NEW in v1.1 - dual tracer rounds (via new gunpod)

MLODs are NOW AVAILBLE - look in same location for .RAR files...

==============

CHANGELOG:

==============

v1.1: 7/21/2013

- NEW: Gun pod animations (dual tracers, shell ejections)

- IMPROVED: Landing gear animations model real world action.

- FIX: Small improvements to flight model.

- FIX: Pilot view window panes.

- FIX: Missing dash night lights.

v1.0: 7/18/2013 - Initial Release

O2-A Skymaster aircraft. The O2-A is based on the Cessna 337.

Coming soon to an Unsung Vietnam mod near you! :cool:

Different models included:

- Standard model includes White Phosphorus rockets and 7.62mm gun pods.

- Spotter aircraft (Unarmed).

- Cessna 337 Civilian with numerous skin colors.

- Forward air controller (FAC) aircraft with smoke marker rockets.

NOTE: The FAC model requires my POOK_SMOKE CAS Marker Smoke addon! See here for more info:

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?141099-CAS-Smoke-Marker-Rockets

If you choose not to use the FAC model, simply do not load the POOK_SKYMASTER_SMOKE.PBO!

Edit to add some answers to questions I'm getting:

=================================

YES I'll be releasing MLOD's soon... just want to wait in case some issues are found!

The ejected shells animations are based on the Unsung mod w/ permission! :cool:

The dual-gun tracers are adapted from I44 mod - credit to them! :cool:

Yes the rocket salvo is a single-rocket fire only. I did this to make the rockets last longer... my reasoning is that 14 single shots is better than 7 double-shots for this particular situation.

The cockpit glass in the pilot view could be improved. I'll look into this.

=================================

Requires CO/OA 1.56 or better! Tested on OA+ACR v1.62.

Dependencies: FAC version requires the POOK_SMOKE addon. The other models are standalone.

O2-A Skymaster military model of the Cessna 337 Skymaster airplane. Fully animated gear, control surfaces, and cockpit. Dual tracer lines!

Thanks for the comments! Just to answer some questions I'm getting:

- YES I'll be releasing MLOD's soon... just want to wait in case some issues are found!

- The ejected shells animations are based on the Unsung mod w/ permission! :cool:

- The dual-gun tracers are adapted from I44 mod - credit to them! :cool:

- Yes the rocket salvo is a single-rocket fire only. I did this to make the rockets last longer... my reasoning is that 14 single shots is better than 7 double-shots for this particular situation.

- The cockpit glass in the pilot view could be improved. I'll look into this.

- The real life model has landing gear doors that close after the gear is fully deployed. I cannot get the animation working correctly to fully mimic this behavior. I will investigate this further.

Well managed to find a problem, it seems that theres only one turret firing the 7.62 but the other one shows a sign of smoke coming out but the bullets come out from left one only AND there are traces going behind as well, couldnt capture much with screenshots but tried my best

Basically what I mean is, only one turret is firing with double bullets with traces going behind.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Arma2 scripting! That's as good as it gets... the dual-tracer script doesn't really like the M134 that well.

I may just take it out...

Well if you will I would say just place on in the middle and that would of be good enough!

@hcpookie

You need the tracers parameter to be an ODD number and tracers will come out both locations

Place the new memory points well in front of the model and the tracers wont look like they are coming from behind
