Where can I view and download gun sights?

I'm having a brain cramp and can't find it.  

Thanks.

You're welcome, but it seems I've reformatted my computer on accident, so now I have to use my own links to get gunsights back :lol .

Same package.... just hosted in two different places.  Ranger is doing some work on some and we should have a new pack out soon.

Well, since you mentioned it, how do you reformat a computer by accident?

I have no clue, it was frozen badly so I shut it down the wrong way (pressing and holding the big button).  When I came back it gave me option of either reformatting and not backing up and reformatting and backing up.  I never got a chance to choose and it just started doing whatever it wanted.

I'm as clueless as anyone here.

Never seen that before, and I use the big button often.

The infuriating answer is to use a gunsight you have confidence in.  

For dogfighting, a simple boresight dot is enough for many.  Other markings can help stay you "in plane" or even guesstimate lead.

For attack sorties, other markings can help with dropping bombs or rockets.

I was looking for the "no skill" gunsight because I like it for attack sorties.  I'd been specializing in fighter sorties only, but was getting back into attack sorties to lure the bad guys out of thier hangars or to help with base captures.

What the heck, buildings don't shoot back.

Sketch, I'm already using a gunsight pack, but could you please post a link to one of these 'no skill' gunsights?  Also, if there's a text file that explains its markings, that would be great.

Thanks,

Sketch,

The no skill sight was in the pack of sights.

I was looking for it because a squaddie was raving about how much he liked it.  I'd used it before and had switched to a boresight for furballing.  Since I was doing more attack sorties again, I wanted to try it again.

When I installed it, I was reminded why I didn't use it any more.  When the hogs were redesigned the no skill site was way-magnified to basically crosshairs.

Do you have a no-skill site that fits the Corsairs better?  Or maybe have a tip on how to resize it for the Corsair?
