[MOD Request] Spitfire and Hurricane Reflector Gunsights... - Guest - 27.05.2009

Hi All.

I was just wondering whether anyone else agrees with me that the early Hurricane and Spits gunsights could be improved?

I was wondering about this, and when I saw the beaufighters gunsight; I realised that it would be perfect.

(sorry Agracier to use your picture :wink: )

Does anyone else agree that this would greatly improve the spit and hurricane cockpits? I think that this would really add to the sim :wink:

Agreed, the later sight looks plain wrong in a Hurricane I.

The reflector sights have already been improved, are you talking about the reticules, or the sight itself?

The actual sight. I know the spit mk 1 was improved for the later version, but I think that the one as shown in the beaufighter is much better.
Avala did a superb job though of improving the actual reticle.
BoB WoV is a good example of a great early reflector gunsight.

Check out the sight as used in the A2A Supermarine Spitfire Mark 1:
IMHO this is perfect, and the one used in the beaufighter is a good match. DOes anyone who flies RAF Battle of Britain agree with me?

Wow, that's beautiful... I've kind of toyed with the idea of a new cockpit model for the Spit as the old one is a bit... well, lacking; however I've got the 219's to do first and I still want to actually finish both the Ar240 and my King Tiger. I don't suppose any of the other 3D artists could be conned into making a more detailed and accurate Spitfire cockpit? :lol:

Avala's already done a superb job on both the spit and hurri's, but I'm not sure he has looked into the actual reflector gunsight. I'm sure that if a group of 3D modellor's sat together, some superb work could be created. :wink:

I was thinking more of a whole new model rather than a reskin. Something to bring it up to the Tempest's standard of detail at the very least.

I mean, come on, some of us practically live in the thing. :roll:

It's an idea. I hope some of the modellors read this. However, time does come into this, and with all the other projects going on-a new reflector gunsight would IMHO be enough for the mo'.

One more thing.

Check out the new Gladiator cockpits everyone:

One of the versions has teh correct mark II baker gunsight. Would it be possible to have this modded over to the early hurricanes and spitfires? :wink:
