Been looking for more civilian small aircraft for low vis stuff. A variant with a targeting pod/sensor ball and even a couple Hellfires or ATGMs would be perfect.

Has anybody looked into making any low visibility/repurposed civilian aircraft? Something like the Caesar BTT with a pod and 1 or 2 Hellfires or something?

Yax, I absolutely love what you've done here and with Land. I'm wondering if you have any plans to enhance the Caesar BTT for a low-vis flair? Like a working pod and maybe a Hellfire or smaller under each wing? I have zero mod-making experience but understand that it's quite and undertaking. Thanks for your time.

In addition to UAV and possible future autopilot use, could the altitude inputted be changed to above Mean Sea Level as opposed to Above Ground Level? These are two different values and in real life MSL is what aircraft mainly go off of (RW use AGL since they rarely fly at their maximum altitude) and this provide a smoother picture from the UAV feed as it's not constantly changing altitude in its orbit.

An autopilot is something that would greatly improve pilot's abilities to provide good Close Air Support. The UAV console does this almost perfectly, but a better example would be the autopilot parameters menu for the USAF mod's AC-130. Being able to select the point on the map, altitude above sea level (for a much more stable flight than Above Ground Level), and orbit radius. The only addition I would make to this would be to set the speed so as to conserve fuel. The benefits to this would be that the pilot wouldn't have to focus on multitasking. This would allow them to take notes on what the ground is passing to them as well as be able to more effectively use their sensors. This would also allow manned aircraft to act as "manned UAVs" in a Non-Traditional ISR role for ground forces. Sensor use in support of the ground multiplies a platform's usefulness in addition to any ordnance they may be carrying. I concur with adding the ability to LASE with from the TGP. Another plus would be the ability to enter grid coordinates into the TGP so that it's already looking at an area of interest as passed from the ground.

I'm wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to put the UAV terminal controls as an autopilot option in the scroll menu for aircraft, both jets and helicopters. Possibly combining that with the UASF's AC-130 autopilot where you can input you radius and altitude or making this the standard. This would enable pilots to use their sensors/targeting pods without having to worry about flying way beyond their target. It would also enable pilots to act as their team's eye in the sky, being able to hold an orbit and report on what they're seeing on the ground.

Hey Delta, just wondering how to slave the turret to grids or if that's coming in a later release or if I just completely missed it in the thread. Get Some.
