Did you options>preferences>gunsights and make sure all planes have the one gunsight (its file name) selected?

when i went into that, it just showed a white screen. nothing else in the preview box, and the gunsight is in the folder.

I think you can only use 256x256 BMP's, not sure about file size; is your gunsight image a 256x256 BMP?

its in 256x256 .BMP colors now, but right now if i want it to be the default sight i have to go in, select every plane and make it the gunsight. how do i get past that?

You don't, unless you had replaced the gun sight as the default.  default.bmp would be the default in each plane and preset, I think.

Take a gunsight you wish to use for all of them...

then in your hightech folder under sights, re-name the gunsight to "default" - then they'll magically appear...
