alright, i got my gunsights, and i've been testing it on the drones offline, but i dont want to say its good until i have a few testers online. so, could i get a few people to test it in some real combat for me please? i cant get into the online arenas for a while and i want some feedback before i get in later on. if anyone accepts my offer i will be looking for this kind of stuff...
feedback-criticizm/complaints/comments
performance-how well you were able to kill with it/accuracy/usefulness
fixing-what can i fix?/how can i make this sight better?
if anyone, at all, would please test this for me online and give me the feedback that would be great.
heres the sight

i knew if i tried this nobody would take it seriously. seems like everyone under 18 cant do jack without the guys who say there "mature" screwing it up. but i would bet that if someone over 18 had posted this, it would have been taken seriously. just screw this entire idea and all the time i put into it. if you guys wont take it seriously, i wouldnt have posted it in the first place. :bhead

hi site is good get great kill shots but still wait on red dots like lazer :DD ok thnk and sry english from korea :DD

Your English is very good! Don't worry about it!
Skorpion? Nice sight. I used it offline, worked quite well for me. I wouldn't mind having some sort of Ground Attack reticule sort of thing on it though.
-
Nicely done Skorp.
I'll give em a run tomorrow and let you know how they work for me.
Oh and thanks for trying to contribute to the game and community instead of just causing grief and nonsense wherever you are like some people.

i cant skin, cant make sound packs, but i can make gunsights (we all have something we can do right :lol). i am sure going to make more in the future, but right now its all trial and error. thx for doing this for me.

working on that right now, i think i have a good start on it, but im not so sure its good for eggs. works great for rockets of any kind. the WGr's are a bit tricky with this sight though.
(http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i336/igotafro/GA-1.jpg)
the diamond in the middle, *small one not the big one* should be used when pushing some negative G's when shooting. ive found that it works fine for that, and the circles act as distance indicators. if your far away, use the big one on the bottom, close up, one near the middle. simple as that.
-
alright, i got another ground attack sight, this works for any gun larger than 30mm. such as the p39/yak 37mm and the hurri2d 40mm's. not sure about the b25 massive 75mm though. with this sight i was able to kill AA from 1k away.

Just curious, are you using reticles in sight at a prescribed distance?
:cheers: Oz

Blank out the center and then I think you got something worth working with on the first sight.
You will notice as you play..The least amount of obstruction (Crap) on a sight, the better it will work. Many Just like a dot but I like a little more. Most of what you made is silliness but this one has potential. Unfortunately, I'm thinking it will not show up right ingame though.

In order to make some of these work you'll need to open and copy and paste them into a newer sight in your sights folder. HTC guidelines have changed since many of these were made. Use a program like GIMP to make new sights. Liking your edits Skorpion...easier to see targets with less stuff in way.

anything for the bombers?

i have a gunsight that works for long range bomber killing (37mm+ cal. of course) and im almost done with the leading gunsight for gunning in bombers.
-
anything for the bombers?
Bomber gun sights are way different than fighter gun sights for this reason:
Bomber gun sights are used zoomed in 100%, 90% of the time.
The sights posted by Skorpion here, would when zoomed in, exhibit line weight that is way out of scale with the view, and in some cases occlude the target.
Anyone making bomber gun sights should use at a maximum, a line weight of 2-3...with a line weight of 1 near the center of the sight, and cancel any dithering or anti-aliasing to avoid diffusion...and take into consideration the field or cone of view when crafting custom sights for use in bombers, and scale both the line weight and graphic size for optimal use at the most common zoom setting
Just a thought

These are the turret sites I have been using.
This is a modified version of Flayd's sight with thinner crisper lines for zooming in with..

