Title: AC-47 3d upgrade
Post by: SAS~GJE52 on January 27, 2013, 07:04:25 AM: This came out some time ago but was burried in an existing thread. A lot of guys have joined recently and are keen to build scenarios for the the Vietnam War so in case you might have missed it ;

Checkyersix has kindly allowed me to post a 3d update to his excellent AC-47 mod,

This update is based on the early AC-47s as they appeared in Vietnam

(http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww310/GJE52/102-1-1.jpg)

These featured 3 x SUU-11A/A 7.62mm gunpods.

The first and most famous was "Puff the Magic Dragon"

(http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww310/GJE52/104-1.jpg)

Once the idea was proven then they adopted the more familiar AC-47 Spooky scheme

Alternate scheme

Gunpod detail

Get the update here:

Replace the existing CY6_AC-47 folder in your MODS folder with the download.

If not already installed then add to air.ini:

AC-47 air.AC_47 1 NOINFO usa01 DESERT

Add to weapons.ru:

#####################################################################
# AC-47
#####################################################################
AC-47.default 3 x Miniguns @ 6000rpm, 45 flares
AC-47.3000rpm 3 x Miniguns @ 3000rpm, 45 flares
AC-47.none Empty

There is also a skin pack to get you started.

Note - some of the new and reworked meshes will not map completely to existing C-47 skins

Enjoy,

GJE52

And by the way... is this model the same as the one in DBW ?

Post by: Dark Apostle on January 27, 2013, 01:15:36 PM: Oooooh farkin giggity, cheers for this.
Question, if this is part of DBW 1.7, how would one upgrade the existing model with this mod?
Title: Re: AC-47 3d upgrade
Post by: BravoFxTrt on January 27, 2013, 01:18:52 PM: DA-In your #DBW it will load first, so just drop it in there.

BTW, you will still have your Slick C-47 as well.

Post by: Whiskey_Sierra_972 on January 28, 2013, 07:50:49 AM: A bit off topic but: anyone have it working correctly if used by AI?

In my rig it fly straight and leveled while shooting a long round of fire from the bow and releasing all flares without hitting nothing....

Post by: RooMan296 on February 20, 2013, 08:10:33 AM: This loadout will sink ships with a single burst. Insane destruction level and too fun to be legal! It may not be historical but when you're blowing stuff away you won't care. Thanks to Paulus for the new loadout. Turn off realistic gunnery, though...the recoil from the new guns is intense.
