Well I don't know where else to put this but I'm in need of help here on how to make the reticle bigger? It's current resolution of the reticle is 512x512 and in-game looks way too small, so I need help to know how to make it look bigger in-game.

PS: I put those pictures in as links because they are huge in resolution. :wink:

Anyone know? Please tell.

Bump..

Anyone know how to make a reticle relatively larger? If it is even possible?

Gunsight Reticles in IL2 are a specfic size and are Historically correct.

[semedar]

So I take it that you can't change the size of the reticle? Or there is a way but you don't agree with me making a historically incorrect reticle?

[zulu64]

It can be done someone here as already done it. There is a post here somewehere showing the increased sized reticle.

Yeah thanks for pointing me out to that! But I tried putting this to my reticle, but it is the same size.

What one of those settings change the size of the reticle? Does anyone know?

.... do try to edit actual reticle.tga ( watch for alpha if exist...)

I've resized RAF ones that way .... works w/o problem

I don't suppose I can request you to resize my reticle to make it fit on the whole K14 height-wise? Or can you run me through on how to do that whole Alpha channel thing? I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS3, btw.

Edit: Did you manage to resize them bigger, or smaller? Because I can easily resize it smaller, just not bigger..
