Rear Aspect Missiles

197 pg821  3.2 years ago

Has any body successfully created missiles that will only obtain a lock from behind? Im attempting to recreate something akin to the early AIM-9 models where the fighter must be in the rear quarter to obtain a lock on the enemy.

My current idea is to have a missile that will only be activated when in a 45 degree "cone" behind the enemy, that can then obtain a lock and fire.

Im fumbling around with the funkytrees rn for the activation xml, but im having a little trouble.

Has anyone attempted anything similar?

...or SP could add fox2s and id be happy

    Latitude+cos(TargetHeading)TargetDistancecos(TargetElevation)
    Longitude+sin(TargetHeading)TargetDistancecos(TargetElevation)
    you have target real position (in contrast to relative position)

    by applying rate to it, you find target speed
    then you use tan function to find target’s direction of movement
    and you just make sure this direction must be close to your heading
