DP Gunstations Question

[Typhoon Willy]

Hi all,

I was planning to prepare a .dp for an FS9 plane I converted for use in CFS2 (AlphaSim Jaguar) and borrowed a .dp from an older Alpha Jag. This already had 2 guns but I want to be able to add ordnance and understand for them to work properly, additional gunstations need to be added.

I was looking at the default .dp file but don't understand what all the values represent and was wondering if someone out there could explain these to me?

[GUNSTATIONS]
gunstation.0=0,24,1,0.05,811,2,0.02,500,0,40,1d1*8 ,-2.019,-0.455,0,-0.128056,0,0.38560350701058,0,0,0,0,0.344
gunstation.1=0,31,1,0.05,811,2,0.02,500,0,40,1d1*8 ,2.019,-0.455,0,-0.128056,0,-0.38560350701058,0,0,0,0,0.344
gunstation.2=2,-2,4,0.00,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
gunstation.3=3,21,8,0.00,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 ,0,0,0,0,0
gunstation.4=5,62,32,0.00,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0
[guns.0]
gun.0=350,-0.907,0.1,0.943,0,0,1,350
gun.1=350,-1.932,0.219,0.828,0,0,1,350
[guns.1]
gun.0=350,0.907,0.1,0.943,0,0,1,350
gun.1=350,1.932,0.219,0.828,0,0,1,350
[guns.2]
gun.0=10,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
[guns.3]
gun.0=1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
[guns.4]
gun.0=1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

The following are the gunstation entries for the Jag dp I am using:

[GUNSTATIONS]
; Port Cannon
gunstation.0=1,-3,2,0.05,1200,5,0.05,25,4,100,1d1*300,-0.5,-0.95,3.1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,50
; Starboard Cannon

; Bomb
gunstation.2=2,21,4,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1d1*300,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,50
;
gunstation.3=3,-99,8,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1d1*8,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,800
[guns.0]
gun.0=500,0,0,0,0,0,1,500
[guns.1]

[guns.2]
gun.0=8,0,0,0,0,0,0,8
[guns.3]
gun.0=4,0,0,0,0,0,0,4

Thanks Dirtman,

That's exactly what I've been looking for! Awesome job this guy does of explaining this stuff, it's almost like...like...the master teaching the apprentice!

I'm off to learn the ways of the .dp!
