After about a months work the 'Real Gunsight Pack' is finally available.

Why should you download it?

1) because it gives you historically accurate gunsight reticules.
2) because those that have tested it comment that it makes deflection shooting easier; and
3) because it fixes the point of view on many of the sights that was causing your aim to be off - this may have something to do with no. 2

It comes in 2 flavours:

High detail - which includes all the files for JT's high detail, Spitfire cockpits (now converted for every Spit in PP6.1 and the Vc to boot) and the high detail P-38 and P-47D cockpits.

Low detail:

This is for use with the low detail default cockpits for the Spitfires, P-38J and P-47D.

http://www.luftwaffe.net/f/sdoe/files/realgunsightpacklowdetail.zip

This pack has no effect on on-line compatibility.

As usual see the 'readme' for details and exact instalation instructions
----------------------------
Note: the US Navy Mk VIII reticule is included in the pack but will have to wait for an update to the Corsair files from Jedi - hopefully these should make the next Planepack as the MkVIII is one of the most visually appealing sights..

What do you get? Well here are some examples:

The RAF GM2 MkII

The RAF Type I MkII

The Luftwaffe Revi C12-D

I am really surprised no-one else has gone raving mad at how good these are yet.....

BTW these are worth going raving mad!

Ok now that I have actually tried these (hehe) I can give my honest opinion.

They definitely improve aim for the very simple reason that bullets now pass through the dot exactly. Now this is a big deal and I'm surprised its never been fixed before but now it has.

Oh yeah they look cool too...
Yard did you re-align the Mustangs reticle? I can't wait for the USN Mk VIII.

At the mo there are three things to get that I think amplify and make way more interesting the gunfights in SDOE. They are these new reticles, Casualtys new gun sounds and someones new texture for gun impact flashes. They combine to make this game way cool.

Thanks Yardstick,
Snake

Excellent! Getting it now. First-rate job!

(And yes, the Corsair sight does look really cool. I'll post a pic after I clean up the parts of the pilot figure a bit--they are blocking the view at the moment).

umm.. I am going to say something here... I DL/Led the Gun sights and put them in today.
They are great to look at.Even with the Visual setting turned down to nothing... If you do not have them... get them.
Thank you YardStrick for the Great work you did.
