This mod is much alike my Ta-183 mod for AAA:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,4354.msg61147.html#msg61147but supposed to replace default Ta-183 (no FM changes) and have some enhancements, additions, and fixes.
Differencies vs. default Ta-183:
Fixed chassis cover opening angle, fixed flaps deflection angle.
Fixed air scheme: here it is a flying wing with elerons acting as elevons (elerons & elevators simultaneously),
small controls surfaces on tailplane acting as trimmers, DM and mechanics changed accordingly, elevons and trimmers are independent.
Askania-like gyro-gunsight (credits to MrJolly & Lt.Wolf for the idea of gyro-gunsight mod for Ta-183).
Differencies vs. Ta-183 mod for AAA:Missiles sequence launch fix - now missiles launches from outer pylons first, from inner pylons afterwards;
Gyro-gunsight adjusts range to the target automatically, sight range controls used to switch IFF requester modes.
IFF requester, depending on the set mode, switching gunsight visual modes to prevent frendly fire.
IFF requester modes:
IFF NO check - no IFF check performed (IFF requester off);
IFF check FRIEND - IFF requester switches off gunsight gyro mode, if friendly plane comes in sight (default mode);
IFF check FOE - IFF requester switches on gunsight gyro mode, only if enemy plane comes in sight, else U just see fixed reticle.
Padlock no longer linked to sight rangefinder, line-of-sight technology used.
Small DM fix (CoG shift).
Standart weapon loadout list extended with various 2x guns and 4x guns combinations with homing X-4 AAM's & X-7 AGM's.

2x X-4 homing + 2x X-7 homing (outer X-4's BOMB key, inner X-7's rocket key)
2x X-7 homing
2x X-7 homing + 2x Abwurftanks
4x X-7 homing - 2x MK 108
4x Luftmarkierungskorpers (paraflares)
2x AB 250
2x AB 500 - 2x MK 108
4x SC 50
4x SC 70
2x SC 250
2x Typ D Abwurftanks
2x MG 151/20 + 2x MK 108/30
4x MG 151/20
4x MG 213/20 (this loadout will appear, only if U have installed some mod with MK 213 cannon, for example, Me-410 mod by Hunin, Mr.Jolly, VPMedia, Zeppo. Slow, Zorin)
AI fix:
now AI can use not only X7 against ground TGTs in stand-off mode, but also X4 & X7 (guided & homing) against bombers w/o order.
AI also can use X4 & X7 (guided & homing) against fighters, but, due to notorious Ta bug, only if opportunity exists or direct order issued.
Credit to Storebror for the idea how to make AI launch missiles within AC class.
UPDATE --------------------------------------------------------------------
Loadouts with droptanks (awurftanks in German) added (due to absence of special hooks it looks odd in loadout screen, as it has been just dropped)
AI handling of guided & homing missiles improved and become more realistic, especially in air-to-ground role.
Now AI can attack exactly that ground or naval target it "want", as it have direct control over missiles;
commits ground attacks with X-4 AAM in guided mode; in some cases it will turn guided missile back to another run, if it missed target.
General AI control over X-series missiles in air-to-ground mode also improved and depending on AI skill.
For homing AGMs range is 4000-5000 m.
DM changes: airframe overspeed desintegration now starts with tail assembly, as most prone to flutter.
UPDATE --------------------------------------------------------------------
Added bombing loadouts (see loadouts list above).
Made some tuning for instrument panel and gunsight:
- gun ammo gauges recalibrated;
- primary trigger animated;
- each pair of guns now has saparate trigger, lower pair is switchable;
- X-4 lamps now working and reflecting ordnance presence on external hardpoints;
- X-4 knüppel animated, lamp near knüppel lights when X-4 is on-line in the air;
- gunsight recalibrated to Allies wingspans range;
- target range gauge now working;
- rotating wingspan knob animated and has B-29 wingspan option,
for proper operation add this line in
hud_log.properties file:
AskaniaWing10 Wingspan Selected: B29
