My friend, thanks so much!

No problem. Still working on a sollution to retain the orginal Rocket tray with real rockets. Which I find to be most realistic.

Weird. No Rocket tray animation. Did I take something out I wasn't supposed to?

Being an Ole' Ordnanceman, My first thought is Why make it a Gun Round? Just to get the AI to use it? If so, Why hasn't anyone tried making a FFAR into a A2A Missile? Then AI would use it. Is it because the Launcher is listed as a "Rocket Pod"? Number of positions in the Pod? Then change it to a Missle Launcher that has that many Missles (Rockets) Positions or multiple Positions........

 

 

Just My Thoughts.......But I may be wrong....

Well, getting the AI to use it isn't a problem with the edits I did for the stock FFAR. The current problem we are dealing with is why the rockets are aiming low.

I used this one by the way from page 1 to input in my D-model:

 

[RocketTray]

SystemType=FIXED_GUN

GunPortAnimationID=10

GunPortOpenTime=.5

GunPortCloseTime=.9

GunTypeName=MightyMouse

InputName=FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN

MuzzlePosition=-0.639,3.033,-0.13

LightPosition= -0.689,3.083,-0.13

MaxAmmo=24

EjectShells=FALSE

MinExtentPosition=-0.394,1.473,-0.461

MaxExtentPosition=-0.394,1.473,-0.461

 

 

That's all that there is? Was there any other lines in the INI from the original missile station that should be included in this for the animation to work?

FC,

 

It sound so much like a BoreSight Issue. I think You'd have to adjust them just like Gun Convergence. They are more than likely set to the A2G Mode.....The Depress difference between A2A Gunsight and A2G Gunsight, As in their values, might make up the difference.....

Tried...haven't seen a definitive 'yep, that was the issue' yet result.

It looks like AI is compensating for any adjustment on the Rocketboresightangle. They simply just line up that lower behind any targets. It might be working if somehow that rockettray could be linked to the comput lead gunsight AI is normally using in gun attacks. Dont know if that would be possible or not??
