Title: Gunsights
Post by: A8TOOL on October 22, 2008, 12:13:32 AM

No gun sight can make you a better sim pilot but finding the one that works for you sure can help. I imagine many of you have been using the same gun sights for a long time, like the original default or dots. Switching to something new might not work well but then again you might end up seeing something you like.


I made these for my squad many months ago using http://www.gimp.org and later posted them in my sig but The File Factory didn't hold them for long. Media fire does so heres a link if you want to try them out.

 I posted in help and training with some pics on rocket use and was asked to email them out but this is easier and I'm happy to share them.The file contains Dot alternatives and rocket sights that really work. If you want to add them to your pack, no problem.

but this is a great alternative to the simple dot since you can see through it. It looks much better in the plane  :lol

If you want a real gunsight.... Copy the Default sight, take it into GIMp or paint, and delete everything but the tiny little dot.  thats the gunsight I use.  If i could get it a tad larger and neon green i would really be happy

Don't know if you guys liked any of those sights but if you did, here are some other colors   I made in red, yellow,blue or green....plus a couple of new ones that were not added in.

Fancy gunsights aren't going to make your aim better, the simpler the better.  You should almost be forgetting your gun sight is even there as it becomes so familiar with you.  That being said, I like those gun sites A8Tool, they are stylish yet simple and I would try one if I was a player who was looking for a gunsight.
