I finally got this to work,  couldnt get the Mk82 bomb launcher to work though. Anyone else done this or similar?
                                                              Barney.

Well done, now that's what I was talking about in another thread.
Just a starting point will do and I'll work the rest, keeps me out of the rice paddies.

Thanks for the thumbs up guys. I havnt added it to the CS mods yet as it still needs lots of tweeking.  Its actually so simple i surprised myself when it worked. first i made the m60 shoot straight down, changed the default fire mode to single and positioned it roughly in the bomb bay of the CS B52.

<Station name="Center" params="0,2,-1.5,0,-4.712389,0,51" />

Next i changed these lines in the <shell> section for the m60 bullets:

               <Weight>500</Weight>
               <!-- shell weight -->
               <TargetWeight>5000</TargetWeight>
               <!-- target wight correction factor -->
               <Lifetime>99</Lifetime>
               <!-- shell physical liftime -->
               <CtrLifetime>99</CtrLifetime>
               <!-- shell simobject liftime -->
               <Efficiency>1.0</Efficiency>
               <!-- shell damage efficiency             -->
               <RadiusRatio>2.0</RadiusRatio>
               <!-- See SDK -->
               <DragCoeff>0.5</DragCoeff>
               <!-- shell drag coefficient -->
               <OpArea>0.456</OpArea>
               <!-- shell net area -->

And finally i renamed some third party bomb models to the same as the M60 bullets, it will even work with default flour bombs. For some reason unknown to me i couldnt get the mk82 launcher to work but im sure one of you can.  I destroyed several parked ai aircraft during testing so it works. Feel free to improve this and submit it to CS mods, i hope someone will.    
                                 Regards Barney.

Thanks Alex,
                   i hadnt noticed the GBU in the pack. Guided bomb was going to be my next project and your suggestion about the air to surface missile is exactly what i was going to try first.  As for uploading the mod, do i include the complete xml or just the lines i have changed? (im not real sure about the copywrite info).
                                                    Regards Barney.

Thanks Barney, your technique works very well and my FA/18 is dropping bombs now thanks to you. I hope CS will work on improving  the CSWeapon version to add the guided bomb feature. Thanks again for sharing.

Glad to hear people are improving this mod, got the GBU-10`s working this afternoon. Man these things are deadly, still working out the optimum airspeed and alt to release at. Bruce, i did change that line but forgot to post it, hope it didnt cause too much frustration for  evryone.

I think you are spot on about that James.

My only thought is that the SDK needs to be a bit more informative. Or maybe even a little more information in the CSWeapon.xml (I think I'm showing that I am not that well versed in xml coding here). I can figure quite a bit of it out, but some of it leaves me at a loss. Of course the other side to that, is if someone can point out where I can get more information on xml coding, without having to buy a book unless I really have to.

Yes, please share! Some of us are all thumbs when it comes to xml, hehe.
