Goddamit, I knew it would.

Installed the HMCS on my Eurofighter. And as expected, it messes with the flight data. It also messes with the camera. Chase cam becomes a bit weird, but good potential for a cinematic. And external view cams are now pointed at the flight computer instead of the CoM.

Goodbye AoA and PitchRate inputs, I guess.

    Just found out a huge flaw in this...
    It works good, but one huge problem.
    It only works when you're on the cockpit camera. Meaning, I still can't have it, BECAUSE I CAN'T LOOK AROUND AND LOCK WHILE LOOKING AT THE TARGET WITH THE COCKPIT CAM AAAAAAAAAAAA
    At this point I'm starting to lose hope :(

    @ZeroWithSlashedO oh yeah it would be two...
    I still use regular cockpit blocks as the cockpit camera so I got confused
    Idk, just try it and see what happens

    oh ok, so two camera blocks then.
    One for the missile locking, and one for the looking around and rotating the cockpit cam.

    @ZeroWithSlashedO it's just one, but I forgot to mention for it to work, the camera has to physically change direction for it to work
    It's like what you did in the High Off Boresight video you made, just replace that flight computer with a camera with Missile Locking set to Yes
    I found this out when I was messing with the TGP on my A-10

    @ZeroWithSlashedO the cockpit would have its camera disabled, it's just there to pick up the flight data for your other systems in this setup

    I know this is old, but I made an accidental discovery and thought about this post.
    If you have a camera block set to cockpit with Missile Locking set to Yes, it will lock like the normal cockpit block based on where it is looking.
    So you might be able to install the HMCS by having the cockpit in the plane (not moving) and having a camera block do the locking.
