Hi Rob. No, I haven't coded the gunsight yet.
Hi Rob. No, I haven't coded the gunsight yet.
Can the default gun sight be used with AIM's and the like?
Rob, do your questions mean that you are working on Tacpacking your own planes too? I do hope so...
Is it a case of adding them to the ini file and aircraft cfg using the list of weapons in the SDK?
The weapons are all listed in the tacpack.ini, in the [MapStoresIDs] section, then you use the [Store_Station.x] sections to define which weapons are usable on which store stations.
Each weapon has it's own ID. You'll have to write some code to tell TacPack which ID is loaded on which station, and which station is selected. Then when you pull the trigger, send the firing order to TacPack to fire that particular store. It's fairly straightforward once you get your head around it. I can help you out with some specific code if you like, but I'm still learning myself!
Hello Dave,
Thank you very much I really would appreciate any help you could give me.
I just want to start off with a couple of 500lbs bombs and a couple of sparrows.
I realize that we are all on a learning curve but some of us are better equipped to take it all in!

Yeah, it was a photo of Sura rockets, so you've answered the question Dave!

Interesting, you're pic shows the second row mounted on the pylon. I've also got pics of them fitted without the pylon, directly to the wing the same as the other rows. Which is correct? Hmm.
Anyhow, here's them in action.
Oooooooooh boy! That is AMAZING Dave!
I suspect the photo I posted shows a non-standard fit.
Rob: How much arm-twisting would it take for you to rework your Sea Venom and add 20mm Hispano Mk.V cannon, 60lb RP-3 rockets and a P3D and/or TacPack functional radar??!!

Rob, you have two arms, so I would like to twist the other one. It would be great if your Meteors would be Tacpacked. At Fly Away Simulations there is a V-1 flying bomb for FS2004 that can easily be converted to FSX. If one takes a V-1 as a target with TacPac it will not take evasive action and will not shoot back - more realistic with a V-1 than with many other planes. V-1 hunting in a Meteor is something I think would be interesting for some of us.
Found a couple of interesting new ones on flightsim.com, thought I'd mention them here:
ah-1w_super_cobratacpack.zip
ah-64apachextacpack.zip
Both packages by "UncleSalty".
I don't have TacPack yet, so I cannot speak for the content, but according to the description these two helicopters won't even work without it.

Penz, I have yet to try them out, but this seems like a great find to me! Thanks for spotting!
I almost fell out of my chair seeing the AH-1W then I also came across this one for the Iris F-4 Phantom + TacPack

Re: Uncle Salty TacPack enabled aircraft
I downloaded and installed the F4U Corsair and AH-1W Cobra.
The Corsair appears to be the freeware -7 model from Guy Hulin, while the Cobra is the old Alphasim freeware.
FM is stock. Weapons that are modeled are guns, AIM-9s for the Corsair and guns, rockets and AIM-9s for the Cobra. Both have chaff and flares. I could not find a way to activate a gun sight, so I sprayed and prayed a lot. Stock Gatling gun sound for all guns and no swoosh for the rockets or missiles.
Really, if you want something to goof around with, here you go. Uncle Salty figured out the coding process and gave his time for free. Your call on using it in game.

I pass gas!
Dave, I already had the Alphasim Hunter but this thread made me want to have a look at yours. What a pleasant surprise! Beautiful inside and out, and she flies very nice although I made only two short flights as yet. Looking forward to the TacPac version! Are the 'proper' cannon available in TacPac?
