Dogfight Effects!!!

With Flightgear's Increasing New Capabilities, We now have Dogfight Effects Such as Bullets and Smoke on Hit!

You'll Need the Version of Flightgear with Open Scene Graph, in order to use the Effects!

Setup

You First Need to Bind a key for the Trigger. To do this goto Your Flightgear Data Directory and Edit Keyboard.xml. 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. Change it to a Choice of your own!
