Good Job on the the gunsights ! they look alot better . I do have a question that maybe you or someone can help me with . On the early 109's ( E-1 thru E-4 ) and Me-110 C , they used the Revi 3 D gunsight
for reference the Ta-183 uses this sight in game , is there a way to copy this gunsight to the 109's / 110's ?


Thanks in advance

I was under the impression that the Revi 3c/3d gunsights (the only difference was the voltage) had been largely phased out by 1940, and that Revi C/12C and C/12D gunsights were fitted to Bf 110Cs and Bf 109Es during the Battle of Britain. I could be wrong about that.

In any case, the gunsight in the Ta-183 is an Askania EZ-42. It's supposed to be a gyro gunsight, but the functionality was never implemented by Oleg's team. There's a mod on AAA that makes it work like the K-14, although that's not quite right either--the real thing had a single reticle masked by an adjustable aperture, with the back of the aperture cleverly mirrored to project the ring. I haven't worked out the scripting and vertex animations I need to make it work yet, but it's on the list.

The only Revi 3c/3d in the game is the horrible model in the B-239. It doesn't look anything like the real gunsight, but that's what it's supposed to be. I've replaced it with the gunsight from the J8A, for now. The one in the Swedish Gladiator looks like a Revi 3a/3b, although I don't know why the backup sight ring is so tiny (it's supposed to be 445 mm in diameter). The Japanese Zeros use the type 98 gunsight, which is a nearly 1:1 copy of the German Revi 2b. The Revi 2b and Revi 3b are extremely similar; I have no idea what the internal differences are.

I plan to take the type 98 model and make a Revi 3d out of it, but it's a very low priority right now. I won't do it until I remodel the US gunsights, and I don't plan on doing that for a while either.


If you just want the reticle, J8A/reticle.tga and J8A/reticle_glow.tga are the right scale. You'll have to paste them in the middle of 1024x1024 targas for them to show up the right size in the Bf-109, however. The Bf 110C shares its cockpit with the Bf 110G, so you can't just copy files for that one.
