Anybody know how to put a turret on a plane.
Thinking of taking an old hercules and putting an M134, a 30mm cannon, and a 105mm howitzer on its side to make it a Spectre.
Any way to do this?
Thanx for the replies as always.

hi
laggy Luke, More then likely someone has tried to do it. I would like to see it done, its such a unique piece of air craft. But the 105mm howitzer is on the inside of the plane. I think that's way no one has made one yet.
Cheers schuler

There's been some discussion regarding this over at the BIS forums, and I believe RKSL "sort of" managed to solve the problem in a manner of speaking, I believe through scripting.
Here's the discussion about Fixed wing turrets (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?s=6c7bafd07e2f714e68c6540486df17b9;act=ST;f=69;t=60295;st=0) and here's the scripted solution as presented by RKSL : (page 55 of the old RKSL thread, about the 4th post of the page) NEWS UPDATE: Fixed Wing Turret and Laser Designation System (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?s=4927e89070bdd3635021fb7a6b021817;act=ST;f=69;t=56312;st=810).
I suggest you read through that thread a little, and then maybe PM the people in question and see if they can help you out.
Basically though, I believe that fixed-wing turrets (aka Cobra) are impossible without workarounds, scripting, and other shiznits. But hey - whenever was that a problem for us OFP/ArmA addon makers :D
Good luck!
Wolfrug out.

Wolfrung,
Already checked out RKSL,
looked all around for info/DL, and nothin' doin'.
How the heck they would script it, I have no idea,
and I seriously doubt they'd share,
so if you have any idea how, I'd gladly like to know.
Thanx for the replies, as always.

EDIT: Schuler, why did you call me laggy?
Thanx Schuler.

EMSI did a UAV type "camera" scripting mod, search on the BIS forums or bigger ArmA news sites for it.
You may be able to attach a gun to it and simulate gunfire.

Gnat,
I have EMSI's UAV.
Wouldn't know how to do that. :dunno:
Noob question alert! Wouldn't I want actual gunfire, not simulated gunfire?
Thanx for the replies, as always.

Sorry, beyond me for detail, I think thats cutting edge code, hence why RKSL team are still battling with it.
