kurdistan1 Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Hi everybody! 1-side guns and also tail guns in bombers and helicopters and etc...can fire air targets.is there anyway to change this and give them fire to ground targets too?(somthing like "apocalypse now" movie's Heli ride scene) 2-ground targets usually are tanks artillary and anti-air guns and anti air missiles .how can i change targets too add building so.specially in strike and attack missions?

+EricJ Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 For the second part of your question it is possible to strike buildings and bridges and the like. You just have to have it randomly selected. However... If my mind serves me correctly you can select that through the MIssion Editor. You can select whatever target (building, jeep, etc.) in that target area, and the mission will allow you to hit that target with bombs, or whatever. 1 Quote
kurdistan1 Posted February 1, 2022 Author Posted February 1, 2022 ok but i mean they arenot selected as a target and we cant change selected building normaly for atack them by AG missiles... Quote
+Gepard Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 To question 1, the answer is no. Gunners of planes and helicopters never fire on ground targets with guns. Unfortunatly. 1 Quote

No you can't do that unfortunately, the game is setup to only have one main target that you hit. There's no way to select a building randomly. And not everything can be solved here. To make those modifications would be altering the source code of the game, and that's not really liked here. 1 Quote

The curious thing is that TK doesn't care or mind (written permission to do wathever we want with the game, except sharing assets) If we change the source code, problem is we don't have that code, and the only person that once got some modded exes to work is no longer around. 1 Quote

I wasn't aware that TK didn't mind as long as we asked permission. And I remember that guy, but I really don't think he did anything but who knows... 1 Quote

We dont even have to ask permission, what we CAN do is to create and distribute a patch that modifies the original and legitimate exe, what we CANNOT do is to share any exe or game asset. 1 Quote
Icarus999 Posted February 2, 2022 Posted February 2, 2022 yap had a workaround ( if i remember correctly ) by placing a transparent targetable aircraft object as a ground object on top of a real visible ground target. It worked like the ASAT mod as i remember. its been a long time but the gunners would open fire whenever they passed by the object. However that would mean that every friendly fighter aircraft would see it as an air target as well. 1 Quote

Icarus999 Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 Yankee air pirate. You would have to buy their WOV Vietnam upgrade/mission sets to get it (Payware). Quote

Once you have the object called "Target" from yap you can use it with the SF2 mission editor to place multiple copies of it in an area on any terrain you choose and then fly your Apocalypse now scenario. 1 Quote

+Stratos Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 I don't think the YAP trick works anymore, at least I cannot replicate in any of the YAP missions with such ground aircraft target. A real bummer, I wanted to see it working for Yakarov helos! 1 Quote

I found it.Target and TargetL.you can placed them randomly on for example an airports or a base with enemy nation market.then side guns of Helos shoot them .but if there are not real aircrafts or other targets on the place then it will be seem so stupidly..... 1 Quote

Question is, how you place it in a mission? Is possible to use the 'In game' Mission Editor? Quote
