a destroyer by a 410 along with de-acking it. The player actually read the readme. I had my twin 5inch on a CV destroyed by a B25 from 3500yds. He opened up from 4000 hitting the CV short of my gun before killing my gun position.

I was inspired to create the B25 gunsight after reading a Marine Air Wing after action report of a B25J attack on a Japanese island position taking out ack. The Marines opened up from 6000yds with their 75mm at 1500ft. The 75mm to 6000yds drops about 1495ft. Give a marine "a gun" no matter how big or small, and he will hit something with it.

"Small"? I believe I have downloaded all kinds of packs including bustr's one and I've found it hard to find a small enough circle for my liking! You know the gunsight can't be larger than the window of the Revi sight device, which IRL is about 4*4 inches or probably less. Zooming is the closest equivalent of concentrating your sight to that small circle. By default zoom is toggled by the z key and the amount of zoom is controlled by the brackets keys. The maximum zoom will approximately quadruplicate the size of the gunsight.

Small like in you only copied the gunsight.bmp file without it's gunsight.mil size control file. Or you did but would like larger than a 100Mil main ring.

Or

Small like in your default FoV shows the gunsight reflector plate as a very tiny area in the center of your screen?

Why not post a screen shot to show what you see as small? I can help with the first. The second is your monitor and the FoV setting for custom FoV.
