Sorry, I've lost some confidence, it happens,right?

It's because I feel REALLY bad comparing my work to NWD's, hope you understand.

here it is...

Hi ;D Here is my second mod.

First I have to thank NWD for his beautiful reticle mod (that also come with UP2.0), I use his mod as a base for this mod. Originally, I only modified his mod so that it match the size of the stock version (FW-190's wingtip-to-wingtip at 150m, his is 100m)...and I got too far...and it became this, but still share many similarities with NWD's. So I think I'd like to share it with everybody.

So....NWD, if you don't like what I did, I'll just delete the mod and keep it to myself. :)

don't worry, it's not a direct copy!

(I cannot contact him, if someone know him personally please tell him about this)

Well...here it is. (V1)

I have not spoken to NWD in some time, but he helped me once way back when we were both just starting out, he is a very cool dude, so I dont think you need to worry :)

Nice mod, keep em coming!

Thank you, I sometimes worry too much, especially when I think people might feel bad for what I've done.

Post by: Pursuivant on May 21, 2010, 10:17:19 AM: Looks good. Don't worry about "copying" someone else's work - you're working with historical, copyright free images (i.e., the sight reticule) and tweaking them so they're right.

Post by: Messer on May 22, 2010, 06:12:45 AM: Great reticle! I like that it's more de-focused and blurred in some parts, while sharp and glowy (like NWDs) in others. :)
