Title: Re: Weapon for AC-130

Woe is me.

No matter what I try, I can't get the guns to fire at 90o to the left. I can get it as far as about 50o but no further.
I have been able to get it shooting up 90o and to the rear (180o) changing the -0.039 entry. But not 90o left or right using the other two entries that deal with the angle of the firing.

I have no idea why. So once again I need some information from Alex.

0,-0.039,0 - angles <--- modify these numbers, I have tried the following
-0.5,-0.039,0 and 0.5,-0.039,0
0,-0.039,-0.5 and 0,-0.039,0.5
-90,-0.039,0 and 90,-0.039,0
0,-0.039,-90 and 0,-0.039,90
without getting the result I need. Where am I going wrong?

I'm not sure if I'm following this correctly, but these lines:
<OptimumAOA>3.0</OptimumAOA>   <-- Optimum Angle Of Attack? I assume.
<!-- aircraft cruise angle of attack. Degrees -->
make me think that the 0,-0.039,0 is a 3.9o UPWARD angle for the weapons to fire at. If I'm correct, then 1.0 is the largest number you can use. That makes 0.5 or -0.5 either 90o or 180o. Seeing as the numbers can be positive or negative, I think that 0.5 should be equal to 90o.

It seems like once the number gets above 0.5 the angle on the guns (left or right) go no further. I'm at a loss until I get put back on track. :(
