Stationary Wonder Woman Crosshair Mod

[DickDastardly]

Hi all,
This mod is very simple -it replaces the dynamic crosshair (with the moving piper) in the "Wonder Woman" view with something more like a real crosshair:



To use it you'll first need to install Keyetys's SFS Mod tool which you can download here. Follow the instructions in the readme.html which explain where to put the dll and how to edit your Launcher.exe.config so that it's loaded.

Then download the crosshair mod from here to your desktop and unzip it. You should see a folder called "mods". Copy that folder into your C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover folder.

Finally, right click the game in Steam and select "Properties" followed by "Set Launch Options". Paste the following text into the box:

-mod=mods\wwgenericreticle

...and click "OK". That's it! When you launch the game you should now find that the WW crosshair has been replaced.

Additional Notes:
1. Although Luthier's explained that only those using cheats like transparent plane textures in multiplayer risk a ban, it might be wisest to disable the mod before joining a multiplayer game anyway just in case it's erroneously detected as a cheat. To do this, simply delete the text you added to the launch options in Steam and the mod will then be ignored the next time you start the game.

2. I wanted to duplicate the actual size and shape of the crosshairs for each aircraft in the WW view, but unfortunately this wasn't possible due to the way the game uses certain areas of the texture (if they're present) as a moving piper. My hope is that eventually the devs will add an option to display the real crosshairs in this view, making this mod redundant.

Cheers,
DD
