[LASERDESIGNATOR]

SystemType=LASER_DESIGNATOR

CameraFOV=8.00000

CameraPosition=0.000,11.900,-0.960

CameraAngles=0.0,-30.0,0.0

SightTexture=avq23sight1.tga

SeekerRange=15.000000

SeekerGimbleLimit=30.000000

 

//new "camera"

//without groundtarget selected points forward 30° downwards

//locks on selected groundtarget when target is inside 60°cone

//(two times SeekerGimbleLimit=30.000000)

 

 

 

Optional Changes to RF-4C_AVIONICS.INI:

 

[TVDisplayData]

UseRadarTexture=FALSE

 

applyfilter=FALSE //removes green filter effect

 

 

 

And to make the new station useable:

Add to Weapondata.ini and renumber the added entry.

Then open weapondata.ini with latest WoI weapon editor and save.

BypassFilter=TRUE //deactivates the filter for the camera only but the green lock of the KA56 LGB camera stays

EODisplayFlags=268435456 //can be deleted as it doesn't get referenced by the Engine

 

Optional Changes to RF-4C_AVIONICS.INI:

 

[TVDisplayData]

 

applyfilter=FALSE //removes green filter effect in general

ApplyFilter=TRUE //with changes as above gives the LGB (KA-56A) green filter effect.

 

 

And the first one who manages to drop the KA-56A LGB gets a hundred buck faxed as soon as a track proves sucessfull release of the weapon.

 

S!
