For version 2.4b85, the Phalanx seems to fire through everything in order to hit an enemy it is tracking. I mounted it on Deansbeano's steerable LHD using attachTo, and it proceeds to shoot the hell out of the boat, parked planes, friendly soldiers, etc. I think this can be limited if there were a way to restrict the arc that the guns can fire in. So the front turret could cover 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock, the left turret could cover 11 to 6, and the right could cover 1 to 6. Then they would only fire away from the ship rather than across it.
Also, the AH-64 when targeting a building from a low altitude, seems to target the ground behind the building as if the building weren't blocking the laser target. So instead of a hellfire shooting through a side window, it bypasses the building and lands beyond it in the hills.
Please fix: M6 Linebacker in ACEX can hardly turn on FCS using together with MMA;and I also have a question:gunner in attack chopper really can manual deploy flares in real world?
Anyway ,MMA is a perfect Mod!
But how do I change the keys to buttons on my joystick, it seem to ignore when I press buttons on joystick? And why can't I change the 'select next target' key?
could there be a way that FLIR could work better?? I mean FLIR should highlight hot bodies and be blinded by light, or maybe a way to darken/brighten the FLIR.
That means that the server is using MMA (loaded and initialized) in that mission and you have not loaded and initialized the addon. A mission running MMA server side requires that all connected clients use MMA. Now if that particular mission should not use it, no idea, ask the server admin.
It's borderline Bullshit, when it's installed on a dedicated server, and it asks you every 15 secs, "Is Mando Missile Missing Here?". Why the hell do I need to hear and read that hint when I'm trying to play a black ops mission when all I really need to concentrate on where my silenced MP5 is trained. If you ask me it's ridiculous to advertise yourself like that. Why don't you just make it say "Is this Mission even worth playing if it doesn't have Mando?".
Description:
Fire and configure missiles, create missile launchers for AI or players using any existing vehicle, plane, ship, chopper or thing, add automatic or manual chaff and flares dispensers to your vehicles, replace all vanilla ArmA missiles by mando ones, etc. Mando Gun ArmA is now also integrated inside Mando Missile pack.
This does now work with Arma 2 and Arma 2 Combined Operations.
Installation:
Important note: MMA_XEH_AutoLaunch.pbo has been moved to @mma_xeh folder, dont forget to remove the MMA_XEH_AutoLaunch.pbo that might be present in your current @mma folder. If you want to use the autolauch, execute ArmA2 with mod=@mma;@mma_xeh modifiers.
As we always recommend use modfolders to seperate the custom content from the official game content to prevent problems. For different ways to set up your modfolders and use them please visit our FAQ.
Included files:
mando_missiles.pbo
mando_phalanx.pbo
mu90.pbo
MMA_XEH_AutoLaunch.pbo
Usage:
Read the online MMA readme or the included readme file for more info how to use this.

Credits & Thanks:
Defunkt, aside from pretty good ideas, he provided sounds, the outstanding images of the RWRs for east and west planes and fine-tuned all the PAAs present in the pack, he also modified Raptor6 MFD to include "NTSC" effect as well as some nice pp effects for older type cameras. Customized MMA HUDs including HMD and AH64 monocle, as well as Javelin, Metis, Stinger, Strela and Igla portable missiles.
Raptor6, do you like the fantastic background of the TV systems? it is from him.
Deanosbeano and scars who provided some mando turret models usable for the Phalanx gun.
Cyborg11 for the ACE2 setups

do you work for the goverment or something
when will real FLIR be integrated instead of the black and white?
Please fix: M6 Linebacker in ACEX can hardly turn on FCS using together with MMA;and I also have a question:gunner in attack chopper really can manual deploy flares in real world?
Anyway ,MMA is a perfect Mod!
Awesome.
But how do I change the keys to buttons on my joystick, it seem to ignore when I press buttons on joystick? And why can't I change the 'select next target' key?
awesome mr mando
could there be a way that FLIR could work better?? I mean FLIR should highlight hot bodies and be blinded by light, or maybe a way to darken/brighten the FLIR.
This just keeps getting better :yes
Mandoble A living God Kudos For your work :yes
