Creating ACE compatible config for aircraft.

[John Spartan 89]

Hi everyone,

right now I am working on port of Franzes F/A18 to ARMA 2. And since a lot of people been asking for alternative ACE config I need some advice since I am not really familiar with creating configs for this popular mod. Also I looked up sixbrowser configs and some other threads but i did not find all the answers i was looking for.

1. How can I assign ACE_afterburner key (whatever user maps it for him) to my user action in config. Like in vannila arma I used "vehicle turbo" as entry in my config and it works Ok. Where ACE additional settings are not well documented (could not find any)

2. Is there any good guide on weapons classes in ACE since I cant get LGB's and Mavericks (custom weapon) to lock. How Ace is handling all that.

3. has any one tried to edit points/position for refuelling probe in ACE to math his addons model?

Any help on how to make ACE compatible aircraft would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

THESE ARE THE BITS I MANAGED TO GET WORKING

class JS_FA18E : Su34

{

//ACE MOD COMPATABILITY SETTINGS

//RADAR

ace_sys_air_rwr_type = ACE_ANALR69;

ace_sys_air_rwr_threat_img = "\x\ace\addons\sys_air_rwr\data\rsc\threat_18.paa";

ace_sys_air_rwr_threat_img_spo = 0;

ace_sys_air_rwr_detectable = 1;

ace_sys_air_rwr_hasrwr = 1;

ace_sys_air_rwr_range = 5500;

//WEAPON LOCK ANGLE

ace_sys_missileguidance_limits[] = {-120, 15, -180, 180};

ace_sys_missileguidance_tracklimits[] = {-120, 15, -180, 180};

//AFTERBURNER WITH ACE DISABLED USING BUILT IN ONE WITH ACE MAPPED BURNER KEY

ACE_hasAfterburner = 0;

//EJECTION SEAT AND ACTION

ACE_SYS_EJECT_EJECT = 1;

ACE_SYS_EJECT_MULTICREW = 0;

ace_ejection_seat = "ACE_MB_Mk12";

ACE_SYS_EJECT_JUMP = 0;

//CREW CHANGED TO DEFAULT TO MATCH ACE

crew = "USMC_Soldier_Pilot";

Any ideas? There must be someone who has converted addons for ACE.

You're in the wrong section here. I suggest you contact a mod to mve it to the config section, you'll probably get more help there! Sorry I can't help you myself. I suck bad at config work.
