Detatchable Aircraft sections - need some help

Postby Mike Thurman » Thu Nov 27, 2003 3:53 pm

Ok, guys, im using gmax, gmax 1.2 to be specific, and i was wondering how i could make parts "detatch", for instance i press something and it drops a bomb, and perminantly leaves the plane. Or the same with missles or guns, could someone help me out here please, this is something i really want to know. :(

 Thanks

In a word......... NO!!

I can't imagine why you'd want to drop bombs, shoot missles or fire guns in FS2004??

Like Cal says - not in FS2004.  For CFS2, CFS3, I believe that the ordnance is defined in the dp files or similar.  Check the CFS forums.

it might be possible to make droptanks!

i was looking aroud the key assignments menu a while ago, and i found commands for releasing droptanks

i don't know how they can be made (if they can be made at all) and i've never seen a plane that had that function...

but it's there in fs ::)

But it doesn't mean it's functional in FS.  There are a number of assignments, etc. that appear in both FS and CFS and not necessarily one works with the other.  THe Makemdl SDK for FS2002 calls out a number of tags that are non-functional in FS ..
