Howto:Adding gun effects: Difference between revisions

[[Image:Dogfight-Connie Target.jpg|thumb|270px|A [[Lockheed Constellation]] being hit.]]

With [[Flightgear]]'s increasing capabilities, dogfight effects such as bullets and smoke on hit are now supported! You'll need [[FlightGear 1.9.0|FlightGear version 1.9]] or later, in order to use the effects!

You first need to bind a key for the trigger. To do this edit the <tt>keyboard.xml</tt> file in your FlightGear root. Add the following:  

<key n="119">

  <name>w</name>

  <desc>Gun Trigger</desc>  

  <binding>

    <command>property-assign</command>

    <property>/controls/armament/trigger</property>

    <value>true</value>

  </binding>

  <mod-up>

  <binding>

    <command>property-assign</command>

    <property>/controls/armament/trigger</property>

    <value>false</value>

  </binding>  

  </mod-up>

</key>

In the code, we have used '''w''' as the trigger. You can change it to a choice of your own.

All aircraft equipped with guns in [http://home.comcast.net/~davidculp2/hangar/hangar.html Dave's hangar] are capable to perform dogfights. Like:

* Embraer AT-29 Super Tucano

* McDonnell F-4N Phantom II

* [[Republic F-105 Thunderchief|Republic F-105D Thunderchief]]

* McDonnell FGR.2 Phantom II
