Mk40 or Mk66? These are a matter of age and replacement. Mk40's are older then Mk66. The Hydra 70 family of WAFAR (Wrap-Around Fin Aerial Rocket), based on the Mk 66 universal motor, was developed from the previous 2.75 inch Mk 40 motor-based folding fin aerial rocket. The propellant grain is longer and of a different formulation than that of the MK40/MK4, however, the stabilizing rod and igniter are essentially the same design. The MK66 motors have a substantially higher thrust, 1,335 pounds-force (5,940 N) (Mod 2/3) 1,415 pounds-force (6,290 N) (Mod 4), and a longer range than the older motors. To provide additional stability the four rocket nozzles are scarfed at an angle to impart a slight spin to the rocket during flight. The Mk 40 was used during the Korean and Vietnam wars, being used to provide close air support to ground forces from about 20 different firing platforms, both fixed-wing and armed helicopters. Today, the OH-58D® Kiowa Warrior and AH-64D Apache Longbow, as well as the Marine Corp's AH-1 Cobra, carry the Hydra rocket launcher standard on its weapon pylons.

I'd be interested in knowing this too, as I've been unable to rotate Seats.

I'm excited to add the Rockets to the A-10 Pack. People will have to DL your Mod, I just want to add the entries to the A-10 Loadouts.

Glad He made it out ok too.

Thank You Sir, this will help!

This has some info on the different Launchers. Not sure if it will help. https://pediaview.com/openpedia/Folding-Fin_Aerial_Rocket

Alright!

I'd try and help but my computer keeps bombing out on me.

I would say you covered it Ravenclaw. Go with what you have. I can't wait for these to come out, Beautiful work!

It's in the MISSILEOBJECT.INI from the Original Ordinance Pack. the Original in the ObjectData001 doesn't have the Effect. http://combatace.com/files/file/8921-mgunny-331killerbees-sf2-ordnance-shop/ MISSILEOBJECT.7z

I will find it if it exists.

Great work, thanks man!

I've recovered the A-10 Pack files along with a few others, but I have no space to work, I lost 2 Terabytes in the process.

Well. I just had 2 Hard Drives crash on me. Including all my Strike Stuff. everything down the tubes.

Anyway to get a clock with digits on the HUD like an A-10 type Clock?

Rest in peace Roddy Piper.

Great work as usual Ravenclaw, thanks much!

Great Interview SidDogg! I did read a when it came out. Just thought I'd relay the thought. Sorry for the slight delay.

Can you suck the fumes from the bag afterwards and sound like Donald Duck? That would be really cooool!
