You can download a sight pack from our squadron site. The pack includes a random selection of sights. Cant remember where they all came from, but I do know a few are from Bustr's historic pack. Feel free to use them.

I gather the bitmap files got into the AH gunsight folder. What happens to the text files?

I believe all of bustr's historic sites made it into AH3. Download and install the beta and then copy the guns it's folder over to AH2.

Remember with my gunsights there are two files of the same name you have to copy to your sights directory. The bitmap and the size control file. Below is an example:

gunsight.bmp
gunsight.mil

Without the mil file the bitmap will show up too tiny to use.

If you have installed the latest beta, another choice is to copy the beta sights directory, then rename the AH2 sights directory and paste the beta sights directory into the Aces High directory. What will happen, is every single airplane or gun position with an optical gunsight in the AH2 game will have it's historic gunsight assigned to it.

As for P51 gunsights, which P51 gunsight? There were many over the last 15 years.
