AC-130A Gunship UPDATED

--------------------------C-130A Spectre Gunship----------------------------------

 

Thanks for downloading! This is a little mod of the stock C-130A offering available in the Wings Over Europe game, and in Strike Fighters Project One/Gold. I simply added some guns, and a nice cockpit, and painted it. This was released a few years back, but the lineup of the weapons were all defunct. I went ahead and placed the proper guns, and added a new one......A freaking M102 Howitzer cannon! It is a makeshift upgrade I did, and I like the results. It is pretty devistating as well. You will need Del's C-130 cockpit to make this work, or alternately, you an use whatever cockpit you want. I supplied an enhanced avionics suite, and also moved the cockpit position.

 

The US Air Force uses the AC-130 gunships for close air support, air interdiction, and force protection. Close air support roles include supporting ground troops, escorting convoys, and flying urban operations. Air interdiction missions are conducted against planned targets and targets of opportunity. Force protection missions include defending air bases and other facilities. Stationed at Hurlburt Field in Northwest Florida, the gunship squadrons are part of the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), a component of Special Operations Command (SOCOM).

 

 

INSTALL:

1.extract zip to root of your sim.

 

2.add weapon and gun data provided below

 

3.Copy/paste the cockpit folder from Del's C-130H ,J, or which ever one you have into your AC-130A folder.

 

4.Blow stuff up.

 

////THANKS\\\\

 

I want to give a huge thank you to Dels,Combatace, and the original author of the AC-130 gunpod. Without you, none of this would be possible. Del's makes some nice C-130s, and be looking forward to my mod of his bird next. I am going to make an AC-130U Spooky out of it. Look for that here soon, hopefully!

 

 

 

///DATA

Here are the entries for the weapon editor for the 2 pods. Add them to your Weapondata.ini file. Replace the WeapondataXXXX with the next number in sequence. Then use the weapon editor, open the forementioned Weapondata.ini file with it. Save it, and close! You are done. If you have bunyaps weapon pack, or any others installed, do a quick search of your ini to make sure you do not have these already.

 

The guns are in the next section. Pretty much the same thing, but you open your GunData.ini file instead. After that, open the gun editor. Open the Gundata.ini file, then save. You are now ready to go kick some ass!
