Antorian Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I've created a targeting bracket for ground targets that has a crosshair so you can line up the shots easier. Here's how to install it. 1. download file 2. locate arcade.tga in C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\tech\CombinedArms\Cockpit\Resources 3. back up file 4. replace arcade.tga with the one included in the zip. 5. enjoy :Darcade.zip 1 Windows 10 Intel Core i5 4670k CPU 3.4 GHz 16GB RAM MSI RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog TrackIR 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxwxl Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I've tried Apocalypse31 and Antorian's little mod, both of them are awesome, we now have a little tools for the AP rounds to aim properly~~ I tested both of these two, and find a littile problem, Apocalypse31 's aiming point is sightly high, Ihave to aim the bottom of the AIMING point; Antorian's aiming cross is sightly low, I have to aim a little higher than the cross, hope you guys can creat a perfect aiming sight, thx!

Antorian Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Antorian's aiming cross is sightly low, I have to aim a little higher than the cross, hope you guys can creat a perfect aiming sight, thx! Alright so here's the issue. the reticle bracket is 66X66px. For a proper center you need a 1 pixel reticle but 66 doesn't allow that. 66/2=33 so you can't have a one pixel true center. My first reticle you spoke of is a one pixel reticle with 33 elevation, 32 windege on a 66x66 image so thats why I have an imperfect sight. I personally think that 2 pixels is a bit wide for a cross since it obsures the target and gives you a bit more play in the sight than desired but theres little you can do about it next to bumping up the resolution of the bracket to allow for an odd number in the length and width of the image allowing a true center measured by one pixel (which I don't know how to do). The targeting reticle is simply a lower, different resolution than the gun sight that is much higher. If they made the brackets a higher native resolution with an odd number as the scale (67x67 for example) we could have proper sighting with a true 1 pixel center. Anyway, this is my make shift solution. Its a crosshair with brackets with a 2x2 pixel center dot. You need to line up the gun to the middle of the crosshairs of the bracket and it'll hit dead on. I engaged a hind at 2.2 nm and knocked it down with a 120mm shot from a M1A2 AP round (track was not recoverable but I'll try to replicate and post later). Hope this helps and I'll be seeing if theres a better solution. I'm up for any ideas.arcadebetav1_1.zip Edited July 21, 2012 by Antorian Windows 10 Intel Core i5 4670k CPU 3.4 GHz 16GB RAM MSI RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog TrackIR 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart666 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Can I ask a question, is it feasible to have different optics for different tanks/afvs? Only if someone wants to model one for the Challenger2, Ive a manual for a challenger 1 which at least as far as the standby optics are concerned is reasonably accurate. Ive also a manual for a Fox AC, which should be reasonably accurate for a Warrior. Ive also some Soviet stuff, including a T64a manual. Granted we dont actuall have one in the game, but it should prove close enough for early T72 models. Ultimately the real weakness as its stands is the rather gamey means of fire control. Its early days yet and I dont blame them for doing it like that, but some means of trying to simulate fire control systems in a more sophisticated fashion for the future would be good. Good work here by the way, the mods you are working on clearly look to be the way forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxwxl Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Can I ask a question, is it feasible to have different optics for different tanks/afvs? It seems that the CA only have these files called "BLUE HUD" "RED HUD" "universal_HUD", so maybe we are not able to have different sight, unless ED update the game to a new level Deka Ironwork Tester Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart666 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Ok, thanks for clearing that up. Whilst its a shame, I guess I can see why they have done it like that at the moment. Hopefully they will open this area up a bit in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
