Reflector Gunsight (STW)

Reflector gunsight MC made for STW,

A reflector gunsight IRL works in the way that no matter where your eye position is, the crosshair is supposed to point where your guns will fire.

In Stormworks normal gunsights dont work accurately when your head is to one side or the other, as the point of view moves slightly left, right, up and down depending on where you are looking.
This MC fixes this via taking your LookX and LookY to counteract this offset, keeping your guns shooting centred relative to the crosshair.

This specific example is set up for my IL-2 with a single block gap between the seats hitbox and the 1x1 hud, for a male character (Female character has slightly lower point of view), thus it might not work for everything, see below on info on how to tune it for your aircraft.

To tune this MC for your own aircraft or whatever you feel like putting this on, you need to manually adjust the positioning and modifiers on the MC. (Warning: To set up your own crosshair, basic LUA knowledge is needed!)

On the properties when you select the microcontroller, there are three variables to tune:

• Multiplier X
  
• Multiplier Y
  
• Vertical Pixel Offset

These control how your crosshair will be positioned,
Multiplier X will multiply the LookX output, to make the crosshair move horizontally. The higher the number, the more it will try to move to the side to compensate for your horizontal looking movement.
Multiplier Y is the same, but for your vertical looking.
Vertical Pixel Offset will offset your crosshair up or down depending on what you have set it to.

If the crosshair moves too much when you look to the side (Towards where you pointed), lower the number for that modifier
If the crosshair constantly points low or high, change the vertical offset to match the center of aim

For setting up your own crosshair, you will need to edit the LUA code, see inside the LUA script in the MC on what everything does and what to do with what variables.
