About the Spit I addition...

Greybeard asked me to add my sight to this bird, but my 4.08 install has no "proper' Spit I, mine being an old AAA hack of the Spit Va. And so I went through the cockpit files he sent me, and worked 'in the blind' to incorporate my sight, including having to reorient it due to the different axis orientations. It was simple enough to do, the hier.him being the main alteration. I added one of my reticle masks and a reticle, and job done. It was up to Greybeard to test and adjust the sight position and set the POV to suit.

Added Hurricane Mod Filter. Resized all reticles to target a Bf 109E at 220 m (about 250 yards, which was historical convergence).



Closer to real one, I think:

Fixed mirror and its base to restore correct rear angle of view on all Hurricanes.

Installed this into #SAS within my v4.12, VP Modpack set up. I have it loading first before any other Mods which contain Hurricane MkI, II folders- i.e. Cockpits_(inc DBW) followed by HurricanePack_v2.1. Went into QMB to test it.
Works fine, however it has changed all the sights on all variants of Hurricane, whereas  it should only apply to MKI, MKII.
Can I make it work so the latter models , after 1942/3 as said, have the rectangular sights.
Also , I actually liked the Hurricane cockpits from Cockpits_(inc DBW). Whether they are correct or not , look more real. The cockpits which come with this Mod seem to lack the detail.
I'm presuming I'd have to extract the relevant files for the sights, whilst would like to have the nice rounded frames and the mirror resizing fix too.
Thanks.

Correction from me.. Before I'm beaten down.. I think I meant that I liked the cockpits from, I'm guessing, the Hurricane Pack_v2. 1. Anyway, not those shown in the photos in this topic.. OK.

OLD_DAD,
In the same way that, e.g., the Finnish Hurri gets its own cockpit elements utilized via a specific hier.him, one would need to create a .him file for the utilization of the newer gun sight.

This would require also to create another cockpit class for the purpose.

Or in the existing HurricaneMkII.class one could add code to test for the date, nationality or some other condition, and then invoke the appropriate .him.

Another route is to restore the newer (rectangular reflector) sight in the HurricaneMkII cockpit folder, using the stock hier.him entries. Be aware that the stock sight is built from separate bits and requires at least two hier.him fields.

All this is proffered without myself being up to date on the Hurri scene.

Many thanks WxTech. Some of your suggestions are beyond my skills in file construction and editing. I can just about manage copying instruction lines from files, folders, and do correct level nesting. I'll have to do a comparison of some of the files within  this sight Mod and those within other Hurricane I, II folders and see if I can sift out the elements needed.
