Finally the Hurricane is firing it´s guns!

[Gammel]

You´ll just have to change the Max fire range Value for AA Cannons in Sim.cfg file.
I have mine changed to 4000 atm.

The idea came back while reading this posting by CB:

there are some entrys that allow you adjust the AI gunnery rates etc--in the data/cfg/sim.cfg file (open with notepad)

[AI Cannons]
Max error angle=3 ;[deg]
Max fire range=6000 ;[m]
Max fire wait=12 ;[s]

[AI AA guns]
Max error angle=5 ;[deg]
Max fire range=1000 ;[m]
Max fire wait=7 ;[s]


i don't know how effective they are--

hehe i found out it can fire it´s cannons long ago, but had forgotten what i did changed to make it happend.

Playing around with those settings in the sim.cfg is real fun, you can make the warships make fire much earlier too (guess the AI Visual in AiSensors.dat has to be raised also)

Thanks for sharing!

Can aircraft now battle each other? :hmm:

[CCIP]

Sweet! I'll try this...

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Great find Gammel.

[Myxale]

Agree with Teddy! All those little things! That make the game more fun and a challenge!
Guys please post your range setting from the SIM file and share your results!

Aircraft will do battle with one another if they happen to get close enough. However, I do not think there is substantial dogfighting AI. I once saw a Sunderland fighting with some JU-88's near Malta but they moved like trains on a track and did not pursue one another once they were out of machine gun range. None of the planes suffered significant damage.

The LRG Mod address all these issues and more. I have been working on this and testing it for over 2 months now. Its nearing completion and will bring a new level of imersion and gameplay to SH3. And yes, Aircraft do and will engaged each other and do battle. Thats ALL Aircraft.

Which value do I have to change? It is not fully clear to me from the first post. Is it in the 'AI Cannons' or 'AI AA guns' section?

[AI Cannons]
Max error angle=3 ;[deg]
Max fire range=6000 ;[m] <----------- here?
Max fire wait=12 ;[s]

[AI AA guns]
Max error angle=5 ;[deg]
Max fire range=1000 ;[m] <----------- or here?
Max fire wait=7 ;[s]

Thanks for the help.

Hy LGN1,

to make the hurris firing their cannons change the value in the AI AA guns section.

[LGN1]

Thanks a lot! I will try it immediately.
