A8 Revi sight fix

[Mosler]

So tinkering i fixed the missalingment of the revi gunsight so if you want to try it you should go to: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\FW-190A8\Cockpit\Scripts\Gunsight_REVI_16B\Indicator

open the: PilotSight_page

 

and change this lines

 

reticle.material = "INDICATION_REVI_16B"

reticle.tex_coords = {{0,0},

{1,0},

{1,1},

{0,1}}

 

to

reticle.material = "INDICATION_REVI_16B"

reticle.tex_coords = {{0,0},

{44/42,0},

{44/42,44/42},

{0,44/42}}

Note this is not a proper fix, since the auxiliary sight is still missaligned.

Is it just me, or are shots going up and left from the article's center? Is that the misalignment?

Also is the sight the same one in the 109K4?

Yes it's the same gunsight. It was standard gunsight in 1944-1945 (Ez 42 Gyro was not used on lot of plane).

 

If you look carefully to late war german plane (Me 262, Me 163, Bf 109 and Fw 190, ...) you get always the same gunsight. But before 1944 there were different gunsight for differents plane but they where all working the same way.

 

Those gunsight have a calibrated circle taht allow you to measure distance with the target.

Imagine a B 17 (30 m large).

 

If you can place 2 B17 next to each other in the circle, you make this simple math :

2 x 30 x 10 (always x 10) = 600 ===> The B 17 is 600 m away from you.

 

This way to work is applied on all german gunsight from begining of the war to the end. Only the EZ 42 gyro is different.
