Title: Saxman Type98 LARGE 125Mil for you....
Post by: bustr on October 22, 2010, 05:24:01 PM

Saxman,

I created the Type98 125Mil you were refering to. I've updated the Historical Gunsights download package with it and the readme. 125Mil is huge in our gunsights.

Saxman,

I was playing around with the 125Mil Type98 to see why it only fits the N1K2's Type4 reflector plate correctly. It has to do with the default POV position in the cockpits of the A6M's, Ki61- and 84. If you use your key views and look straight down your eyes are set at the line of the seat back on all but the N1K2. In the N1K2 your eyes are set forwad at the front edge of the seat. Thats why the Type98, 3 and 4 reticle in the historical pack outer rings are 70Mil. The POV in those cockpits reduces the visual width of the reflector plates to 70Mil by being so far back.

Don't know what to tell people to do. The POV is set to give the impression of periferal vision in the limited FOV of a computer monitor. The N1K2 cockpit just happend to have the right proportions to work.

Don't know if you have seen any of these:
