Title: Weapon implementation and Xponder
Post by Alexis on Jun 27^th, 2012 at 5:53pm

I would like to ask whether CS plans on adding a gauge polygon and the relevant "crosshair" on the WSO's panel, allowing us to aim those bombs the B-52 drops. I think that wouldn't be too much to ask.

Also, is it possible that CS fixes the Xponder on the B-52? I can't get it to work, and it's a fundamental piece of even the default aircraft. Unless I'm missing something.

BTW, it was about time someone gave the B-52 some of the attention it's worth.

I think you are right about targeting system. (Personaly Im using distance calculations)
For this Xponder, did you instaled B-52 Updates?

I don't think the Transponder works in v1.1 either. :( It would be very nice if they did make it work.

Fixing the Xponder should be less than an hour's work if they know which part of the code has the problem. They'll have to tweak the sim function in the VC model's XML code and re-compile.
