Question for the Dev's

[Cam51]

Question: In Armed Assault, is it possible to have a "turret" optic on a fixed wing aircraft?

Example: Pilot flys, and gunner hits V/Num Pad 0 for optics and can ROTATE the crosshair around to scan the ground below.

The addon I am currently about to work on requires this feature to be in the game inorder for it's concept and idea to work properly. If its not possible, I won't even begin work.

Thanks for reading my question.

Think one of the Devs ( Suma? ) once posted something about it being a engine limitation.

Thats why the Ka-50 has a fixed one... pretty useless bird without it if you not just wanna hunt tanks.

[Nephilim]

wtf?
turrets are still not possible on fixed wing aircraft?
you must be kiddin...


GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

[Törni]

No turrets?

Well how does Cobra then fire all round with it's gun. The gun is in the nose mounted turret.

ROFLMAO

Ever knew the difference between fixed wing aircraft and rotary aircraft

Cobra is a Helicopter and configed that way in ArmA.
a fixed wing aircraft for example a AC-130 would be coded as a fixed wing aircraft.

that are 2 different classes in ArmA

I am presuming that this is for some kind of electro-optical
display for AGM 65 missiles or similar. If it is, then know that
there's no IR imagery possible either without extensive
modification, so if that was what you intended then it'd be
a non-starter on more than one count (if this assertion
about "no turrets on fixed wing a/c" is in fact true, that is).

[Törni]

Yeah and Kamov is a fixed wing plane...

[Nephilim]

its a rotary wing ..
its a chopper..
it only has wings for the purpose of carrying load...

The way I understand the turret limitations for aircraft is that the pilot/driver cannot operate a turret, therefore the cobra works and the ka50 does not.

I believe it should be possible to have turrets on class Plane, although I have no idea about the optics situation.......yet.

Nope.... but your getting kind of warm. Hint1: your thinking of the wrong weapon. Hint2: the new View distance fix in the patch will really let this addon shine.

IR imagery won't matter, but it would have been a nice touch.

Is there anyay you can get a solid confirm on this? With this answer I will start work, thanks for the information.
