Some popular gun sights
« on: April 13, 2008, 11:59:42 PM »
Here are some of the more popular gun sights used by our squad. Some have been re done by adding larger dots and some are brand new while others old.

Some can be used for launching rockets and others are for just pure dog fighting like the dots. There is one that is used for the B25-H but I have better luck with just a simple sight for firing HE.

I hope this file can help someone be a better gunner or rocketeer. It would help if you let me know which ones you like or dislike.

No there are about 30 of them. Some old, some new some that have never been seen and others that have been enhanced. The older ones have had the dot size increased.

Edit: It's been downloaded 10 times out of 50 views so far with no D/L complaints.

T00L,
With your permission I would like to toss those into my sight pack that I am re-working, if that is cool with you. <S>

No problem and no need to ask Sketch.

I made a few of them and enhanced the rest. I would be HONORED if you put them in your gun sight pack!

Thanks a lot for taking a peak at them, I hope someone can find them useful,

Joe (A8T00L

Tool, good sights, but for some reason, the red half sight doesn't work for me.  :rolleyes:

And some other ones look somewhat rough in-game. Good, but rough. I'm a perfectionist, and I like my gunsights smooth looking.

I download the sights after deleting the default one. The downloaded file names itself default but comes out blank and doesn't work. It gets downloaded as a .rar file but doesn't convert itself to bmp. How can I get this to work? Is there a how to on sights? Haven't seen one anywhere and I'm not too cpu savvy. Would really like to use some other sights. >

Ok the long way.  Open my computer/ select your C: drive / open that/ go to programs/ find the HTC file/ open that/ find sights file/ open that and leave it open but make the window smaller on the screen. Then open the RAR file/ select the sights you want then drag them into the sights file..... or copy and paste them in the sights folder if you don't know how to make the window smaller on the screen to drag them in.

 Now open AH and go to hanger. Choose the plane you want to change the sight on then click on options/preference then finally gun sights and go through the list picking and choosing which sights you want to use to be displayed on each plane you use.

If you find one you like, rename your old default/ default1 or something and name the one your wanting to use default. It will set all planes that have not been set to display a sight already to the sight you chose as your default.

the "xxxx_alpha.bmp" is an add on file to make the main file work correctly.  So you would have an "boredot.bmp", and a boredot_alpha.bmp" these two files are meant to work together. An alpha file is used to adjust transparency. Using different shades going from black to white allows more transparency or less depending on the shade. This allows more, or less of the main file to show through.

You would choose the file with out the "_alpha" in it, but it would bring it along anyway. This is how they get those "glowing" site you see every now and then in the screen shots.
