Title: The First Ever Slant-Corrected F4U Gunsight
Post by: Rendar on August 06, 2000, 05:15:00 PM

I haven't got the sight to a perfect circle, but this is as close as I can get.  I would appreciate comments, good or bad.  It looks like a ellipse, but the slant of the F4U's glass changes that.

I have found that the maximum size of the gunsight is 256 x 256 pixels.  The sight is still squished when 256 pixels tall, so I would have to make it slimmer for it to look like a circle (Which would in turn make it much less legible).
Pyro, could you raise the maximum size of the gunsight to, say, 384 x 384 pixels?  That would help immensly.

Has anybody ever given a reason why the F4U sight is screwed up like that?

The gunsight glass is tilted at an angle of about 45 degrees, give or take.  This causes the distortion of the sight.

I know it'd be a pain in the arse but could the sight be moved to the mid-point of the glass?

I dunno what you'd do about gun angles and such  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
