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.

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 :(


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.

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:
 



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.
