FlyNate Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 I was wondering....... Would it maybe be possible for someone to copy the default C-130, and use a script to make it function as an AC-130??? It wouldn't look any different, it would basically be the default C-130 with killing capability, but it would create a simulated effect of having an AC-130... I have had the C-130 orbit in a circle over target areas just for simulation at night, but it would be great if it had a script to shoot units with a GAU-8, which would simulate the 25mm, out of the side. I know that's not the correct weapon but I was thinking maybe, if it can be done at all, using things the game already has would make it easier for whoever writes the script... If anyone has any input on whether or not this might work, please let me know. Also, if it is possible, who knows how to do it? I wouldn't know where to begin, lol. Just thought I had, if someone who knows how wants to try it.....:joystick: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Grim_Smiles Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 It sounds like a cool idea, though I don't have the experience to say whether it'll work or not. If it does work, would be nice if someone could make an AC-130 model to replace C-130 model along with it (until we get the official one someday). Would love to see the flying doom machine circling a target in the game.

FlyNate Posted October 12, 2013 Author Posted October 12, 2013 I think quite a few people would like to have it, but I dont have the first clue on what to do lol. I was kind of hoping someone would see that and it would spark an idea and they would know how to do it. It would be a nice touch... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
AlessiRocks Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I have started an AC-130 and C-130 mod. I have only done some of the modeling and havent even touched the coding. If I see that many more people want it I will try and work faster. Maybe I dont even release it.
Milli Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I'd love to see the AC-130 blasting away at night time. Please make it AlessiRocks, if at all possible. Regards, Milli
FlyNate Posted October 13, 2013 Author Posted October 13, 2013 PLEASE release it! lol. That would be great! Thanks for working on that brother, it is much needed in DCS [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Sabre-TLA Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 You could simulate it with the current ME by having your C130 orbit the target and then have random explosions going off in the target area. The Explosion or Explode Unit actions could be used to good effect. No tracer fire but from a distance the effect might look similar. MapleFlagMissions - Read Our Blog for Updates
O_Smiladon Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Yes Please AC-130 :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
FlyNate Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 This is true, but I want the capability of having the AC-130 orbiting high overhead, out of AAA range. It would be great to call and designate AAA targets from the A-10C before I run in on a CSAR mission... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Pepec9124 Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Just attach few tank turrets to it. Easy :D Or better, whole tanks.
FlyNate Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 LMAO, I can't help but wonder how awesome that would look [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
NRG-Vampire Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Just attach few tank turrets to it. Easy :D Or better, whole tanks. yeah :D i know some guys who can do ^ this easily :megalol:
