Is posible to move the text "Range XXXX" a little bit down ?

Look at this...

That looks great! Is it based off of a WWII PPI display? If not, would you be interested in making one that is?

Hi...

It is just the file made by Mraah, but with some erased lines, the dash circles and some angle marks.

Sadly i cant do that you mentioned, my skills are on photoshop, and this do not draw... it is needed people with skills on Corel Draw or Autocad.

I think so we must to be more than happy.... the 090-270 bug was fixed, the range rings was added by Mraah ... it is enough for me.

YES! Please do! These old eyes need something not quite as cluttered on the screen.

And a BIG thanks to Mraah for all his hard work!

Redwine, are you talking about the scope green background?
My first modified dds has a slightly better transparency improving the beam halo and thus the general dark background compared to the initial file (check the screenies on my previous post). I did this one fast with an "extracted" alpha channel from a selection directly on the principal layer.

I have made another file with the original alpha channel (from stock ppiCircles) wich looks better, I think.
If you want to try it let me know. I'll upl the dds and tga with alpha (or the .psd file if needed).

Its a Mraah... mod, not mine.

I sended the file to him.

I like it because it has not too much lines, is clear.

May be if you like it Mraah can include it in the mod as another choice.

If not i can send the file for you...

Here's the result with your file.
Let me know what you think. The background looks good to me and the beam transparency seems good.

Looks wonderful !

Looks right as yours, with a dark geen background.
I think so, it looks a little bit more realistic.

What i done wrong with the alpha chanel ?

Please, send the file to Mraah too, and may be he want the same alpha channel effect on his other files...

Mraah ! are you there ?

Nothing's wrong with the alpha; your background layer is the problem.

You have merged both the background and the circles ( with opacity too high).
It's easier to separate in 2 layers -> Pure black in the background (opacity 100%) and circles in the foreground wich allows fine settings of the transparency saturation and color independently.

I am upld your files at the moment. (mp soon)
I have sent a message to Mraah but no answer so far. All my tga, dds and psd are ready to dl if he wishes to use them.
