Tactical Laser System Pods 1.0.0

           ****    Tactical Laser System Pod (TLS) ****
_______________________________________________________________________

This mod contains the Tactical Laser System from Ace Combat franchise.

You will be able to fly with a powerful laser beam generator, that can
tear a carrier up, blow up half of an airbase, or split in two bombers from
10+ km of distance.

The pack includes three versions of the TLS pod:
- TLS-01: A generic POD available to all countries
- TLS-01_F-15: Specific for F-15E
- TLS-01_Su-37: Specific for Su-37
(The exact F-15E and Su-37 are detailed below, they must be downloaded)

*Installment:

Drop the content into your mod folder (C:\Users\[User Name]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[ModFolder])
as usual, taking into account a couple of things:

1. There are two aircraft (F-15_14 and Su-37 Terminator), both folders only
   contains two modified INIs. One is the DATA.INI from each aircraft and
   the other is for LOADOUT. Both aircraft are the ones having its own dedicated
   TLS Pod in Ace Combat 7, thus I picked both of these aircrafts from the
   excelent Add-on mods that we have here. In case you don't have them, you can
   download them from these links, install them and then copy the modified INIs
   which includes the laser pod and loadout (AirToAirLaser).

The links to download them are:

Su-37 Terminator:

2. Once you install the Red Laser Gun and copied some lines into the BulletObject.INI
   there is a chance that the laser wont appear while you are firing it. In order
   to solve this you should copy these lines in the R-TLS_Data (inside Guns folder)

[RedLaserEffects]
TracerEmitterName=RedLaserBeam
GroundHitEffectName=20mmGroundHitEffect
GroundHitSoundName=DirtHit
WaterHitEffectName=CannonWaterHitEffect
WaterHitSoundName=
ObjectHitEffectName=20mmObjectHitEffect
ObjectHitSoundName=Impact3
ArmorHitEffectName=20mmObjectHitEffect
ArmorHitSoundName=Impact3
AirBurstEffectName=FlakEffect
AirBurstSoundName=FLAK3

Then it should work fine.

KNOWN ISSUES

1. The generic pod may not be visible during the loadout screen, this may happen
because the measures of the pod exceeds the limits from the Gun Pod station of
the aircraft. It can be fixed by adjusting the length/diameter/weight limit
in the weapon station of the aircraft.

Measures of the Pod (estimated from images of the AC7 pod and the real measures
of a SUU-23 Gun Pod):

Mass: 1406.7 kg
Length: 7.312 m
Diameter: 0.92 m (moreless)

2. Also, I have not managed to fly with the full loadout of the Su-37, in my case
It only loads the laser pod and the rest of the pylons are empty (I have to select
the weapons manually), I guess this may be a problem of my installation, if
anybody has this problem tell me.
