Release version 1.0, more historic accurate (N3 gunsight with special P-39 gunsight mark). For P-400, P-39D-1, P-39D-2, P-39N-1.
For install just extract it into your MODS folder.

Looks good MAHA. Huge improvement over the stock one.

I finished a lot more reticles a while ago and forgot to update them. I had some P-39s in the batch too. I'll post them in a few minutes.

I love flying the P-39 and wish something could be done about the cockpit. A makeover of just the frame color would be a tremendous improvement.

I'd love to see one of the cockpit gurus take this one on one day.

Sorry, ran out of time. Leaving town for a week. I'll post them when I get back.

Which gunsight is more suitable for early P-39s? Maybe P-40 or B-25 gunsight? Havn't got any information about it. Need help Big Grin

MAHA,
The brightened reticle is an improvement.

I think your question to Catahoulak is about reticles, so I will let him take that one.

But I think that the gunsight on the game P39 is a variant of the N3, probably N3B, rather than an N9. I will look closer tonight. I'm not sure if airacobras flown by the VVS had N3 sights or if a Russian sight was installed.

N3B


As a side project I was considering upgrading the graphics of the P38 gunsights, but I could do the P39 also, higher quality versions of this sight are available.

Good Luck,

Poncho

Hi!

I have a PDF book, called "AeroHobby, Early P-39 Airacobras in the Soviet Air Force"
appears well written in my folder in Windows, because the book is in Cyrillic :? :?



But the book is highly illustrated with photos and diagrams of the aircraft in general and the cockpit in particular .


The case that always gunsight appears named "ST-1A" for P-400/D1/D2 models, and in the P-400 model, in the right of ST-1A, appears an auxiliar gunsight , type "Ring and Bead," similar to those of the first P-51/47 types.

But IHMO, the russians P-39 gunsight, is not a N3 model.

Perhaps some Russian friend, like Mangas :wink: , keep this book and we can report, much better than me, with my poor English :oops:

The Russians Airacobras , also carrying that model, no doubt. The version that took the P-400, has an auxiliary gunsight, on the right type "ring and bead"



But for some reason, received the designation ST-1A
