SmokeyTheLung Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) blueHUD.tga default_grid_AAA BRADLEY.tga default_grid_AAA CROWS.tga Zoomed out blueHUD.tga Had some fun making these and wanted to share them with you guys. As you can see we've got an M1A1 style reticle (replaces BlueHUD.tga) a CROWS style reticle (replaces default_grid_AAA.tga) and a Bradley style reticle (replaces default_grid_AAA.tga). Installation: *Back up blueHUD.tga and default_grid_AAA.tga in your EagleDynamics/DCS World/Mods/tech/CombinedArms/Cockpit/Rescources folder. *Replace blueHUD.tga with included blueHUD.tga (This is the Abrams tank reticle) *Replace default_grid_AAA.tga with either default_grid_AAA BRADLEY.tga or default_grid_AAA CROWS depending on which you prefer :) make sure you remove the "BRADLEY" or "CROWS" from the name of the file you choose, so it has the same name as the file you're replacing. Much credit to Pikey for the good idea. Hope you all enjoy. DISCLAIMER: These sights were very quickly thrown together, things like stadia ranging for the Bradley sight won't work, unless I got really lucky :D and sadly the abrams sight will allways read 1590 meters... Note that default_grid_AAA.tga is a universal sight, so replacing with one of these will change a lot of the vehicle sights They also differ from the defaults in that they are scaled for zooming in. With the default zoom they're quite small (especially the M1A1 reticle), hopefully the pics will say it all. Also, as someone who has never released a mod I hope you'll let me know if anything needs further explanation or doesn't work :helpsmilie:CA US Reticle Mod.zip Edited July 19, 2012 by SmokeyTheLung System specifications: Computer, joystick, DCS world, Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiJack Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 For those who want to aim the correct way this is the one to read: Aiming rules for Bradley - a197246.pdf (HJ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime if anyone would like to request a specific reticle (real or fictional), just post up a photo of it and I'll see what I can do. ...off to work, damn :( :D Edited July 17, 2012 by SmokeyTheLung System specifications: Computer, joystick, DCS world, Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyTheLung Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Fixed a few things with the sights and updated the first post. I mainly adjusted the horizontal boresight for the reticles, it's been tough as the sights for some weapons are quite off-axis from the bore. trying to find a good balance. Also had to give our eastern bloc brethren some love... redHUD.tga System specifications: Computer, joystick, DCS world, Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrigan Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 That looks (from a layman's perspective) very good! Win10 x64 | SSDs | i5 2500K @ 4.4 GHz | 16 GB RAM | GTX 970 | TM Warthog HOTAS | Saitek pedals | TIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyTheLung Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Also, I need to give credit where it's due: Steel beasts pro (and the users kind enough to post screenshots of it in action) The tank sights are based on theirs. The artwork is original but is essentially traced from screenshots of that sim. System specifications: Computer, joystick, DCS world, Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
