Feedback appreciated.
This gunsight is tailored for use at d600 range or lower. Anything inside the star-shaped sight will guarantee to be hit if you firing at it d600 or lower. The shape takes into account dispersion (as best as I could). So if you got the target inside the star you got a high chance of hitting in that area.
file submitted post below, the one you see here is for explanation only.
Edit: Hmm.. for some reason I cant attach the new jpg. Putting it at the bottom of thread

here's the file:
-
I'll try it!:confused:
-
Nice sight tac
it's sittin in the cockpit of the ol 38 right now
good job
-
Great job! What convergence setting should the guns be set at, 650? Can you make a red one? Your sight now has a home in my sights file for evaluation :)
THANKS! :)
-
just open the sight in PAINT and FILL the black lines with the color you want.
Edit: Hmm.. I tried doing that.. but it doesnt change to red color. Weird. Sorry, I really dont have a clue. I tried changing the gunsight color to grey, to red , to pink, to cyan.. when I put it on AH offline they either looked black or white or dissapeared (pink).
I just uploaded an updated sight in my first post, I noticed the tick markers for the 20mm's and rockets were too high up.

Explanation:
1 - 45/55 degree dive angle bombsight when at d2.0 to d1.0 distance. Also doubles as ROCKET sight when firing them at 45 degrees or LESS, d800 to d1.5 range.
NOTE: The above only works if 38 has been in a dive for 1 or 2 secs and has "stabilized" its dive vector. Dont expect to flip nose over top, aim this and have them hit)
2 - Deflection aim point for 50 cal MG at d450-d600 range
3 - Aim point for rockets and bombs when on high angle (60 degrees to 80 degrees) dive on target OR when target is close (d800 or less). Doubles as aim point for 20mm range d500-d700.
4 - 20mm aim point for range d300 to d500
NEW EXPERIMENTAL: 5 - Negative G Rocket / High Alt Bomb aimpoint. For use for dive bombing at high altitudes (8k~12k) at angles 45 degrees to about 75 degrees. Also for firing rockets when pulling negative g's when at about d1.5/4k alt out. It works so-so when I use it, i've found that the higher the angle, the better it works.

Hey Tac,
If ya want to change the color, the color you want to use needs to be in the images color index. The best way to do this is with an image editor with a bit more capability than MSPaint. Something more along the lines of Photoshop or The Gimp for the Linux crowd :cool:
-
photoshop? doesnt that cost money? ;) :D
-
Now Tac will this gunsight work for a P51?
-
that thing is ugly as all hell :)
looks like scribble
no thanks :)
-
*passes a $100 bill under the table to Wotan*
Go away...
;)
-
Nice work Tac,thanks :)
-
Works pretty damn good on my Yak and 109. Wonder if it will work on the 202 and 205's nose guns? Well whatever. it is one of the best for nose mounted gun AC.
-
Very complicated, it will look terrible on my monitor
-
Gimp runs under windows too
http://www.gimp.org
Free and in beer AND speech.
The transparency of the image is whatever the last color in the pallette is.
-
Looks nice, I wanna download it but where do I save it??
-
Just go to your HTC folder then Aces High folder and save in the Sights folder.:D
-
Anyone have this gunsight still in their sights folder?
This is Tac btw, i lost my gunsight (and forum password sigh) when my old pc fried about 8 months ago.
-
doh.
:(
-
name of the gunsight should be 'star' or 'gunstar' or something like that.
-
bah, i use to have it , but after 2 format Cs, nadda.:(
if anyone finds it, i would like it again as well.
-
You are in luck in pal ... where do I send it to or you will have to wait till I get home from work and I will post it here.
It's called p38gunstar.bmp
Its right here (http://24.151.4.182:82/images/p38gunstar.zip)
-
Am I blind or i'm just not seeing jack?
-
Wolf ... look at the original date of the thread.
Tac did have a picture of the sight in this thread but since he toasted his machine/hd he no longer has it and it does not show.
If that doesnt clear it up for you ... No you are not blind ... I haven't seen Jack in a couple of days myself and if I run into him ... I will tell him you were looking for him.
:D

wolf: HTC used to host pictures for us in 2002 , not anymore.
SLAPSHOT gets brownie points for having the gunsight! :D
Im fowarding an updated version of it (ah2 seems to have better resolution, the old AH1 sight was too 'thick') to Skuzzy so he can put it in the downloads section.

I probably have collected more gunsights than most could imagine.
Did you make adjustments to compensate for the new gunnery model ?
Why don't you see if AERO (Mitsu's friend) will redo it for you ... that guy is a master at making gunsights.
-
no i did not compensate for the new gunnery model because the sight itself is not based on where bullets fly to but the 'area' where they might hit.
I tried my 'thinner' version last night and it works like a charm.
-changes the + shaped rocket aimpoints to O shaped.. in AH2 the detail is so much higher and gv's/planes look lots smaller than in AH1 so you kinda need to see where you shooting :)
can you host the file slapshot? I tried imagedump but the fediddleers dont allow BMP files :(
-
Below is a black background pic with pointers to the explanation posted higher up in the thread.
I tested it last night and it still works rather good in the 38 and the 110 and A20.. dont know about fighters with wing loaded guns.

um, i d/l the site, applied it in game, jump in cockpit and it is white?! shouldnt it be black? i messed with the alpha slide bar afterward, now it is transparent at least, any ideas?

No problem ... I will host it ... send it to my email in my profile.
-
killnu, the gunsight slapshot has is old and needs to be recolored.
the one i posted from imagedump is just a pic of the gunsight with explanations on it.. its NOT the gunsight itself. it has no transparency :P
ill send it over to slapshot and lasersailor so they can host the new AH2 version.
-
Tac, could ya just email me a copy?
jjgeasey@yahoo.com
if not, i can wait. thanks
-
Is it possible to get a copy of that gunsight?
Or could someone be kind enough to email to me.
rsyl4mxp@yahoo.com
Thanks in advance
-
Thanks SKetch, I received it :)
-
FTJR, if you got it, could you send it to me, email addy is 3 post up.
-
erm guys the old sight in the previous posts do not work well with AH2..its an AH1 gunsight. The aimpoint for guns is higher up , the rocket aimpoints dont work well either.
Ive worked on the gunsight adapting it to the AH2 gunnery and flight model and I think i have it nailed down now. I didnt want to post the final version or email to anyone until i did some test runs on TA and the MA.
Here's the one ive tested and im happy with its results:
(http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=202634)
Explanation:
1: P-38G & J rocket aimpoints @ 1 to 3k alt and 45 to 50 degree dive.
****Also aimpoint for BOMBS when at 50 to 80 degree dive @ 2 to 5k alt
2: Rocket aimpoint for all 38s when at 2k to 3k alt 50 to 80 degree dive
3: P-38L rocket aimpoints @ 1 to 3k alt 45 to 50 degree alt.
4: Bomb aimpoint for 45 degree dive @ 2k alt.
*** Also aimpoint for ROCKETS when at 1k alt level flight (of course slight aiming downwards) at around 300mph.
5: Red area circle is the dispersion of MG's and 20mm cannon at d100 to d800. Best 'tight' dispersion at d600.
Im e-mailing it to all the above e-mails.
Put any feedback on it here please.
-
thanks..:D
-
Thanks also. Killinu do you still need me to pass it on?
-
