Title: A-10a Weapons Movement
Post by Dpavan96 on Jul 22nd, 2012 at 8:30pm
Hello!
I have a bit of an 'unusual' request, but I'm wondering if you could help me out at all. I'm not too computer savvy, so sorry if I ask "nu duh" questions. I'm using the IRIS A-10a and I'm wondering how to tweak the weapons pack to fit the Warthog as if it was included in the IRIS download.

1. I love the weapon pack and the HUD, but for the A-10, I'd like to keep the HUD that IRIS gives you, and still have it be accurate. When you switch the A-10's HUD mode to WD-1, a gunsight appears. I would like to get the weapons configured so the gun (and other targeting systems) points to the gunsight, and not straight ahead.

2. I'm doing my best to find out the specs of the GAU-8 cannon, and change the provided M61 information to nearly match that of the GAU. I've found the information, but how would I go about plugging that in?

GAU-8 Avenger
Weight: 619.5 lb
Barrels: 7 (vs 6 on the M61, but probally doesn't matter for sims)
RPM: 4,200
Effective Range: 4,000 feet
Max. Range: 12,000 feet

3. How would I go about changing ammo. amounts?  Ex. instead of having 1200 rds, having 1,150 rds.

4. Moving the gun's external position to make it look like it's firing out of the actual cannon and not the air-to-air refueling gate.

5. If this is even possible, which I kinda doubt it is. One of the HUD modes on the A-10 is STBY, where no HUD is presented, as if it was off. Is there any way to replace the 'no-hud' with the CS 3D HUD? I'm really stretching asking for this, but I figured the only dumb question is one not asked.

Thanks so much if you could help. Hopefully I didn't forget anything, but I'll add something if I did.  ;)
