I don't know if this is any help but a mod for SH4 "Green Crosslines" might point to the right files or you may be able to PM him for advise, this is from the readme:

Green Crosslines for attack periscope, Observation periscope and TBT:
-Changes the black crosslines into green, for improving nighttime targetting.

Good hunting,
fvd

Cheers.

Firstly, yes the colour is hardcoded in SH3. That doesn't mean you can't work around it. If you want black lines all the time, just add said black lines to Periscope.tga (I mean literally draw them in the scope view exactly where the green lines are in the game) and you're done.

Secondly, it may interest you to know that the real U-boats did have the glowing green lines. I originally planned to include black lines in the OLC GUI until I found out that the green ones are actually historically accurate!

DONT LIKE MY PERISCOPE. THE CROSSHAIR COLOUR LOOKS LIKE IN TRASHY 1930'S SCIENCE-FICTION MOVIE. PLEASE PREPARE A MORE CLASSIC COLOUR TO BE INSTALLED WHEN I ARRIVE IN PORT. WOULD PREFER OAK-BROWN OR ANTHRACITE. FOR THE NIGHT I FANCY IVORY, A BRIGHT BEIGE TONE OR SILVER.

Open bearing.tga and make it black.

Edit:
Wait, are you saying you already tried that??? I could have sworn I'd tried it and it worked.