After a few years of downloading gunsight packages from WB to AH2 and looking at all of the 60's style line art. Everyone is recreating the wheel to achive three results.
1.} An easy to see uncluttered center dot for guns mode.
2.} An easy to see uncluttered bomb/rocket aimpoint.
3.} A sure fire, no brainer, dead eye, point and click, AimBot gunsight.
Everyone eventualy discovers by trial and error the aimpoint for bombs and rockets is 50Mil below the center dot. If a main ring is involved most of the time it is roughly a 100Mil ring. I'm not sure with all of the gunsight collections created since WB, anyone reads the WW2 manuals or gunnery documents like "Bag the Hun" or "Schiessfibel" to understand why the historic "graticules" worked. Eventualy everyone reduces their trial and error down to a "Beaumont Modifiction".
S/Ldr. R.P. Beamont flew tiffies and found that the bright orange light from the lamp cluttered the gunsight ground target view using the traditional MkII ring, bar and dot when he was shooting rockets. He masked off everything but the dot. Then he removed the reflector plate on the gunsight to have only the dot on the inside of the tiffies windscreen. For rocket/bomb mode the dot could be moved down using a dial. For guns mode it was moved back.
MkII Bar & Ring (100Mil dia.)
Below is the traditional graticule in Barr&Stroud MkII gunsights until it was changed to a ring and dot in the TypeI MkIII as a response to S/Ldr. R.P. Beamont's feild modification.

MkIII Beaumont Modification with 50Mil radius AimPoint
Since HiTech does not model the ability to move the dot up and down. Here is the next best thing.
Circles "Unclutter" the aimpoints in the game.

last gunsight ive tested. all the others are fine and ready for the real deal. i have all the finished and completed sights in my sig. when i get around to it, more will be added aswell. <S> to my friendly lab rats who decided to take the time and test them all. i owe you many beers. also, salute to the ones who gave good feedback and to those who helped with the making of these. i had alot of outside help from friends (there not registered on the BBS) but id like to thank my friends josh, adam, karl, ben, jake and my favorite russian, stas. those guys were the biggest help to me. the gunsight for bomber gunning will be posted tomorrow. (never making one of those again due to the 2 week long data compilation :lol)

If anyone CAN..or wants to, I'd appreciate it if you could rework the first four on top row or one of your top picks of any for me.
They look alright in my window but could look so much better if i only knew how.
-
When you opened them your art program, then saved as a (.bmp). I bet you discovered on zoom lots of colored pixel snow or halos from the conversion.

(http://www.cadframers.com/ah/25H_75mm.bmp)
Ya know, I like this sight. I think it could probably make a good default. It's clean and to the point. The first line could be used as a lead indicator since it's so close to the actual pieper..if thats how you spell it. In game it flickers a bit though :( wonder how I can fix that and still keep it the same. It might be due to the lines being so thin.
I made a slight change to it so I could see thru it better. (http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii226/A8TOOL/25H_75mm.jpg) as you see, my version is a little duller for some reason....but works.
-
Gonna check some of those out tonight skorpion.
The thinner ones look promising.
Coogan :joystick:
-
Skorpion, a suggestion would be to try to use thinner lines, it gives the same info, and less clutter.

i can only do that on one computer because the other one is kinda old (10 years old) and i have to stick with just a few lines. the other computer allows smaller lines. i will make more smaller lined sights soon. im working on one right now actually, it looks really good. but one problem is i cant find out how to get it illuminated in GIMP so i guess ill have to skip on it for now. thx for the feedback. also, all of my gunsights and new ones to come can be found in my sig. feel free to use any of them.

heres the latest gunsight, made all the lines thinner.

oh i almost forgot, i made this face gunsight. an evil do-er, he kills pixel planes! oh noes! :rofl (you have to zoom in to see his entire face and use his poorly drawn circle nose to aim)

My favorites forever have been the K-14 and just a plain circle and old dot.

I'd be careful about too much clutter. Gunsights need to be simple as possible. If you made one like a plus sign with thin lines, I'd definately try it.

Yeah, can you make it to where each spoke is about halfway between the middle and edge? Otherwise, thanks alot, it looks great.
