chops 111 Posted August 16, 2018 Hi all, With the kind permission of the original auther @aussnipe73 I am attempting to upgrade and update his formidable Iowa class battleship. The point is to have all nine guns firing independently, via Drongo's artillery, which is still being worked on. The triple-gun turrets are currently static weapons separate from the actual battleship model itself (plan it to attachTo them to the ship. Long story). So the problem is I'm trying to configure each physical turret to have three gunners, one for each gun, but I can't figure out the required config and model.cfg entries to get this to work. I've tried entering a second manned turret/gun (guided by the turrets wiki), but as you can see below, some of the shells fire dead ahead as the gunBeg points are not rotating or elevating with the "main" turret. The red lines are from the bullet tracking function. I also seem to have four gunner slots in the damn thing, instead of just the two that I'm aiming for so far. Soooo.... Here's the relevant config section: Spoiler class USS_Iowa_Turret_B: StaticCannon { model = "\338\Ships\USS_Iowa_Turret_B"; displayName = "Cannon 16 Inch B Turret"; hideUnitInfo = 1; scope = 2; side = 1;

I've just followed the same conventions for a second "turret" within this physical one: Ideally I'd love to have each gun elevating independently, just like the real thing, but if all three guns moved together, but each with independent gunners able to fire, that'd do just fine. Many thanks in advance. I reckon the Iowa would be great to have back in game delivering all nine 16-inch guns of naval shore bombardment goodness! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir BadNade 25 Posted January 21, 2019 It's nice to see this being reworked. Loved the Arleigh Burke when it was being worked on and from the teasers back then I will figure that this should be pretty good in the long run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oldcrow0999 13 Posted February 4, 2019 I really like your passion and dedication to taking over in order to reconfigure this mod. My apologies if I come off rude (that’s not my intention) are you still working on the mod? What are your plans for the ultimately for the mod and are you looking for someone to partner up with to help with the completion of the mod? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Before I forget I do live in Los Angeles and we do have the Iowa here so if do any research or questions answered please don’t be afraid to pm me or send me a message!
