Guys, I know this is probably a stupid observation, since I don't know that much about the 3d modelling of these planes, etc, but the Vickers/Lewis combo works quite well for the SE5a stock plane. Is there any way to mimic its setup in the data ini of a Nieuport? Would that work? Is it the two gun groups that allow this to work?

 

The SE5a uses two gun groups:

 

[internalGun1]

SystemType=FIXED_GUN

GunTypeName=303CAL_VICKERS_MK1

InputName=FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN

GunGroup=1<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< here?

MuzzlePosition=-0.16,0.27,0.49

LightPosition=-0.16,0.36,0.50

AimAngles=0.0,5.0,0.0

MaxAmmo=400

EjectShells=TRUE

EjectPosition=0.0,-0.17,-0.49

EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-1.0

MinExtentPosition=

MaxExtentPosition=

GunFireAnimationID=7

 

[internalGun2]

SystemType=FIXED_GUN

GunTypeName=303CAL_LEWIS_MK2

InputName=FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN

GunGroup=2<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< and here?

MuzzlePosition=0.00,0.00,1.30

LightPosition=0.00,0.06,1.31

AimAngles=0.0,5.0,0.0

MaxAmmo=97

NumReloads=4

ReloadTime=6.0

EjectShells=TRUE

EjectPosition=0.01,-0.68,1.21

EjectVelocity=2.0,0.0,-0.5

MinExtentPosition=

MaxExtentPosition=

GunFireAnimationID=8

 

Be kind with your responses, remember, you're dealing with the village idiot when it comes to this stuff....

Hello, and on my first post ever, you have to add SystemName InternalGun2 to the fuselage section of the data.ini

I did that and now I have a muzzle blast and tracer convergence but no lewis gun model showing.
