HSFX History Mod - -)-MAILMAN- - 19.11.2010

The History Mod must be activated to play a modded game in HSFX 4.11 plain and simple. We are stuck with mods that were embedded in it whether we like them or not. At least one was incorrectly done, which I am addressing here, and was still only listed Beta up until HSFX became the standard. Has anyone come up with a way to disable or override the US Gunsight Mod by NWD.

In his thread NWD said that he made the reticles match the size of the gun sight glass which made the reticles larger (and less accurate) than the original Oleg reticles, most notably the USN Mk8 sight. Oleg's original Mk8 correctly put the wing span of the Zero touching the inner ring at 900 ft (this is why the historic convergence of USN/USMC aircraft had convergence set from 900-1000 feet with .50 mg mounted on the wings). This is important when you are estimating range on a server with icons off.

Don't get me wrong, his artwork on the sights are outstanding, just the scale is wrong and it even prevents you from seeing the outer ring and graduation marks of the Mk8 gun sight. He also incorrectly put the Mk8 gun sight into the F3F-3 and incorrectly put the N3 gun sight into the F4U-1 and Corsair MkI.

Someone, can't remember who, put out a Defualt Reticle Mod, but this doesn't fix the F4U-1/Corsair MkI and it also removes the gun sights from the P-400 and P-39's.

Any help with this would be appreciated.
