A view of a weapon which belongs to the AI aircraft

[Basher11]

Out of many flight simulation games, there are always keys for viewing weapons launched by either the player or the AI.

 

Is it really really no such views available in this game? What a pity if it is!

[Silverbolt]

yes, wingwiner did a mod for this.

I have this video and I really want to view the AGM-84A launched from the B-57B. Currently I have no key for viewing that.

This is his modification:

[View024]

ViewName=WeaponView

ObjectFrom=SearchPlayerWeapon

// If would you like to switch between ALL weapons in the game remove ( delete ) a PLAYERLAUNCHED from [searchPlayerWeapon] section.

 

 

[searchPlayerWeapon]

ViewObjectGroupName=MissileGroup

ViewObjectStatusFlag=PLAYERLAUNCHED

 

 

You might not believe this, but I actually figured it out by myself about [ViewClass011]. I am so glad that I think the same way as he did. That part is to let us look at the weapon from all angles.

 

But I completely get stuck at switching between ALL weapons in the game. I had absolutely no idea it is related to [searchPlayerWeapon] section not even by way of a wold guess. Thanks Solverbolt for the pointer and thanks to Wingwiner.

[Basher11]

Wingwiner's weapon view works admirably well! Thanks Wingwiner.
