Title: reticle and environment maps
Post by: Mr_Blastman on December 18, 2006, 12:23:20 am

Are there any upgraded reticle mods to download out there?  The standard FS2 one is becoming hard to see with all the upgraded graphics - it blends in a large part of the time with whatever I'm shooting at so it becomes hard to put the shots on the target.  I've tried changing colors but that just doesn't cut it.

Also, are there any more upgraded environment mapped ships?  I LOVE the effect - and since it is finally working in 3.6.9 I'd love to see it on more and more ships.

I find yellow works really, really well.

You could also toggle high hud contrast by pressing K.

Yellow is indeed an good option, I actually never saw something yellow out there, expect for the vesudan Beams.
