@Black PantherYeah you get varying degrees of aviator literacy online I'm sure,especially in public lobbies. I go way back with flight sims, just nothing this deep. I am the kind of guy who will study the systems and learn the plane I choose. Looking forward to that aspect of it. Fluent with the controls just need to learn a plane. Probably start with Spit then F14 or FA18. Can't wait.

From the looks of the visual model and the cockpit, it appears those are AC130J aircraft as opposed to U models. Unique J characteristics are, black rubber boot on the tail, 6 blade props, glass cockpit, HUD, and bitching Betty, lol. The visual models also look like stretched versions too. Also... I can look at the radio configuration on top of the aircraft and see that it's pretty accurate to real life. Former Lockheed C130 Simulator Systems Engineer.
@Saber7212 жыл бұрын
As far as the weapons load, its definitely a U-model. Except the calibers listed are wrong. A U-model was equipped with a [25] mm Vulcan, a [40] mm Bofars, and a 105 mm Howitzer. The J-model is equipped with a 30 mm Autocannon, installed where the 25 mm vulcan would be on a U-model. And it lacks the 40 mm Bofars, although it retains the 105. The J-model also adds some more fun with small diameter bombs and missiles. So basically this is a C-130J (Long) with a AC-130U's weapons.

Something that helps me with setting a collision course in video games is using proportional navigation. Basically what you do is set you velocity vector in front of the target's direction of travel and then keep the target on the same angle off of the velocity vector. As long as you are closing distance and the target is not moving in any other direction relative to you then you are on a collision course. It's the same technique that early sidewinders use.
