HTC It occurs to me that it would be more efficient to use a text file to reference the file names for gunsights on planes rather than each a/c having its own file.
What I mean is this: I have a collection of historic gunsights that I use, and historically many planes used the same gunsights. This means that for the German planes I have SIX seperate files that actually are just the same two files with different file names.
When we start getting more US Navy planes down the road, Hellcat, etc... I would like to use the same Mk8 sight for them as I use for the two Corsairs. 1 Hellcat sight file + 2 Corsair sight files = 3 files when all it really needs to be is just one Mk8 gunsight.
The later P-47s and P-51s use the same sight as well.
So, if you add the Hellcat, I will have 11 sights for 11 planes, when all it really has to be is 4 sights for 11 planes.
ya dig?

I have I think 5 different files, and your post probably took longer to type than all the time I have ever spent renaming the files. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

LOL! FUNKED! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
BTW if someone has good 109 custom sights I'd love to give them a try.
I currently have the historical Revi one, not bad. But I want to try some others (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Thanks (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Funked, you totally missed my point, man!
I was not speaking about the efficiency of typing! I was speaking to the efficiency of having many more files using up your texture memory than you need to.

Historical Gunsights Bank (http://www.ceres.dti.ne.jp/~nabezo/AH/gunsight.htm) for AH here. It's made by nabe. I helped to make some files too. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Yup Batmann (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) I have the Revi sight downloaded from your page, and I use it on the Me109G10...(nice page,BTW (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif))
Still I was looking for other custom sights, not historical ones, to give them a try. I am currently flying G10 a lot and the 30mm is devilish to aim... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Yeah, most of mine came from Nabe's site. The rest I got from that EAW gunsight page, I just had to edit the color palette for it to work right in Aces High.

This is the one gunishgt I use (home made)

Link for download in b,p format is http://www.geocities.com/stsantasatan/109g10.bmp (http://www.geocities.com/stsantasatan/109g10.bmp)
It works well; in the 109G10, I have zoom as far back as I can, and the original gunsight was simply too large to be effective.
Not the best gunsight available, but adequate for my G10 needs (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

plain ol single dot seems to work best for me , not usually enuf time to "read" the bars n stuff to get fast shot off. But how about the ability to use custom gunsights for the tank , THAT.. WOULD BE GREAT.
