The idea, I think, is that smartlinks project a crosshair in your field of
vision (on your eye, to be precise) while a telescope magnifies the
picture. However, becaue the smartlink doesn't know you're looking through
the telescope, it won't project the crosshairs in the right place.
This should be possible to fix by building an option into the smartlink
computer that can be told which power telescope sight you're using, or by
combining smart goggles and telescope sights into one <plug> for which you
may want to check out a net.book called Running Gear at
