Description:
If anyone is interested in testing another AC130 mod, this is the 80% complete version that ive released to my clan for testing. updates will be coming about every week, or when people find enough errors to make an update make sense.


Installation:
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.

Usage:
OPERATON MANUAL:
P-FCO = primary fire control officer (main gunner, 105mm,40mm,25mm)
S-FCO = secondary fire control officer (secondary gunner, 25mm)

autopilot = -must be 200m above terrain level to start
- 1000m orbit height/1000m orbit radius
-open your map and single click over the center of your target area
-the plane will wait until it is aligned properly with the destination zone and then will level out and move

updated operators manual:
left arrow = decrease radius by 25m (500m min.)
right arrow = increase radius by 25m (5000m max.)
up arrow = increase height by 50
down arrow = decrease height by 50

adjust ambient gunner chatter in RADIO volume settings, not sound volume.


Media:

Known issues:
- may not work perfectly in multiplayer, havent done a ton of testing on it yet
- autopilot script varables (height,radius) will effect all aircraft in the air
- may encounter problems if more than one ac130 is using autopilot at once
- misc. texture errors
