Hot off the line, here is my new Giro Mk II gunsight. It was used in later Spitfires, such as the Mark XIV. You could easily dial it in to the type of aircraft you were attacking. It was so good it became known as the "Acemaker"

[Linked Image]

I have a few more details to add for the mount, and I will make these new sights available soon. Worked my butt off on this one, over a hundred layers to the image. Speaking of layers, and since onions, like this image, and ogres, like Shreck, all have layers, I am dedicating this project to our dear departed friend Herr Shreck. I think he would like it.

Cheers,

CJ

Looks like another nice upgrade.

FWIW, I already incorporated the earlier one into the 1.6 aircraft inventory. When I finish the Eastern aircraft project I'll send an entirely new package, including any upgraded gunsights, up to the GEN for Jel to include in a new patch.


Heck, even paranoids have enemies.

Glad things are working out with the new src modifications and supplied graphics Its about time, but that's probably what you needed all along.
