(readme below included in the download also)

Description:
This script uses stock in game elements and some scripting to simulate an AC130 Gunship. This aircraft has several weapon systems mounted which can provide direct fire support to ground operations. The script also includes a FLIR (forward looking infa red) simulation script.

Crew: 2 (pilot / gunner)

Weapons: 1) M119 105mm Howitzer, 2) M134 .30 cal minigun, 3) M197 20mm cannon.

100% Multiplayer Compatiable

Possible to use with player directed A.I., but recommend avoiding.

The script does not respawn the AC130 if it is destroyed.


How to use in game:
The C130 can be used as it normally would. To use the gunner seat, position yourself in front of the cannon on the side and search the area forward it. Look for an action "Get in ZU-23 Gunner" in your action menu. Select that action to enter the gunner seat. To use the FLIR simulation script, be in the gunning position and use your action menu to bring up the FLIR menu. To rearm the weapons, use a standard ammo truck.

WARNING:
This script does have the following limitations to be aware of. It is possible as the gunner to hit the plane, be careful where you shoot. Also, when the plane is in a steep banked turn, the gunner might not be able to move his view. However he will regain control once the C130 is back in level flight. The pilot and gunner should work together to coordinate firing. The current arrangement of the weapon system performs best during stright, level flight.


INSTALLATION:
This script requires work in Windows and in your ArmA 2 editor to integrate it with your mission.

5. In your ArmA 2 editor open your mission.
