Updated to work in the current Avorion version.
Original Mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2538356784

What does this mod do?
The mod provides gun sights for better targeting with projectile weapons. The gun sights take shooting/targeted ships velocities into account.

Enjoying firing your machine guns/cannons/bolters etc? Having trouble hitting your enemies with them? Then this is the mod for you!

Features:

• Leading gun sights for your current target. No more misses. Just aim at the reticle and shoot!
• Sights can be activated/deactivated by pressing '/' on the keyboard. You will hear a distinctive sound.
• Three colors of the reticle: Red - out of reach, Yellow - could be reached by some weapons, Green - all clear.
• Reticle position is calculated for average velocity of all your projectile guns (lasers/seekers do not count).

Known issues:

• Reticle is hidden behind the objects. This occurs because of the reticle not being a UI object but rather 3d object in the world (visible only by the current player).
• All weapons, even in inactive weapon groups are taken into account when calculating.

Does this mod still work?:
As of August 20th, 2024. Yes this mod still works. I have been playing Avorion again and looking into mods that I worked on myself and those that I've re-uploaded. Been testing them with various mods for compatibility and other issues.
