Title: Editing Norden crosshair?
Post by: colmbo on February 05, 2014, 12:06:35 AM: Is it possible? I was thinking of indexing the reticle to assist with leading ships.

Can it be done?

It would be difficult to have a system to modify the fine gun sights like tanks and bomb sights, but I could put a standard gradient on it similar to the ship sights.

:airplane: :x That sir, would be very helpful! While you are at it, fix the shift + X auto function on B-24's, it doesn't work!

Well, as I researched this a bit more the actual Norden had just what we have in game so for me it's good as it is.

If you did add a gradient that would be helpful.

Practice is the key -- and sadly -- I am horribly rusty at that skill.
