Guided Bombs?

2 asikes2  8.6 years ago

How can I control guided bombs that I have created without still controlling the plane?

    I have a solution. I built a bomb equipped with wing surfaces that mimics the planes and a camera. I then placed a bunch of parachutes on a detachable pad in the rear of the plane. Bring it up to 40.000 ft, reduce throttle to zero, deploy parachutes. The aircraft now hangs vertically, slowly descending. Deploy the bomb (or bombs, if you add more than one, it can get a bit hectic and you might need more altitude) and steer it to a bullseye. Hitting the carrier is no problem. Once the bomb has hit the target, return to the aircraft, drop the parachutes, power up and fly on.
    Easy peasy.

    I realized that won’t work as you can’t make them on an Activator... 🤦🏼‍♂️

    I would make the Wings of the Plane on Activator 7. Like that you can deactivate Pitch, Roll and Yaw, so it would fly straight. And when the Bomb exploded, you can reactivate the Wings of the Plane. At least that’s how i think it works. I will test it.

    I have done this, the bombs are controllable with a cam on front, and with wings and stabs... I know it can be done because it is done in real life... I just need to figure out in the game... but still i lose my plane because it is controlled the same way...

    I have something you might want to take a look at.

    So I figured that it would be best to have the controls for the plane lock in position. I did this by using hinges to control the roll and pitch. @CrazyCodeC @asikes2

    @CrazyCodeC likely.
    I've gotten a boom 50 and added wings, but it looked ugly and didn't work.

    @DisferGoatzFAILURE I believe he means if he built his own bombs that had control surfaces built in. Trust me though, I've tried, but I haven't found a solution.

    Setup the controls for the bomb on VTOL and Trim.
    Or alternatively you can make custom control surfaces for your aircraft that use rotators, setup on an activation group, so you can shut them off while controlling the bomb.

    Not possible.
    Only Missiles can be guided.
    Missiles are Interceptor
    Guardian
    And Inferno
    Which aren't bombs
