Try cyan, it shows up better, allowing you to change focus far and near easier with your eyes. Red will cause no end to eye problems with far near focusing.

How do you load this file into AH sight folder after it is downloaded?

 first thing you do is rename them after you download them ,or at least thats what i did. "new1 new2 " etc . next thing you need to do is find the AH game folder. im running windows 7  so i click on the Computer icon, then the c drive icon. then i find the folder Hitech Creations. when you click on that there is another folder named Aces High. open that folder. then find where you downloaded the gunsight files and you can  either copy and paste  or just drag  them into  the folder that says " sights".   after that  then when playing the game  you can go into  options , preferences , gunsights , and select the sight you want to use per each plane, wirlb etc. if you need more help  feel free to ask i can post screen shots or what ever you need.. :salute

Mike,

Why don't you run a simple blur tool on that ring to smooth up the edges. Unless you are using Windows Paint. If so, you can get "Paint.net" freeware which has blur tools. It's what I made the Historic pack with. You might want to increase the width of the cyan ring unless you run the game with the default FOV and nothing increased 100 or above.
