With the additon of more modern planes, we run into a problem of having multiple-barrel guns. Specifically for MiG-21 and Su-25. The thing is - we should be using two hooks shooting alternatively - like one bullet from one barrel, second from the other. AFAIK, now it shoots from both at the same time, which is quite a shame.

So I would like to request for a way how to make them shoot alternatively.

One way would be adding blank rounds. But that will mess up the score tables...

Other way can be using one hook that is moving around.

Or simply desynchronise them, which would need quite extensive coding...

Just an idea... keeping in mind i have never created a gun, nor do i know the first thing about what is involved with that part of modding:



Why not simulate the two barrels by having TWO guns? We shall call them Gun_1 and Gun_2.

Perhaps only Gun_1 is actually a visible model, which looks like the full, two barreled weapon. Gun_2 would remain invisible.

Each gun fires from only one barrel. First Gun_1 followed by Gun_2.

Each gun would need to fire at exactly half the full rate of fire of the simulated weapon(In the case of the MiG-21: the GSh-23), and the two would need to alternate firing.

Perhaps this may be easier than developing a whole new TYPE of gun? But again i know little about the subject. Just an idea.

Hope this may be useful!

Fresco, that is ... um... the point of what I am saying. It already is done by two guns - but being fired at the same time.

Fair enough! 

See I told you I didn't know a lot about it!
