In AH II I used a gun sight labeled P51 K. Was great and I used on many planes. Anyone know where I can download it?
Thanks
:old:
-
Can you describe it or, better yet, in an art program simply draw what you remember of it and post it back here. I either have it in my collection, or from your drawing can produce it for you.
-
buster I think mine was in ahII for a while labeled that, not sure though
-
Is this the one you gents are talking about? Let me know and I'll put up a download for the bmp file.

Bustr to the rescue! :salute
:cheers:

I just made a faint tiny dot in the middle of my screen. Am I doing it wrong?
-
Whatever works....
-
Yes....that's it! Thanks
-
Ya I love this sight! It's like having training wheels for jaboing. Makes dive bombing a piece of cake :rock
-
I updated it for dmdchief a few months back.
From my google drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwrokXEXneUQblFRSUtuRmdSVjg

Ok, I'm a bit software challenged here. :bhead :bhead How do I unzip this and get it into the gunsight folder? I have been having a lot of problems divebombing and this looks like it could help. Thx.
-
If you are on windows xp thru 10, you should be able to right click on the file and get an option to extract it. Then copy and paste it into the sights directory for the game.
-
So I take it with this gunsite for dive bombing the target is in between the smaller 4 boxes in the lower part?
-
Pretty much, almost ish :devil Its for rockets as well. Its set for particular speed and dive angle, as I understand it. Not that it is used in here like it would have been. I use it almost as designed. Top boxes are rocket guides 30 degree dive 350 mph(think historic was above 275mph). Bottom boxes are Bomb guides I use 30-45 degree and over 250mph(250 isnt as accurate but some times I am not patient) above 325 seems to be alot more accurate. It takes some practice, but its a good start :x
-
Thx Bustr! Got it.

Offline if you enable the dive bombing green cross, put out some tanks and make runs on them with bombs and rockets. Oh make sure you are 300 or faster for rockets, you will find with Hitech's physics these historic default gunsights I made for the game work as designed. The "V" represents rockets on your wings if you want to focus a shot from a wing, top is 400 and bottom is 800-1000. The two bars below are for glide bombing at angles. If you are 500-1000AGL at 300-350 level, the bottom of the 100Mil ring is about 800-400 for rockets.
I've super imposed them over this one I updated for dmdchief. I verified that they work per the manuals.
This is the L3 in the P38, N9, and Mk8 in the Jug reticle superimposed.

This is the real fixed reticle for the P51D from the K14A gunsight super imposed.

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH,
MIDNIGHT MADE THIS SIGHT WAY BACK IN ACES HIGH I and I have used it ever since he sent it to me. Buster was kind enough to update it for me for III and ya'll are correct on the bottom boxes for bombs and mid boxes for rockets, in addition you can use the 45 degree lines to help with lead on an angles attack with just a little practice and get hits from 800 out with guns set all the way out.
SALUTE BUSTER

I remember seeing this sight after I first joined AH2 in 06 or 07 then when they changed the game designed/upgraded then it was gone

Download it to your desktop. Then you should be able to extract it.
-
Got it too! Thanks again
:banana:
-
ok, I finally got it downloaded, but is supposed to be so small?
-
Is there per chance a file with a .mil extension in the same place that you extracted the .bmp file to? That file needs to be in the sights directory also to control the size of the gunsight you see in your screen.

why yes there is--i'll try that as well
-
oh yes that did it much much better
-
It's Hitech's fault, he gave me the mil file gunsight building standard and I went over board......... :noid
