looks promising, The older AC-130 was a bit of a hassle, it'll be nice to have a proper mod.I always wished they put this in natively,IMO the map's could support it.
I have just been using the plane and it is a good mod. I hope to see some updates to this.
This is an impressive addon!
I'll always waiting to addons being finished and no errors reported to download and use them.
But here, I'll make an exception.
I'll test it this morning.
Huuum, there are a really big problem with the AI pilot...
Instead of following the Waypoint to flying over the engaging area, he flying away...
I drop it.
It is irritating, impossible to do anything in solo with this mod.
The pilot does not take absolutely account of the position of the armaments on the left side of the plane, always presents the right side towards the ground and worse, does not even follow the waypoints which are alloyed to him.
In short, I remain on my idea to not touch the mods still not finalized.
While being pilot and by positioning the plane, we cannot even pass in firing position after activating the autopilot. One time, I even see a complete black screen that don't disappear.
And impossible to place a playable character in gunner.
In short, I avoid.
Good idea, but too many problems.
You should check your scripts, when using this, the hard disk become mad like when there is an error in a script.
So, maybe some errors in the script.
And always problems with the AI pilot.
I love this addon! Best AC130 by far! It has lots of cool sounds and features
Has this been improved by now further more or will it be at all? How does it work for you if AI only is flying it!? For me it does not attack. Maybe there is a clue!? I also tried waypoint orders and commands etc. but the plane just flies around.
Huh...
It seems that this mod is completely abandoned.
Too bad, when a mod become really interesting and need just some little adjustements, it's canceled.
Waiting for a better and finalized version since a while.
Thanks anyway.
This mod doesn't seem to work any more, at least in multiplayer. Plane revs up but won't take off. I have previously played it in self-hosted multiplayer games.
1. Does not let me proceed to preview in editor as it shows the message "Bad vehicle type USMC_Soldier_Pilot".
Help please??
i place it empty and try to fly but it´s not moving. What should i do?
I love this great mod, I know it hasn't been updated in years but I still love its compatibility with multiplayer!!!! Thanks developer!!!!11!1 The plane doesn't move but I mean, you gotta be happy with what you got!111!!
Jk, thanks anyways though.
